歌曲介紹
Dido 於 2003 年所發佈的歌曲。
這首收錄在白金銷量大碟《Life for Rent》之中的雋永作品，
憑藉細膩的電子民謠質地深得全球樂迷喜愛。
編制上融合了空靈人聲與溫暖吉他微風，
將都會男女防備重重的心理防線精準描繪。
整個項目的核心在於剖析內心主權的退讓，
將過往受創的陰影化作國界防衛。
該張專輯在英美排行寫下驚人的實體神話，
成為千禧年初極具指標性的抒情里程碑。
幕後編創由其兄長協力打磨，
鋪陳出冷冽卻格外撫慰的迷幻氛圍。
歌詞翻譯
[Verse 1]
From behind these walls, I hear your song, oh sweet words
躲在高聳的心防高牆後面，我聽見你哼唱的歌聲，噢，那是多麼甜蜜的字眼
The music that you play lights up my world
你演奏的動人旋律，悄悄點亮了老娘原本晦暗的世界
The sweetest that I've heard
這絕對是我這輩子聽過最悅耳的天籟之音
Could it be that I've been touched and turned? Oh Lord, please
難道我真的被你打動、決定浪子回頭了嗎？老天爺啊，拜託行行好
Finally, finally things are changing
謝天謝地，這一次，老娘冰封已久的日子終於要開始轉運了
[Chorus]
This land is mine but I'll let you rule
這片心靈領土主權是老娘的，但我願意破例讓你在這裡稱王
I'll let you navigate and demand
我願意放手讓你四處巡航、對我發號施令
Just as long as you know, this land is mine
只要你心裡清楚明白，這片寸土疆域終究還是老娘的財產
So find your home and settle in
所以找個舒服的角落，安心在這裡定居留下來吧
Oh, I'm ready to let you in
噢，老娘已經全面解除武裝，準備放你走進我的心坎裡了
Just as long as we know, this land is mine
只要我們兩人都心知肚明，這片領土永遠是老娘說了算
[Verse 2]
After all the battles and the wars, the scars and loss
在歷經了無數次感情的慘烈廝殺、滿身傷痕與慘痛代價之後
Well, I'm still the queen of my domain
哼，老娘依然是這座情感帝國裡高高在上的女王
And feeling stronger now
而且現在我的內心感覺比以往還要更加強大
The walls are down a little more each day, since you came
自從你出現那天起，這座防備的高牆每天都為你崩解塌陷了一點點
Finally, finally things are changing
謝天謝地，這一次，老娘冰封已久的日子終於要開始轉運了

This land is mine but I'll let you rule

只要我們兩人都心知肚明，這片領土永遠是老娘說了算
[Bridge]
Follow the days I've traveled alone
回首那些老娘獨自流浪、孤軍奮戰的荒涼日子
In this cold and colorless place 'til now
直到遇見你之前，我都一直待在這個寒冷又失去色彩的鬼地方
It's what I had to pay
我看這就是我為了追求自由，不得不咬牙吞下去的代價吧
[Chorus]
This land is mine but I'll let you rule
