If I Die Young

If I die young bury me in satin
若我英年早逝，請將我裹在緞中埋葬
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
用充滿愛中的詞句為我送行
oh
噢……
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
主啊，將我化作彩虹吧，我會照耀我的母親
Shell know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
當她站在我的七彩之下，她便會知道我和您在一起如此安詳
Oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be, no
噢是的，生活並不總像你所預料的那樣
Aint even grey, but she buries her baby
總是那樣灰暗，儘管她埋葬了她的孩子
The sharp knife of a short life, well
短暫生命裡的刺痛啊
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
我將身著白衣走進你的王國
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
就像是我冰冷的手指上的指環那樣青澀
I've never known the lovin of a man
我從未感受過一個人的溫柔
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
但當他握著我的手時，那感覺的確那樣美好
There's a boy here in town says he'll love my forever
鎮上有一個男孩在說他會永遠愛我
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
但誰知道這竟會這樣天人兩隔
The sharp knife of a short life, well

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
所以穿上你最好的衣裝,我也將會戴上我的珍珠
What I never did is done
我終於完成了我從未做到的事
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
我的想法只值一分錢，不，我會把它賣到一美元
Theyre worth so much more after I'm a goner
它們在我成為逝者後會更有價值
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
也許到那時你才會真正“聽懂”我唱的那些歌兒
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'
在你死後人們才開始傾聽，這是多麼可笑啊
