歌詞：Time - Mikky Ekko

Well, the streets are empty

我們曾嬉戲奔跑的街道

where we used to run,

空無一人 了無生氣

and the cars are all on fire

所有的車都著火燃燒

Yeah, we fall like leaves

是啊 我們像是

in the garden of Eden, Eden

伊甸園的落葉般下墜

Now remember

現(xiàn)在還記得

how it felt being in the sun,

在陽光下的感受

when I heard the ancient choir

當我聽到古老唱詩班的歌聲

And the dead of night

夜深人靜時

like an angel singing, singing

像是天使在高歌吟誦

Time doesn’t love you anymore

時光不再眷戀你

But I-I-I I’m still knocking at your door

但我還是敲響你的門

Honey we can run forever,

親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離

if forever it’s what’s install

如果永遠是那安排的宿命

Oh, time to take me home

哦 是時候帶我回家了

On a tree in the garden

花園里的樹上

I carved your name,

我刻下你的名字

an word is spelled desire!

每個字都訴說著欲望

Like an ocean deep

像是遼闊的深海

with the waters even, even

涌動的水流般

And your love pours down

你的愛傾瀉而下

like a waterfall,

像是絕妙而又壯觀的瀑布

and I can’t escape the tide

我無法逃避那翻滾的浪潮

Here’s my hand,

給你我的手

baby take it or leave it, leave it

寶貝 抓住它或是離開它

cause time doesn’t love you anymore,

因為時光不再眷戀你

But I-I-I I’m still knocking at your door

但我還是敲響你的門

Honey we can run forever,

親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離

if forever it’s what’s install

如果永遠是那安排的宿命

Oh, time to take me home

哦 是時候帶我回家了

ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

噢噢噢噢

Now we’re too young to recognize

我們還太年輕并不能意識到

Nothing stays the same

沒有永恒

Promise I won’t be the one to blame!

答應我 我不會是那罪魁禍首

’Cause time doesn’t love you anymore,

因為時光不再眷戀你

But I-I-I I’m still knocking at your door

但我還是敲響你的門

Honey we can run forever,

親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離

if forever it’s what’s install

如果永遠是那安排的宿命

Oh, time doesn’t love you

時光不會像我愛你般

like I love you!

迷戀你

So take me home

就帶我回家吧

ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

噢噢噢噢

Let me hear you say,

讓我聽到你的聲音

let me hear you say

讓我聽到你的聲音

評價：歌詞如詩般優(yōu)美，聲音如天使吟誦。當美妙的歌聲像瀑布一樣落下，忘卻所有煩惱，感受黃昏下寧靜的懷想。緩慢舒緩的節(jié)奏，高潮時又節(jié)奏緊湊。

Look at how far we’ve come

Look at this mess we’ve made

I’m still praying that the sun,

tears my body from the shade

Tell me that we’re too far gone

Tell me that we’ll be okay

Swear to God I’d leave right now,

If Heaven wasn’t so far away

But this is not an exercise

And nobody gets out alive

Stop What if I, what if I stop

Mourning doves, meet me in the morning

Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake

Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me

I can be your shoulder,

There’s still room for us to pull over

But we can’t stop,

So in the morning, Love

We can be together like mourning doves

Yeah, realize that no escape,

Releases you from your mistakes

Oh, this is not a warning

But innocence is calling,

And I sense that’s it’s a falling embrace

Because this is not an exercise

And nobody gets out alive

Stop What if I, what if I stop

Mourning doves, meet me in the morning

Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake

Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me

I can be your shoulder,

There’s still room for us to pull over,

But we can’t stop,

So in the morning, love,

We can be together like mourning doves

We can be together like mourning doves

Because we both know,

We’re running out of time

We’re running out of time

Listen Listen Listen Listen

Mourning doves, meet me in the morning

Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake

Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me

I can be your shoulder,

There’s still room for us to pull over,

But we can’t stop,

So in the morning, love

We can be together like mourning doves

We can be together like mourning doves

mourning doves

We can be together like mourning doves

評價：前奏節(jié)奏緩慢，單音伴奏，注定此歌憂傷溫柔。猶如冬日清晨的陽光，卻又無奈猶如結(jié)束前的低聲訴說。只是一場哀悼··

Burning Doves - Mikky Ekko

Behind the velvet rope

We hide in plain sight

We’re dressed in black smoke

and have our hands tight

She says I see you babe,

But we are both blind

Our bodies’ yearning for what

We cannot find

Uh, the end is beginning

And I’m falling

So take it or leave it,

’Cause I’m all in

We’re too young to die today,

To die today

Oh ooh oh oh oh

We’re too broken to fly away,

To fly away

Oh ooh oh oh oh

’Cause we both know better

then to set ourselves on fire,

All in the name of love

We’re too young to be afraid

To fly like burning doves

You’ve been on your knees

Praying for so long, but

When you close your eyes,the words do not come

Uhm, but the end is beginning

And you’re falling

So take it or leave it,

’Cause I’m all in!

We’re too young to die today,

To die today

Oh ooh oh oh oh

We’re too broken to fly away,

To fly away

Oh ooh oh oh oh

’Cause we both know better

then to set ourselves on fire,

All in the name of love

We’re too young to be afraid

To fly like burning doves

Oh if you can show me love,

Yeah like I lift you up

And if you call my name

Heaven I can see again

And I’m sorry I’m sorry for the things we’ve done,

We’re falling we’re falling from a BURNING SUN,

We flew too high looking for love

We knew the skies were not high enough

We’re too young to die today,

To die today

Oh ooh oh oh oh

We’re too broken to fly away,

To fly away

Oh ooh oh oh oh

’Cause we both know better

then to set ourselves on fire,

All in the name of love

We’re too young to be afraid

To fly like burning doves

評價：前奏清晨的鳥鳴，足以讓人心醉沉醉于最美的精致。后面富有節(jié)奏感，白百聽不厭
