Many times,the small things in life,which we often ignore,are more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable.This theme is highlighted in Kenny Rogerssong“Buy Me a Rose”.In his song,he insists on the fact that the expression of love plays a significant role in a relationship.However,many people seem to ignore this fact and assume that love can be expressed through wealth and riches.
In his song,Kenny Rogers narrates the story of a wife whose husband loves her very much.However,she thinks that the way her husband shows her his love is not appropriate.According to her husband,the best way of showing his love to his wife is by providing her with all the wealth and comforts of life.Consequently,he works hard day and night and is thus not able to devote any of his time to her.His wife,however,argues that this is not what she wants.All she wants for him is to show her more affection by giving her more of his time,caring for her and by expressing his feelings for her.These are the things that she yearns for in her life and not the big,flashy things that he has given her.
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.
To her,these are all the things that can bring her maximum joy and happiness.Although her husband loves her very much,his way of showing his love for her is creating distances between the two.And as time passes by,the distance keeps increasing.
This song expresses how we lead our lives in todays world and how we think that it takes a lot to make a person happy.It is always the simple pleasures of life which make a difference.It is never the big and flashy things.
The main idea of“Buy Me a Rose”is that people who are closer to us deserve more sincere expressions of our love,which may be found in smaller things in life.Spending time with them rather than spending money on them is a better way of expressing our love.We should learn to express our feelings than to show our love through material goods.
Express your love.
大多數時候，被我們忽略的許多生活小事，其實比我們自認為意義重大的事要重要得多。這一觀點在肯尼·羅傑斯的歌曲《為我買朵玫瑰花》中表現得淋漓盡致。歌中他堅信一個事實，表達愛意在男女關係的發展中起著重要作用，然而很多人對此卻不以為然，認為愛可以通過金錢和財富來表達。
肯尼·羅傑斯在歌中敘述了這樣一個故事：有一位妻子，她有一個深愛著她的丈夫，但她卻始終不滿意丈夫的示愛方式。在丈夫看來，讓妻子擁有全部財富，過上安逸的生活就是最好的示愛方式。因此他夜以繼日地工作，根本沒有時間陪妻子。妻子抱怨說，這並不是她想要的，她隻希望丈夫能多花點時間陪她、關心她、向她傾訴愛意。這就是她生活中的全部渴望，很平凡卻細膩，與那些俗麗的物質毫無關係。
買朵玫瑰花送給我，工作時打個電話給我，
為我打開一扇門，你會因此受傷嗎？
用脈脈含情的眼神表達你對我的愛，
這些微不足道的事情卻是我生活中最渴求的。
對她來說，這些能給她帶來最大的快樂和幸福。雖然丈夫很愛她，但他表達愛意的方式讓兩個人漸行漸遠，而隨著時間的推移，這一距離還將不斷增加。
這首歌體現了我們現在的生活方式，說出了我們的心聲：讓一個人幸福需要付出諸多代價。生活的改善往往源於簡單樸素的歡愉，而絕非複雜的奢華之物。
《為我買朵玫瑰花》的主旨就是，我們身邊的愛人需要我們以更加真誠的方式向他們表達愛意，而這些方式恰恰緣於生活中的許多小事。多抽時間陪他們比為他們花錢更能表達我們的愛意。我們應當學會用語言和行動來表達自己的感情，而不要讓愛的表達流於物質。
大聲說出你的愛吧。
