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 colours, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it oughta 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…
If I Die Young
The Band Perry
Si muero joven, entiérrame en satén.
If I die young bury me in satin

Acuéstate en un lecho de rosas

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Hundirme en el rio al amanecer

Sink me in the river at dawn

Envíame lejos con las palabras de una canción de amor.

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh uh oh
Uh oh uh oh
Señor, hazme un arco iris, brillaré sobre mi madre.
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

Ella sabrá que estoy a salvo contigo cuando

She'll know I'm safe with you when

Ella está bajo mis colores, oh y

She stands under my colours, oh and

La vida no siempre es lo que crees que debería ser, no

Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no

Ni siquiera es gris, pero ella entierra a su bebé.

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

El cuchillo afilado de una corta vida,

The sharp knife of a short life,

Bueno, he tenido suficiente tiempo

Well, I've had just enough time

Send me away with the words of a love song
El cuchillo afilado de una corta vida,
The sharp knife of a short life,

Bueno, ya he tenido suficiente tiempo

Well I've had just enough time
Y me pondré blanco cuando entre en tu reino.
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

Soy tan verde como el anillo en mi dedo meñique

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

Nunca he conocido el amor de un hombre

I've never known the lovin' of a man

Pero
But…
