die young

2. if i die young- the band perry

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

Uh oh, uh 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 well
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, 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 holdin' 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 singin'
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

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
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

Pernahkah kamu membayangkan, jika tiba saatnya harus meninggalkan dunia dan seisinya. Bukan karena kamu sudah tua dan digerorgoti penyakit. Bagaimana jika masa muda direnggut oleh Sang pemberi Nyawa sehingga kamu tidak pernah melewati masa tuamu?. Aku beberapa kali tiba-tiba saja dihampiri oleh pikiran itu. Bagaimana kalau harus terbalut kain putih bertali kemudian terbaring habis dimakan belatung?. Itu pasti….. siapa yang tahu kapan?

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 well |Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no |Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

Dalam keadaan seperti apakah kamu saat itu?. Menjadi apakah kamu selama hidupmu?. Apakah sudah berhasil memuaskan dirimu sendiri?. Apakah keberadaanmu cukup berarti sehingga di hari berkabung untukmu akan banyak orang yang datang untuk mendoakanmu?. Sudah melakukan apa dalam hidupmu yang Cuma sekali?. Siapa yang menangisi kepergianmu selain ibumu?

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 holdin' my hand, |There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by

Mukamu yang pucat karena pembuluh darah tak lagi melakukan fungsinya, jantungmu tidak bekerja lagi. apakah muka itu terbalut senyum bahagia? Atau bibir miris tersiksa?. Sekali lagi, sudah memberi apa untuk siapa?. Kepada siapa cinta kau bagi? Kepada dia yang harusnya kau cintai selamanya?. Kalau maut memisahkan apa masih pantas dikatakan selamanya?. Apakah cinta tanpa kenal dimensi benar-benar ada?

The ballad of a dove (oh, uh) |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

Nanti, ketika tiba waktuku. Doakan aku untuk meninggalkan kalian dalam damai. Damai seperti mendengar musik orchestra yang mendayu, mungkin bisa memilukan hati kalian. Doakan aku agar dapat menutup mataku dengan tenang. Setenang gelap malam dimaniskan terang bulan dan kerlip bintang, yang mampu mengistirahatkan kalian. Kirimkan doa yang banyak agar aku selamat.

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time
