最近爱上了这首英文歌《If I die young》，安利给大家：
若我英年早逝，请将我葬在绸缎中
Lay me down on a bed of roses
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
Sink me in the river at dawn
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
Send me away with the words of a love song
用情歌中的词句为我送行
oh oh oh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
主啊，请让我化作彩虹，我想要照耀我的母亲
She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
当她站在我的七彩之下，她便会知道我和您在一起如此平安
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
生活并不总像你所预料的那样
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
总是那样灰暗，尽管她埋葬了她的孩子
The sharp knife of a short life, well
须臾生命的尖锐刀锋啊
