If I Die Young
If I die young bury me in satin
若我英年早逝，請將我葬在綢緞中
Lay me down on a bed of roses
讓我躺在鋪滿玫瑰的床上
Sink me in the river at dawn
在黎明時分將我沉入河中
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，請讓我化作彩虹，我想要照耀我的母親
Lord make me a rainbow Ill shine down on my mother
當她站在我的七彩之下
Shell know Im safe with you
她就會知道我和您一起幸福平安
When she stands under my colors
生活並不總像你所預料的那樣
Oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be no
頭髮並未花白，卻埋葬了自己的孩子
Aint even grey but she buries her baby
須臾生命如同鋒利刀刃
我已經活了足夠的時間
The sharp knife of a short life well
若我英年早逝，請將我葬在綢緞中
I've had just enough time
讓我躺在鋪滿玫瑰的床上
在黎明時分將我沉入河中
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
須臾生命如同鋒利刀刃
Sink me in the river at dawn
我已經活了足夠的時間
Send me away with the words of a love song
我會一襲白衣，來到您的殿堂
就像我冰冷手指上的指環那樣青澀
The sharp knife of a short life well
我還從沒有感受過一個男子的溫柔
I've had just enough time
但他牽我手的時時候，那種感覺一定非常美好
小鎮上有個男孩說他會永遠愛我
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
誰又能想到永遠竟會就這樣天人永隔
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
須臾生命如同鋒利刀刃
Ive never known the lovin of a man
我已經活了足夠的時間
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
所以請你盛裝出席吧，而我也會帶上我的珍珠項鍊
Theres a boy here in town says hell love me forever
我所有的心願都已經完成
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
曾經不被看重的一切，現在卻成了無價之寶
只有在我死去之後，它們才變得更有價值
The sharp knife of a short life well
也許到了那時，你才會真正聽懂我唱過的歌
Ive had just enough time
可笑的是，人們的傾聽總是慢於死亡
若我英年早逝，請將我葬在綢緞中
So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
讓我躺在鋪滿玫瑰的床上
What I never did is done
在黎明時分將我沉入河中
用一首甜蜜的情歌送走我
A penny for my thoughts oh no Ill sell them for a dollar
Oh oh
Theyre worth so much more after I'm a goner
白鴿唱起歌謠
And maybe then youll hear the words I been singing
帶著愛與平靜
Funny when youre dead how people start listening
請收起你為我而流的眼淚吧，在你的口袋裡裝好
好好保留，直到你真正需要它們的那一天
If I die young bury me in satin
須臾生命如同鋒利刀刃
Lay me down on a bed of roses
我已經活了足夠的時間
Sink me in the river at dawn
所以請你盛裝出席吧，而我也會帶上我的珍珠項鍊
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
Ive had just enough time
So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
