If I Die Young

If I Die Young - The Band Perry

Written by：Kimberly Perry

If I die young bury me in satin

假使我年少弃世 请以绫罗绸缎掩埋我

Lay me down on a bed of roses

让我躺在嫣红芬芳的玫瑰花床之上

Sink me in the river at dawn

让黎明晨光伴我葬入河流

Send me away with the words of a love song

以真情爱曲为我饯行

Uh oh uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother

上帝将我化为一道道绚烂彩虹 照耀着我的母亲

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors

当她伫于我的虹霓彩桥之下 她方知我依然安好 与您同在

Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be no

生活不总是像你以为的那般 并非那般

Ain't even grey but she buries her baby

甚至得绝望灰暗的由她亲手埋葬自己的孩子

The sharp knife of a short life

犹如锋利快刀下的短暂人生

Oh well I've had just enough time

好吧 我想我已有足够的时间

If I die young bury me in satin

假使我年少弃世 请以绫罗绸缎掩埋我

Lay me down on a bed of roses

让我躺在嫣红芬芳的玫瑰花床之上

Sink me in the river at dawn

让黎明晨光伴我葬入河流

Send me away with the words of a love song

以真情爱曲为我饯行

The sharp knife of a short life

犹如锋利快刀下的短暂人生

Oh well I've had just enough time

好吧 我想我已有足够的时间

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

我将身着纯白衣裳 前往天国

I'm As green as the ring on my little cold finger

我面色恰如冰冷小指上的戒指一样发青

I've never known the loving of a man

我未曾与任何人坠入爱恋

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

暖阳中紧握你的手 这感觉真的很美好

There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

有一个男孩对我说 他会永远爱我

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

谁曾预料 那所谓的永远却中断 就被那

The sharp knife of a short life

犹如锋利快刀下的短暂人生

Oh well I've had just enough time

好吧 我想我已有足够的时间

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

就穿上你最好的衣装 我也会戴上我的珠宝

What I never did is done

我终于完成了我从未做到的事

A penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell 'em for a dollar

一分钱想买我的思想 哦不我的出价是一块钱

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

当我成为逝者之后它们将更有价值

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing

也许你会听到我曾一直吟唱的歌词

Funny when you're dead how people start listening

有趣的是在你离开人世后 人们该如何开始聆听

If I die young bury me in satin

假使我年少弃世 请以绫罗绸缎掩埋我

Lay me down on a bed of roses

让我躺在嫣红芬芳的玫瑰花床之上

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

以真情爱曲为我饯行

The ballad of a dove

那是鸽子的歌谣

Go with peace and love

总是带着平静和爱

Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket

收起你的泪水吧 将它们收进你的口袋里

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them

好好保留直到宝贵的时刻

The sharp knife of a short life oh

犹如锋利快刀下的短暂人生

Well I've had just enough time

好吧 我想我已有足够的时间

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls
