（单词翻译）

2003年，四届格莱美奖得主、R&B音乐教父级人物Luther Vandross（路瑟·范德鲁斯）在其专辑“Dance with my father ”中重新演绎了这首“Buy me a rose1 ”。Luther Vandross的翻唱版本注入了更多了流行元素，与Kenny Rogers温暖厚重的粗哑嗓音相比，Luther Vandross忧郁的金嗓在R&B华丽的节奏中得到了完美的释放。

Buy me a rose by Kenny Rogers

He works2 hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage3, her own4 credit5 cards
He pulls6 in late to wake7 her up with a kiss8 good night
If he could9 only read her mind10, she'd say:


Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would11 it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life12

Now the days have grown to years of feeling13 all alone14
And she can't help but wonder15 what she's doing wrong
Cause16 lately17 she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference18 if she said19:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life

And the more that he lives the less20 that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside21
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart22 that I hurt
And I hope23 you notice24 this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
For the rest of your life.

I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life
