Violet Hill (Live From BBC 1's Radio Live Lounge)

Was a long and dark December
那是漫长又黑暗的冬月
From the rooftops I remember
我回忆中的屋顶
There was snow
白雪覆盖
White snow
皑皑寒酥
Clearly I remember
我清楚地记得
From the windows they were watching
他们在窗后观望
While we froze
当我们渐渐被寒冷
Down below
吞噬
When the future's architectured
当未来的航向
By a carnival of idiots on show
受制于自大的傻瓜
You'd better lie low
最好口是心非
If you love me
但若你爱我
Won't you let me know?
为何不让我知晓

Was a long and dark December
那是漫长又黑暗的暮冬
From the rooftops I remember
我回忆中的屋顶
There was snow
白雪覆盖
White snow
皑皑寒酥
Clearly I remember
我清楚地记得
From the windows they were watching
他们在窗后观望
While we froze
当我们渐渐被寒冷
Down below
吞噬
When the future's architectured
当未来的定义
By a carnival of idiots on show
来自于狂热的愚者
You'd better lie low
最好说些假话
If you love me
但如果爱我
Won't you let me know?
为何不让我知道

Was a long and dark December
还是漫长又黑暗的寒冬
When the banks became cathedrals
当金钱取代了信仰
And a fox
狡诈之人
Became God
也得正果
Priests clutched onto bibles
信徒抓住救命稻草
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
舍弃一切只求自保
And the cross
而十字架
Was held aloft
依旧高悬
Bury me in armor
让我马革裹尸
When I'm dead and hit the ground
当我为理想而亡
A love back home
灵魂的向往
It unfolds
永不磨灭
If you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know?
为何不让我知道

I don't want to be a soldier
我不想做一个战士
Who the captain of some sinking ship
因为我深知将一去不还
Would stow
只能随他
Far below
走向沉没
So if you love me
所以如果你爱我
Why'd you let me go?
请让我知道

I took my love down to violet hill
我与吾爱来到这紫罗兰丘
There we sat in snow
静静伫于雪中
All that time she was silent still
自始至终她依然缄默
So if you love me
所以如果你爱我
Won't you let me know?
为何不让我知道
If you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know?
请让我知晓
