Paroles et traduction 周杰倫 - 愛在西元前

愛在西元前

古巴比倫王頒布了漢摩拉比法典
刻在黑色的玄武岩
距今已經三千七百多年
妳在櫥窗前 凝視碑文的字眼
我卻在旁靜靜欣賞妳那張我深愛的臉
祭司 神殿 征戰 弓箭 是誰的從前
喜歡在人潮中妳只屬於我的那畫面
經過蘇美女神身邊 我以女神之名許願
思念像底格里斯河般的蔓延
當古文明只剩下難解的語言
傳說就成了永垂不朽的詩篇
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原
幾十個世紀後出土發現
泥板上的字跡依然清晰可見
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原
用楔形文字刻下了永遠
那已風化千年的誓言
一切又重演
祭司 神殿 征戰 弓箭 是誰的從前

思念像底格里斯河般的蔓延

傳說就成了永垂不朽的詩篇
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原

泥板上的字跡依然清晰可見
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原
用楔形文字刻下了永遠
那已風化千年的誓言
一切又重演
我感到很疲倦離家鄉還是很遠
害怕再也不能回到你身邊
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原
幾十個世紀後出土發現
泥板上的字跡依然清晰可見
我給妳的愛寫在西元前
深埋在美索不達米亞平原
用楔形文字刻下了永遠
那已風化千年的誓言
一切又重演
愛在西元前 愛在西元前

A.D. Before The Common Era

The Babylonian Genesis was a law code written by Hammurabi
Written on black Diorite.
3700 years later,
You're looking at it tenderly
And I admire your face beside me
Priests, temples, wars, arrows; whose past is this?
I like the way you are next to me among these crowds
When I go past the goddess Inanna, I wish in her name
The extension of my love is like the Tigris River
When ancient civilizations wither into extinct languages
The legends turn into ever-lasting epic poems
My love is written in prehistory
Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
To be excavated several centuries later
And the texts on the clay tablets are still clear
My love is written in prehistory
Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
Forever written in cuneiform
And the vows weathered by thousands of years
Are now reenacted

Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
To be excavated several centuries later
And the texts on the clay tablets are still clear
My love is written in prehistory
Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
Forever written in cuneiform
And the vows weathered by thousands of years
Are now reenacted
I feel tired and I am still far from home,
I fear that I can't go back to you
My love is written in prehistory
Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
To be excavated several centuries later
And the texts on the clay tablets are still clear
My love is written in prehistory
Buried in the plains of Mesopotamia
Forever written in cuneiform
And the vows weathered by thousands of years
Are now reenacted
