歌词与中文翻译
If I die young bury me in satin
若我英年早逝，请将我葬在绸缎中
Lay me down on a bed of roses
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
Sink me in the river at dawn
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
Send me away with the words of a love song
用情歌中的词句为我送行
oh oh oh oh
主啊，请让我化作彩虹，我想要照耀我的母亲
当她站在我的七彩之下
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
她便会知道我和您在一起如此平安
She'll know I'm safe with you
生活并不总像你所预料的那样
When she stands under my colors
总是那样灰暗，尽管她埋葬了她的孩子
Oh and life isn't always what you think it ought to be, no
须臾生命的尖锐刀锋啊
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
我已经活了足够的时间
若我英年早逝，请将我葬在绸缎中
The sharp knife of a short life, well
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
I’ve had just enough time
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
用情歌中的词句为我送行
If I die young bury me in satin
须臾生命的尖锐刀锋啊
Lay me down on a bed of roses
我已经活了足够的时间
Sink me in the river at dawn
我会穿着纯白的衣服走进你的王国
Send me away with the words of a love song
就像是我冰冷的手指上的指环那样青涩
我从未感受过一个男子的温柔
The sharp knife of a short life, well
但当他握着我的手的时候，那感觉应的确那样美好
I’ve had just enough time
这座小镇中有一个男孩说他会永远爱我
但谁知道永远竟会就这样天人两隔
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
须臾生命的尖锐刀锋啊
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
我已经活了足够的时间
I've never known the lovin' of man
男孩，请穿上你最好的衣装，我也会戴上我的珍珠
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
我终于完成了我从未做到的事
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
一分钱想买我的思想，哦不，我的出价是一块钱
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
当我成为逝者之后他们将更有价值
也许到那时你才会真正听懂我唱的那些歌儿
The sharp knife of a short life, well
在你死后人们才开始倾听，这是多么可笑啊
I've had just enough time
若我英年早逝，请将我葬在绸缎中
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
So put on your best， boys and I'll wear my pearls
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
What I never did is done
用情歌中的词句为我送行
鸽子的歌谣
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell'em for a dollar
总是带着平静和爱
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
攒起你的泪水吧，将它们收进你的口袋里
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin’
好好保留着直到你真正需要它们的时候
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
须臾生命的尖锐刀锋啊
我已经活了足够的时间
If I die young bury me in satin
请穿上你最好的衣装吧，我也会戴上我的珍珠
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
