中文歌词:
如果死得早,请帮我穿上漂亮的衣服
请让我躺在满是玫瑰的床上
让我在拂晓的河里下沉
并用情歌来为我送行
当我母亲会看到上帝为我做的彩虹时
她就知道我平安如故
生活不总像你想象的那样 不像
甚至是并不灰暗,但是她埋葬了她的宝贝
短暂的生命像尖刀一样
好在我有足够的时间
如果我死得早,请帮我穿上漂亮的衣服
请让我躺在满是玫瑰的床上
让我在拂晓的河里下沉
并用情歌来为我送行
短暂的生活像尖刀一样
好在我有足够的时间
我会穿着美丽的衣服来到你面前
我会像我手上的戒指一样闪亮
我从不知晓我爱的王子
但我知道当他牵着我的手时一定很美好
镇上的一个男孩说他会爱我一辈子
他会陪我一辈子
短暂的生活像尖刀一样
好在我有足够的时间
那就带上你最爱的男孩 我会戴上我的珍珠项链
我完成了我的心愿
我的想法会值一分钱 噢,不 它们值一美元
在我走之后它们会更值钱
也许你以后会听到我唱歌
有趣的是当你死了之后人们才开始聆听
如果我死得早,请帮我穿上漂亮的衣服
让我躺在满是玫瑰的床上
让我在拂晓的河里下沉
并用情歌来为我送行
唱着纯洁的民谣
带上安宁和爱情
收好你的泪水,把它们放在口袋里
留着它们以备以后会需要
短暂的生命像尖刀一样
好在我有足够的时间
那就带上你最爱的男孩 我会戴上我的珍珠项链
