  1. 巴比伦颁布法典

    The King of Babylon decreed the Code of Hammurabi,

  2. 刻在黑色玄武岩 距今已经三千七百多年

    Carved in black basalt, it dates back thirty-seven hundred years.

  3. 你在橱窗 凝视碑文字眼

    You gaze at the inscriptions in the window,

  4. 静静欣赏深爱

    While I quietly admire your beloved face by your side.

  5. 祭司 神殿 征战 弓箭 从前?

    Priests, temples, battles, bows and arrows—whose past is this?

  6. 喜欢人潮属于我的画面

    I love that scene in the crowd where you belong only to me.

  7. 经过美女身边 女神许愿

    Passing by the goddess of love, I made a wish in her name.

  8. 思念里斯蔓延

    Longing spreads like the Tigris River,

  9. 文明只剩下难解语言

    As ancient civilizations leave behind only cryptic tongues.

  10. 传说成了永垂不朽诗篇

    Legends become immortal poems in time.

  11. 你的写在西元前

    The love I give you is written in ancient times,

  12. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried on the plains of Mesopotamia.

  13. 几十个世纪出土发现

    Centuries later, it's unearthed and found,

  14. 泥板依然清晰可见

    The script on the clay is still clear and profound.

  15. 你的写在西元前

    The love I give you is written in ancient times,

  16. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried on the plains of Mesopotamia.

  17. 楔形文字刻下永远

    Carved in cuneiform, marked for eternity,

  18. 千年誓言 一切重演

    That vow, weathered for a thousand years, plays again.

  19. 祭司 神殿 征战 弓箭 从前?

    Priests, temples, battles, and arrows—whose past remains?

  20. 喜欢人潮属于我的画面

    I love the scene where, in the crowd, you belong to me.

  21. 经过美女身边 女神许愿

    Passing by the goddess of beauty, I wish upon her name,

  22. 思念里斯蔓延

    Longing spreads like the Tigris River,

  23. 文明只剩下难解语言

    When ancient civilizations leave only cryptic tongues,

  24. 传说成了永垂不朽诗篇

    Legends become immortal verses,

  25. 你的写在西元前

    The love I gave you is inscribed before our era,

  26. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried in the plains of Mesopotamia,

  27. 几十个世纪出土发现

    Centuries later, unearthed to be found,

  28. 泥板依然清晰可见

    The words on the clay tablet still clear and profound,

  29. 你的写在西元前

    The love I gave you is inscribed before our era,

  30. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried in the plains of Mesopotamia.

  31. 楔形文字刻下永远

    Carved in cuneiform, an eternal tale,

  32. 千年誓言 一切重演

    That weathered vow, thousand years unveiled,

  33. 感到疲倦 家乡还是

    I feel so weary, home is far away,

  34. 害怕再也不能回到身边

    Fearing I may never return to your embrace,

  35. 你的写在西元前

    The love I gave you was written in the past,

  36. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried in the Mesopotamian plains,

  37. 几十个世纪出土发现

    Centuries later, discovered and displayed,

  38. 泥板依然清晰可见

    The inscriptions on the clay still clear as day,

  39. 你的写在西元前

    The love I gave you was written in the past,

  40. 深埋在平原

    Deep buried in the Mesopotamian plains.

  41. 楔形文字刻下永远

    Chiseled forever in cuneiform script

  42. 千年誓言 一切重演

    That promise weathered by a thousand years, all repeats again

  43. 爱在西元前 爱在西元前

    Love before the era, love before the era
