Time

歌词：Time - Mikky Ekko

Well, the streets are empty

我们曾嬉戏奔跑的街道

where we used to run,

空无一人 了无生气

and the cars are all on fire

所有的车都着火燃烧

Yeah, we fall like leaves

是啊 我们像是

in the garden of Eden, Eden

伊甸园的落叶般下坠

Now remember

现在还记得

how it felt being in the sun,

在阳光下的感受

when I heard the ancient choir

当我听到古老唱诗班的歌声

And the dead of night

夜深人静时

like an angel singing, singing

像是天使在高歌吟诵

Time doesn't love you anymore

时光不再眷恋你

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

但我还是敲响你的门

Honey we can run forever,

亲爱的 我们可以永远逃离

if forever it's what's install

如果永远是那安排的宿命

Oh, time to take me home

哦 是时候带我回家了

On a tree in the garden

花园里的树上

I carved your name,

我刻下你的名字

an word is spelled desire。

每个字都诉说着欲望

Like an ocean deep

像是辽阔的深海

with the waters even, even

涌动的水流般

And your love pours down

你的爱倾泻而下

like a waterfall,

像是绝妙而又壮观的瀑布

and I can't escape the tide

我无法逃避那翻滚的浪潮

Here's my hand,

给你我的手

baby take it or leave it, leave it

宝贝 抓住它或是离开它

cause time doesn't love you anymore,

因为时光不再眷恋你

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

但我还是敲响你的门

Honey we can run forever,

亲爱的 我们可以永远逃离

if forever it's what's install

如果永远是那安排的宿命

Oh, time to take me home

哦 是时候带我回家了

ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

噢噢噢噢

Now we're too young to recognize

我们还太年轻并不能意识到

Nothing stays the same

没有永恒

Promise I won't be the one to blame!

答应我 我不会是那罪魁祸首

'Cause time doesn't love you anymore,

因为时光不再眷恋你

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

但我还是敲响你的门

Honey we can run forever,

亲爱的 我们可以永远逃离

if forever it's what's install

如果永远是那安排的宿命

Oh, time doesn't love you

时光不会像我爱你般

like I love you!

迷恋你

So take me home

就带我回家吧

ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

噢噢噢噢

Let me hear you say,

让我听到你的声音

let me hear you say

让我听到你的声音

评价：歌词如诗般优美，声音如天使吟诵。当美妙的歌声像瀑布一样落下，忘却所有烦恼，感受黄昏下宁静的怀想。缓慢舒缓的节奏，高潮时又节奏紧凑。

Mourning Doves

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

评价：前奏节奏缓慢，单音伴奏，注定此歌忧伤温柔。犹如冬日清晨的阳光，却又无奈犹如结束前的低声诉说。只是一场哀悼··

Burning Doves

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

评价：前奏清晨的鸟鸣，足以让人心醉沉醉于最美的精致。后面富有节奏感，白百听不厌
