译文：
苏格兰伟大的诗人罗伯特·伯恩斯，同时也是一位词作者，花了近十年的时间挽救苏格兰传统民歌。他为后人留下了300多首歌曲，其中包括这首《A Red, Red Rose》，也叫做《My Love is Like A Red, Red Rose》。 这首诗来自苏格兰民间，歌词简单、直接，让人如同置身红玫瑰前面，真切的感受到歌词中洋溢的对爱情的热切。海枯石烂，这样的修饰在不同语言中却有着同样的含义，也许正因为这样质朴的语言，民歌才能流传下来，才能被今人所传唱。
《一朵红红的玫瑰》是彭斯根据苏格兰民谣创作的一首脍炙人口的爱情诗篇，充分体现了民歌特有的清新自然和真挚纯朴。诗的第一节，诗人以十分欢愉、自豪的口吻用两个比喻写出了心上人之美：“六月盛开的红玫瑰”和“悦耳动听的甜美乐曲”。这里，“红红的玫瑰”意象生动，象征了心上人的美丽和青春活力。悦耳动听的甜美乐曲”则进一步强调心上人从形体乃至性格的和谐、完美。诗的第二、三两节层层递进，表达了诗人对心上人的炽烈的爱情。诗中“大海干涸水流尽”、“岩石被太阳融化”更是独具匠心的妙笔，用以比喻坚贞的爱情。这时，诗的意象也随即发生了变化，不再是一朵红红的玫瑰、一支动人的乐曲，而是一个更新、更广、更深沉的意境，扩展到辽阔的海洋、坚固的岩石和烈日炎炎的太阳。诗人然后表达自己坚贞的爱情立场：整个宇宙可以变化甚至被摧毁，惟独爱情亘古不变。短短16行诗句，“luve”、“my Dear”等字眼虽然不断出现，但丝毫没有繁冗之感，反而更显得情真意切，流露出质朴无华的淙淙情感。另外，富有乐感的重复，也有利于衬托诗人那刻骨铭心的爱。虽说这是告别之辞，却又是笃实的誓言，深情地传达了诗人无限的情感。综观全诗，无论意象、结构，还是遣词造句都显得自然、优美，清新质朴的民歌诗体又使其乐感倍增。

赏析：
The theme of Burns's poem is, yes, about love. Burns uses two metaphors to define his love for the lady of his affections-- both a rose, and a melody "sweetly play'd in tune". It seems as though he's leaving for a period of time, and this is a farewell poem to his lass. However, before he leaves, he is declaring his undying devotion, saying that the oceans will dry up before his love for her runs out. A simple, yet classic love poem.
2. Summary, Stanza 1
The speaker presents two similes, the first comparing his love to a rose and the second comparing his love to a melody. The speaker also uses repetition to echo his sentiments--my luve's like in lines 1 and 3; that's newly and that's sweetly (pronoun, verb, and adverb combinations) in lines 2 and 4.
Summary, Stanza 2
The speaker addresses the young lady as bonnie (pretty). Bonnie is derived from the French word bon (good). In the last line of the stanza, a' means all and gang means go. This line introduces to the poem hyperbole, a figure of speech that exaggerates.
Summary, Stanza 3
The speaker links the first line of the third stanza with the last line of the second stanza by repetition. The speaker continues hyperbole in the second and fourth lines. He also again relies on repetition in the third line by repeating the third line of the second stanza
Summary, Stanza 4
The speaker again addresses his beloved, noting that though he must leave her for a while he will return for her even if he must travel ten thousand miles. Repetition occurs in the first and second lines, and hyperbole occurs in the last line. Fare-thee-weel means fare thee well
