Violet Hill

Was a long and dark December

那个黑暗而漫长的十二月

From the rooftops I remember

我记起了那时屋顶上

There was snow

覆盖着雪

White snow

纯净的白雪

Clearly I remember

我清楚的记得

From the windows they were watching

他们从窗口张望

While we froze

而我们冷得快被冰冻

Down below

却只能在暗处躲藏

When the future's architectured

当庄严的未来规划

By a carnival of idiots on show

变成一群白痴的狂欢表演

You'd better lie low

你最好保持谦卑不发一言

If you love me

如果你爱我

Won't you let me know

为什么不让我知道呢

Was a long and dark December

那个黑暗而漫长的十二月

When the banks became cathedrals

那时河岸上建起了教堂

And the fog

弥漫着大雾

Became God

虚无缥缈

Priests clutched onto bibles

牧师们死死抱住圣经不放

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

为他们的战争寻找一个理由

And the cross was held aloft

而那十字架却束之高阁

Bury me in honor

被人遗忘

When I'm dead and hit the ground

当我死去倒地的时候

A love back home unfolds

请在荣耀中把我埋葬

If you love me

如果你爱我

Won't you let me know

为什么不让我知道呢

I don't want to be a soldier

我不想成为战争的工具

Who the captain of some sinking ship

跟随领袖走向灭亡

Would stow far below

被雪冰封,无人知晓

So if you love me

如果你爱我

Why'd you let me go

为何让我离开

I took my love down to Violet Hill

我带着我的爱人去紫罗兰山

There we sat in snow

那儿我们坐在雪中

All that time she was silent still

她一直平和而沉默

So if you love me

如果你爱我

Won't you let me know

为什么不让我知道呢

If you love me

如果你爱我

Won't you let me know

为什么不让我知道呢
