Below, I translated the lyrics of the song The Rose by Nana Mouskouri from English to Spanish.
Some say love, it is a river
Algunos dicen amor, es un río
That drowns the tender reed
Que ahoga la tierna caña
Some say love, it is razor
Algunos dicen amor, es maquinilla de afeitar
That leaves your soul to bleed
Que deja tu alma para sangrar
Some say love, it is a hunger
Algunos dicen amor, es un hambre
An endless aching need
Una necesidad dolorosa interminable
I say love, it is a flower
Digo amor, es una flor
And you its only seed
Y tu es la única semilla
It's the heart afraid of breaking
Es el corazón temeroso de romperse
That never learns to dance
Que nunca aprende a bailar
Its the dream afraid of waking
Es el sueño temeroso de despertar
That never takes the chance
Que nunca aprovecha la oportunidad
It's the one who won't be taken
Es el que no será tomado
Who cannot seem to give
Que parece no dar
And the soul afraid of dying
Y el alma temerosa de morir
That never learns to live
Que nunca aprende a vivir
When the night has been too lonely
Cuando la noche ha sido demasiado sola
And the road has been too long
Y el camino ha pasado demasiado tiempo
And you think that love is only
Y crees que el amor es solo
For the lucky and the strong
Para la suerte y los fuertes
Just remember in the winter
Solo recuerda en invierno
Far beneath the bitter snows
Muy por debajo de las nieves amargas
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
Se encuentra la semilla que con el amor del sol
In the spring becomes the rose
En la primavera se convierte en la rosa
