Please listen to this song and express what you think it means.

同学们知道这首歌的大意吗? 知道的请在下面回帖.

Hint: This song was re-written upon Diana's death and sang at her funeral by Elton John.

He originally wrote this song about a famous movie star (Good bye Norma Jean) and then re-wrote the words for Diana, she was England's Rose. There is historical signifigance to this song. Can you understand the symbolism?

提示: 这首歌是特别为英国王妃戴安娜的葬礼而作.

Goodbye England`s rose;
may you ever grow in our hearts.

You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.

You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.

Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.

And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England`s greenest hills;
your candle`s burned out long before
your legend ever will.

Loveliness we`ve lost;
these empty days without your smile.

This torch we`ll always carry
for our nation`s golden child.

And even though we try,
the truth brings us to tears;
all our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years.

Goodbye England`s rose,
from a country lost without your soul,
[who`ll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you`ll ever know.`

I like Diana so much because she had never lost.

She had a mind of her own and needed to find things out for herself. She was no pushover.

She did much to public work. She actively supported many charities related to homeless and deprived children, drug abuse, breast cancer, and victims of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS).She was the vice president of the British Red Cross and served as a member of the International Red Cross advisory board. In 1997 Diana visited Angola and Bosnia and Herzegovina in support of a Red Cross campaign to ban Iandmines.

England does not lose his rose if love is there.

I want to say that your English is so good.
