If I Die Young

If I die young bury me in satin
如果死得早，請幫我穿上漂亮的衣服
Lay me down on a bed of roses
請讓我躺在滿是玫瑰的床上
Sink me in the river at dawn
讓我在拂曉的河裡下沉
Send me away with the words of a love song
並用情歌來為我送行
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

當我母親會看到上帝為我做的彩虹時
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
她就知道我平安如故
She'll know I'm safe with you
當她站在我的色彩下
When she stands under my colors
生活不總像你想像的那樣不像
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
甚至是並不灰暗，但是她埋葬了她的寶貝
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
短暫的生命像尖刀一樣

好在我有足夠的時間
The sharp knife of a short life, well
如果我死得早，請幫我穿上漂亮的衣服
I've had just enough time
請讓我躺在滿是玫瑰的床上

讓我在拂曉的河裡下沉
If I die young bury me in satin
並用情歌來為我送行
Lay me down on a bed of roses
短暫的生活像尖刀一樣
Sink me in the river at dawn
好在我有足夠的時間
Send me away with the words of a love song
我會穿著美麗的衣服來到你面前

我會像我手上的戒指一樣閃亮
The sharp knife of a short life, well
我從不知曉我愛的王子
I've had just enough time
但我知道當他牽著我的手時一定很美好

鎮上的一個男孩說他會愛我一輩子
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
他會陪我一輩子
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
短暫的生活像尖刀一樣
I've never known the lovin' of a man
好在我有足夠的時間
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
那就帶上你最愛的男孩我會戴上我的珍珠項鍊
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
我完成了我的心願
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
我的想法會值一分錢噢，不它們值一美元

在我走之後它們會更值錢
The sharp knife of a short life, well
也許你以後會聽到我唱歌
I've had just enough time
有趣的是當你死了之後

如果死得早，請幫我穿上漂亮的衣服
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
讓我躺在滿是玫瑰的床上
What I never did is done
讓我在拂曉的河裡下沉

並用情歌來為我送行
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
唱著純潔的民謠
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
帶上安寧和愛情
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
收好你的淚水,把它們放在口袋裡

留著它們以備以後會需要
If I die young bury me in satin
短暫的生命像尖刀一樣
Lay me down on a bed of roses
好在我有足夠的時間
Sink me in the river at dawn
那就帶上你最愛的男孩我會戴上我的珍珠項鍊
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
I 've had just enough time

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