英文歌词
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember from the window
They were watching while we froze
Down below

When the future architecture
By carnival¹ of idiots on show
You better lie low
If you love me, won't you let me know

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the frost became gone
Creased² cut stones and bibles
Are all out to fade their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
There in me and I?

When I'm dead hit the ground
Legs are cold, unfold
And If you love me, won't you let me know

I don't wanna be a soldier
With a captain of some sinking ship
With snow
Far below
So, if you love, me why'd you let me go

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silenced still
So, if you love me won't you let me know
If you love me won't you let me know

冗长晦涩的寒冬时分
屋檐上，飘落下
雪花片片
洁白无瑕
记忆深刻
屋里的人望向窗外
看着我们在屋檐下，挨饿受冻
当狂热份子公开宣扬
建筑着我们的未来
我们应该沉默以对
然而，如果你爱我，你会不会让我知道？
冗长晦涩的寒冬时分
市侩的银行转型成济世教堂
狐狸竟也成了信仰
神父们拿着来福枪
背离圣经教义
十字架仍高高在上
当我倒下
请让我带着光荣死去
让我的信念永世流传
然而，如果你爱我，你会不会让我知道？
我不愿做个绝望的士兵
控制即将沉默的战舰
只能看着，战舰缓缓沉没
然而，如果你爱我，你会不会让我知道？
我带着我的爱来到这紫罗兰山丘
大雪纷飞时，我们曾并肩坐在这里
你总是静静的待在我身边
然而，如果你爱我，你会不会让我知道？
然而，如果你爱我，你会不会让我知道？
