I am a flower.

我是花。

Yes, I'm beautiful. I've heard it before and it never grows old.

人们常说我很美，我知道

I'm worshiped for my looks, my scent, my looks.

你们喜欢我，迷恋我，我的外表

But here's the thing. Life starts with me.

但是，你们别忘了，没有我，生命无从谈起

You see I feed people.

想想看，谁在哺育你们？是我

Every fruit comes from me.

每个水果，来自于我

Every potato. Me.

每个土豆，也来自于我

Every kernel of corn. Me. Every grain of rice. Me.

每颗麦子，每粒米，都来自于我

Me, me, me, I know. But it's true.

我，我，我，难道不是吗

And sometimes I feed their souls.

有些时候，你们的心灵也会需要我

I am their words when they have none.

当你无法表达的时候

I say “I love you,” without a sound. “I'm sorry,” without a voice.

我可以轻而易举的帮你说出“对不起”， 还有“我爱你”

I inspire the greatest of them.

那些不朽的创作啊

Painters, poets, pattern makers. I've been a muse to them all.

我更是你们灵魂的源泉

But in my experience, people underestimate the power of a pretty little flower.

可惜，即便如此，你们仍然低估了一朵美丽的小花

Because their life does start with me and it could end without me.

有没有人告诉过你，我没了，你们也就没了
