[Verse 1]
I had hoped you'd find your way to this piece of music
And that would mean, oh my friend, we have made it to the end
I hope inside this you've found something beautiful
She had hoped you'd make it to the seventeenth song
And if to dance or then to cry or to just sing along
We hope inside this you've found something beautiful
My complete gratitude for taking time out of your day
To hear the melodies and words we have to play and to say
[Interlude]
And I wanted to finish this album like this
With a musical hug and an orchestral kiss
[Verse 2]
H-A-P-P-I-E-R T-I-M-E-S (Happier times)
I wish you the best
Only joy in this life that we tread
And now I'd like to leave you with an unapologetically
Dramatic and powerful, this last metaphorical summary
For it's life's guarantee that we're all going to die
Come rain or come storms, we've got one little life
The sun has promised to shine
All four beautiful seasons, even if we can't see it
Hope must always exist, is just above the clouds
To conclude there, and so it goes
And as it says on the tin, in the winds, This May Contain Hope12
If you didn't find it, then might I advise it
I'm asking polite that if hope didn't find you, my friend
We advise you to listen again
[Interlude]
Thank you for listening
Until next time, lots of love, RAYE

[第1节]
我曾希望你能听到这首曲子
那将意味着,哦我的朋友,我们已经走到了最后
我希望你在这里面发现了一些美好的东西
她曾希望你能听到第十七首歌
无论是随之起舞,还是因之哭泣,亦或只是跟着唱
我们希望你在这里面发现了一些美好的东西
由衷感谢你从百忙之中抽空
来聆听我们要演奏和讲述的旋律与词句
[插曲]
我想像这样结束这张专辑
用音乐的拥抱和管弦乐的吻
[第2节]
H-A-P-P-I-E-R T-I-M-E-S(更快乐的时光)
我祝你一切顺利
在我们踏过的这段人生中只有喜悦
现在我想留给你一段不加掩饰的
充满戏剧性且强有力的,最后的隐喻式总结
因为生命的保证是我们都会死去
无论风雨还是风暴,我们只有一段渺小的人生
太阳承诺过会闪耀
所有四个美丽的季节,即使我们看不见它
希望必须永远存在,就在云端之上
就以此结尾吧,就是这样
正如它表面所说,在风中,这可能包含希望
如果你还没找到,那么我可以建议你
我很礼貌地请求,如果希望没有找到你,我的朋友
我们建议你再听一遍
[插曲]
感谢聆听
直到下次,满满的爱,RAYE
