[中文]

若我早逝，请用绸缎裹我

将我安放在玫瑰花床上

拂晓时，将我沉入河中

用一首情歌送我远去

哦-哦，哦-哦

主啊，让我化作彩虹，我会照耀我的母亲

当她站在我的色彩下，她会知道我在你身边很安全

哦，生活并非总是如你所想的那样，不

甚至不是灰色，但她埋葬了她的孩子

短暂人生的锋利刀刃

...

我已拥有了足够的时间

若我早逝，请用绸缎裹我

将我安放在玫瑰花床上

拂晓时，将我沉入河中

用一首情歌送我远去

短暂人生的锋利刀刃

我已拥有了足够的时间

当我进入你的国度，我将身着白纱

我小而冰冷的手指上，戴着翠绿的戒指

我从未体验过男人的爱

但他握住我的手时，感觉真好

镇上有一个男孩，说他会永远爱我

谁会想到永远会被

短暂人生的锋利刀刃所斩断

我已拥有了足够的时间

...

...

所以穿上你最好的衣服，我会戴上我的珍珠

我未完成的事都已结束

一分钱买我的想法，哦不，我要卖一美元

在我离世后，它们会更有价值

也许那时你们才会听到我一直在唱的歌

当你死去，人们才开始倾听，真是可笑

...

若我早逝，请用绸缎裹我

将我安放在玫瑰花床上

拂晓时，将我沉入河中

用一首情歌送我远去

哦-哦 (哦-哦)

一只鸽子的歌谣

带着平静与爱而去

收集起你的眼泪，把它们放在口袋里

留着当你真正需要它们的时候，哦

短暂人生的锋利刀刃

我已拥有了足够的时间

所以穿上你最好的衣服，我会戴上我的珍珠

...

[英语]

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh-oh, oh-oh

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

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

Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no

Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

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

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

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

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

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

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

What I never did is done

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

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

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

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh-oh (oh-oh)

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time when you're 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
