歌词
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
用一首甜蜜的情歌送走我
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
主啊,请让我化作彩虹,我想要照耀我的母亲
Lord make me a rainbow' I'll shine down on my mother
当她站在我的七彩之下
She'll know I'm safe with you
她就会知道我和您一起幸福平安
When she stands under my colors
生活并不总像你所预料的那样
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be' no
头发并未花白,却埋葬了自己的孩子
Ain't even grey' but she buries her baby
须臾生命如同锋利刀刃
我已经活了足够的时间
The sharp knife of a short life' well
若我英年早逝,请将我葬在绸缎中
I’ve had just enough time
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
If I die young bury me in satin
用一首甜蜜的情歌送走我
Lay me down on a bed of roses
须臾生命如同锋利刀刃
Sink me in the river at dawn
我已经活了足够的时间
Send me away with the words of a love song
我会一袭白衣,来到您的殿堂
就像我冰冷手指上的指环那样青涩
The sharp knife of a short life' well
我还从没有感受过一个男子的温柔
I’ve had just enough time
但他牵我手的时时候,那种感觉一定非常美好
小镇上有个男孩说他会永远爱我
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
谁又能想到永远竟会就这样天人永隔
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
须臾生命如同锋利刀刃
I've never known the lovin' of a man
我已经活了足够的时间
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
所以请你盛装出席吧,而我也会带上我的珍珠项链
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
我所有的心愿都已经完成
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
曾经不被看重的一切,现在却成了无价之宝
只有在我死去之后,它们才变得更有价值
The sharp knife of a short life' well
也许到了那时,你才会真正听懂我唱过的歌
I've had just enough time
可笑的是,人们的倾听总是慢于死亡
若我英年早逝,请将我葬在绸缎中
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
What I never did is done
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
用一首甜蜜的情歌送走我
A penny for my thoughts' oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
Oh oh
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
白鸽唱起歌谣
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
带着爱与平静
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
请收起你为我而流的眼泪吧,在你的口袋里装好
好好保留,直到你真正需要它们的那一天
If I die young bury me in satin
须臾生命如同锋利刀刃
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
所以请你盛装出席吧,而我也会带上我的珍珠项链
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 them for a time when your 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
