If I die young 若我不测

If I die young 若我不测
The Band Perry


If I die young bury me in satin
若吾早逝，锦缎裹尸
Lay me down on a bed of roses
刺玫满榻，香身如嫁
Sink me in the river at dawn
晨曦似蜡，沉入河下
Send me away with the words of a love song oh oh oh oh
一曲别离，空留叹息

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
吾身化虹，家慈沐光
She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
螺髻墨存，安在佳人
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
事不如意，毋忆往昔
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
天无黛迹，母子孑立

The sharp knife of a short life, well
白驹过隙，满目荆棘
I’ve had just enough time
时日足兮

If I die young bury me in satin
若吾早逝，锦缎裹尸
Lay me down on a bed of roses
刺玫满榻，香身如嫁
Sink me in the river at dawn
晨曦似蜡，沉入河下
Send me away with the words of a love song oh oh oh oh
一曲别离，空留叹息

The sharp knife of a short life, well
白驹过隙，满目荆棘
I’ve had just enough time
时日足兮

And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
白裳草履，寒舍陋室
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
芊芊玉指，尚无金石
I’ve never known the lovin' of a man
吾至爱汝，称心快意
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
携汝之手，时驻三秋
There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love my forever
另有弱水，更替沧海
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
断肠绝哀，别去怎奈

The sharp knife of a short life, well
白驹过隙，满目荆棘
I’ve had just enough time
时日足兮

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
素身革履，珠光宝气
What I never did is done
事已至此

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
吾之毫厘，汝之百千
*They're* worth so much more after I’m a goner
只等流年，情比金坚
And maybe then you’ll *hear* the words I‘ve been singin’
把酒言欢，感念依然
Funny when your dead how people start listenin’
人故名传，徒增笑谈

If I die young bury me in satin
若吾早逝，锦缎裹尸
Lay me down on a bed of roses
刺玫满榻，香身如嫁
Sink me in the river at dawn
晨曦似蜡，沉入河下
Send me away with the words of a love song oh oh oh oh
一曲别离，空留叹息


The ballad of a dove
归鸟寄情
Go with peace and love
衔爱独行
Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
挽袖拭泪，笑靥如水
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them oh
尘封独醉，适时来归


The sharp knife of a short life, well
白驹过隙，满目荆棘
I’ve had just enough time
时日足兮

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
素身革履，珠光宝气
