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

Was a long and dark December
那是漫長又黑暗的冬月
From the rooftops I remember
我回憶中的屋頂
There was snow
白雪覆蓋
White snow
皚皚寒酥
Clearly I remember
我清楚地記得
From the windows they were watching
他們在窗後觀望
While we froze
當我們漸漸被寒冷
Down below
吞噬
When the futures architectured
當未來的航向
By a carnival of idiots on show
受制於自大的傻瓜
Youd better lie low
最好口是心非
If you love me
但若你愛我
Wont you let me know?
為何不讓我知曉

Was a long and dark December
那是漫長又黑暗的暮冬
From the rooftops I remember
我回憶中的屋頂
There was snow
白雪覆蓋
White snow
皚皚寒酥
Clearly I remember
我清楚地記得
From the windows they were watching
他們在窗後觀望
While we froze
當我們漸漸被寒冷
Down below
吞噬
When the futures architectured
當未來的定義
By a carnival of idiots on show
來自於狂熱的愚者
Youd better lie low
最好說些假話
If you love me
但如果愛我
Wont you let me know?
為何不讓我知道

Was a long and dark December
還是漫長又黑暗的寒冬
When the banks became cathedrals
當金錢取代了信仰
And a fox
狡詐之人
Became God
也得正果
Priests clutched onto bibles
信徒抓住救命稻草
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
捨棄一切只求自保
And the cross
而十字架
Was held aloft
依舊高懸
Bury me in armor
讓我馬革裹屍
When Im dead and hit the ground
當我為理想而亡
A love back home
靈魂的嚮往
It unfolds
永不磨滅
If you love me
如果你愛我
Wont you let me know?
為何不讓我知道

I dont want to be a soldier
我不想做一個戰士
Who the captain of some sinking ship
因為我深知將一去不還
Would stow
只能隨他
Far below
走向沉沒
So if you love me
所以如果你愛我
Whyd you let me go?
請讓我知道

I took my love down to violet hill
我與吾愛來到這紫羅蘭丘
There we sat in snow
靜靜佇於雪中
All that time she was silent still
自始至終她依然緘默
So if you love me
所以如果你愛我
Wont you let me know?
為何不讓我知道
If you love me
如果你愛我
Wont you let me know?
請讓我知曉
