你说要我死了这颗心
You say you want this heart of mine to die,
最好永远存放在埃及
It’s best kept forever in Egypt,
像木乃伊保持著神秘
Like a mummy, shrouded in mystery.
敲也敲不破 连时间都忘记
No matter how hard you knock, it won’t break, even time forgets.
你一直唠叨著所谓真理
You keep rambling on about your so-called truth,
剖开了心就看到我不是她的记忆
Slice open the heart, and you’ll see I’m not just her memory.
要我节哀 虽然她不该
You want me to mourn, though she didn’t deserve it.
如果看不开 我怎么活过来 爱
If I can’t let go, how could I ever survive, love?
木乃伊的心在烧
The mummy's heart is burning,
金字塔里闷到老
Stuck in the pyramid, aging in silence.
也许我自己太在意被抛弃
Perhaps I care too much about being abandoned.
无法忍受黑暗的沉默孤寂
Unable to bear the dark silence and loneliness.
木乃伊的心在跳
The mummy's heart is still beating.
抱著希望慢慢熬
Holding on to hope as I slowly endure.
我鼓起最后的一分力撑下去
I muster my last ounce of strength to carry on.
相信真爱就在我醒来的新世纪
Believing true love awaits in my new dawn.
你说要我死了这颗心
You say this heart of mine should die.
最好永远存放在埃及
Better stored forever in Egypt's sky.
像木乃伊保持著神秘
Like a mummy, shrouded in mystery.
敲也敲不破 连时间都忘记
No knock can break it, not even time's memory.
你一直唠叨著所谓真理
You keep babbling about the so-called truth.
剖开了心就看到我不是她的记忆
Cut open the heart and you'll see I'm not her memory.
要我节哀 虽然她不该
You want me to grieve, even though she shouldn't have to.
如果看不开 我怎么活过来 爱
If I can't let go, how can I survive love?
木乃伊的心在烧
The mummy's heart is burning.
金字塔里闷到老
Stuck aging in the pyramid.
也许我自己太在意被抛弃
Maybe I care too much about being abandoned.
无法忍受黑暗的沉默孤寂
Unable to bear the dark silence and loneliness.
木乃伊的心在跳
The mummy's heart is beating.
抱著希望慢慢熬
Holding onto hope while slowly enduring.
我鼓起最后的一分力撑下去
I've gathered the last bit of strength to hold on.
相信真爱就在我醒来的新世纪 (ooh-ooh-ho)
I believe true love awaits in this new century when I wake up (ooh-ooh-ho).
木乃伊的心在烧 (oh, oh-ho-hoo-yeah)
The mummy's heart is on fire (oh, oh-ho-hoo-yeah).
金字塔里闷到老 (oh-yeah-yeah)
Stuck in the pyramid, growing old (oh-yeah-yeah).
也许我自己太在意被抛弃
Maybe I care too much about being abandoned.
无法忍受黑暗的沉默孤寂
I can't bear the dark, heavy silence of loneliness.
木乃伊的心在跳 (ho-oh-yeah)
The mummy's heart is beating (ho-oh-yeah).
抱著希望慢慢熬 (ho-no-no)
Embracing hope, slowly enduring (ho-no-no).
我鼓起最后的一分力撑下去
I've gathered the last bit of strength to hold on.
相信真爱 就在我醒来的新世纪
I believe true love awaits in this new century when I wake up.
