♪ Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin ♪

与你绝美共舞，伴着炽热小提琴

♪ Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in ♪

舞过惊慌失措，直至我安然栖身

♪ Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove ♪

如橄榄枝般举起我，做我归巢的鸽

♪ And dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

♪ Yeah, dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

♪ Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone ♪

让我看你的美丽，当见证者都散去

♪ Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon ♪

让我感受你的律动，像巴比伦那般神秘

♪ Show me slowly what I only know the limits of ♪

慢慢展示我所知有限的一切

♪ And dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

♪ Dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

(romantic strings music continues)

(romantic strings music continues)

♪ Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on ♪

与我共舞至婚礼，此刻，舞不停歇

♪ Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long ♪

温柔地与我共舞，长久地与我共舞

♪ We're both of us beneath our love, both of us above ♪

我们都身处爱之下，亦在爱之上

♪ And dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

♪ Yeah, dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途

♪ Dance me to the children who are asking to be born ♪

与我共舞至孩童身边，他们渴望降生

♪ Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn ♪

舞过重重帷幔，那是我们亲吻所磨损的

♪ Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn ♪

撑起庇护的帐篷，纵然每根线都已撕裂

♪ And dance me to the end of love ♪

与我共舞，直到爱之终途
