銀蓮花的希臘語是風的意思。銀蓮花的高度從十到二十公分左右,是一年生的草本植物。銀蓮花在開花時節,可愛的花朵迎風搖擺,就像在引頸期盼著什麼似的,所以它的花語是「期待」。因此,銀蓮花是一種淒涼而寂寞的花。但是,人世間有種淒涼是你所愛的人愛著別人,假如真的是這樣就不妨送他一束銀蓮花吧!也許只有懂得寂寞淒涼的人,才能理解別人的寂寞與淒涼。
Windflower - Seals and Crofts
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them
迎風花兒,父親對我說別靠近它
He feared them always, said they carried him away
他總有些害怕,他說他為了他們失去了理智
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them
迎風花兒,我急切地要撫摸它
To smell them I held them closely
貼近聞聞它的芬芳
Now I cannot break away
如今我已無法自拔
Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert
它的芳香消失猶如水氣沙漠中蒸發
Take a warning, son
保持理智啊,我親愛的孩子
Windflowers,
迎風花兒
their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them
美麗迷惑了每個年輕的追夢人
Ancient windflowers, I love you
就是無法不愛妳,不老的迎風花兒
