Windflowers

by James Seals and Dan Crofts

(citation)
Windflowers,
my father told me not to go near them,
he said he feared them always
and he told me that they carried him away.

Windflowers, beautiful windflowers,
I couldn't wait to touch them,
to smell them, I held them closely
and now I cannot break away

their sweet bouquet disappears
like a vapor in the desert
so...take a warning. son.....

Windflowers ....
ancient windflowers
their beauty captures every
young dreamer who lingers near them
but ancient windflowers I love you

(sung)
Windflowers
my father told me not to
go near them
he feared them always
said they carried him away

Windflowers
I couldn't wait to touch them
to smell them
I held them closely
now I cannot break away

their sweet bouquet disappears
like a vapor in the desert
take a warning son

Windflowers
their beauty captures every
young dreamer
who lingers near them
ancient windflowers I love you

Notes 簡介

The young hunter Adonis is Venus' favorite. The God of Venus warned him: Don't offend those ferocious beasts, only show courage to docile animals. He is her happiness, and she doesn't want him to risk his life. However, the proud Adonis valued his honor even more. Finally, he was stabbed to death by a wild boar during a hunt. His heroic appearance can make the gods fascinated by him, but he can't move the hearts of the orcs.

When Venus rushed to his side, his body was frozen in a pool of blood. She wailed and swore: "Every year from now on, I will relive your death and my mourning. Your blood will turn into flowers as a sign of my mourning."

She spilled wine in a pool of blood. The wine seeped into the blood, bubbling like raindrops in a pool. Slowly, a blood-red flower grew on the ground. But the flowering period is not long. It is said that when the wind blows, the buds will spit out the stamens, and when there is another gust of wind, the petals will fall. Therefore, people call it Windflower - a flower that grows and dies with the wind. Because the wind can urge it to blossom, and it can also urge it to wither.

青年獵人 Adonis 是 Venus 的寵兒。愛神告誡他:不要去冒犯那些兇猛的野獸,對溫順的小動物才可拿出勇氣。他是她的幸福,她不希望他拿生命去冒險。但是,驕傲的Adonis更珍視自己的榮譽。終於,他在一場獵殺中被野豬刺死。他的英姿能使神祗為他著迷,卻不能打動獸族的心。

當愛神趕到他身邊時,他的屍體已在血泊中冰冷。她哀嚎著發誓:「從今後每一年都要重溫一次你的死亡和我的哀悼。你的鮮血將化成花朵,作為我哀傷的標誌。」

她將酒灑在血泊裏。酒滲到血裏,泛出氣泡,仿佛雨滴落入水池。慢慢的,一朵殷紅如血的花朵平地而生。但花期不長。據說,經風一吹花苞就吐蕊,再一陣風,花瓣就飄零。所以,人們稱它為「風花」 - 隨風生滅的花。因為風能催它綻放,又能催它調謝。
