我用软弱的低语呼唤我的爱人，但在我的意识中又聚起阴郁的幻想．我用我软弱的手在黑暗中把你寻觅。突然，在我滚烫的额头，我感觉到你的眼泪、你的亲吻和你的气息。——普希金《康复》
还记得《地海传说》里面空灵纯净、涤荡心灵的歌声吗，她就是手嶌葵。手嶌葵演绎了翻唱过无数次的名曲，包括这首《The Rose》。 《The Rose》是一首传唱了几十载的经典老歌。爱就是一朵花，只要心中播种希望，春天来临时定有馨香玫瑰绽放。想送给你，让我们心怀玫瑰，聆听天籁般的歌声，默记富含哲理的词句“Lies the seed that with the sun’s love，In the spring becomes the rose”。 《The Rose 》这首感人至深的歌曲多年来始终深受喜爱，除在1979年的电影《歌声泪痕 The Rose》作为主题曲，由Bette Midler首唱发行，并夺得了白金单曲外。影片《大人物拿破仑 Napoleon Dynamite》(2004)也使用了此曲，此外宫崎骏的作品《岁月的童话おもひでぽろぽろ》(1989)的片尾曲“爱は花、君はその种子”亦是由这首歌曲改编的，都はるみ(北村春美)演唱。平井坚在专辑“Ken’s Bar”中也翻唱过这首歌。 其作者Amanda McBroom也录制了一个版本，感觉很不相同。后来相继有多个当红歌手争相翻唱，包括红遍全球的美国天才少女LeAnn Rimes，以及超人气组合westlife，英国走红女歌手Natalie Imbruglia，港台老将林忆莲与齐豫、黄莺莺，小天后蔡依林，新生力量阿桑，更有日本唱功见长的矢野真纪和很少听到的男生版本平井坚，还有日本的女歌手兼声优手嶌葵(Aoi Teshima) 也翻唱过这个版本，所有这些版本各具韵味，我最开始听的是西域男孩(即westlife)的版本，感觉还不错。最近日本的一部由真实故事改编的特殊的爱情故事《生命的最后一个花嫁》也用了这首歌，用在去婚礼的路上，患癌症的女主人公望向车外。歌声里，勉励完成的婚礼中的痛与幸福，飘进人心。 试听：
