If a city
If a city
If a city is set upon a hill
Under the flight of birds
Over on the Downs
Are the flights of birdsong
If under the Golden Calf
Dozing buried under
Under the grass and moss
In the sweet shadow of that hill
If the middle of the well is a wing of glod
Down the passed path
Ang long along the way
Is a city
And if that city holds a man
And in that man
Is a city on the heights of all the planets
That have uprised
And upset the stars
And in that woman
Who circles that city
Her musk trace sliver
Under her feet
If the city street is silent
And mute dogs surround
The woman who circles the city
In the field she lies
And over her bed
Shakes beyond the daisies
Of the city wall
Beyond past the flowers
That flow like queens
Into the city set upon a height
The pitchforks by home
In the throat of the corn
His eyes; the colours
Of clouds at nights
If before the sunflowers
Drowned by those suns
If by those flowers
The city is unwell
I am still there
Inside you like a city
And if the city gate is shut
In the day and not the night
If the peacock is banished
And burns with a song
If under God's wing
By the jawbone and hee-haw
The donkey creeps silently
Through the door in the hall
Then plague and mice
And the woodlice stream
If A City... - Leung Gigi (梁詠琪)

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
以城市為隱喻，探討存在、掙扎與人性在宏大與微小之間的關係。
主題
人類文明的矛盾性與脆弱性，以及個體在社會結構中的掙扎與存在感。
情緒
孤寂、沉思、帶有神祕與哲思的憂鬱感。
意象與手法
運用「城市」作為核心隱喻，結合自然元素（飛鳥、草地、星塵）與宗教符碼（金牛犊、上帝之翼），營造出超現實的詩意空間。透過重複句式與碎片化敘事，強化存在主義式的虛無與探問。
重點句解讀
1. 「Are the flights of birdsong」
原文短句暗示自然聲響與城市景觀的交錯，隱喻人類文明與自然的對立與依存關係。
2. 「If the middle of the well is a wing of gold」
以「井中之翼」象徵被壓抑的希望或轉變的契機，金黃色調帶出救贖與破滅的雙重可能。
3. 「In that woman / Who circles that city / Her musk trace sliver」
女性形象象徵城市中隱藏的原始力量，「麝香痕跡」暗示存在於文明邊緣的原始欲望與生命力。
4. 「I am still there / Inside you like a city」
將「城市」具象為內在精神空間，表達存在感的滲透與不可消滅的連結。
適合情境
獨處沉思、面對城市壓力時的自我對話，或探索存在意義的詩意時刻。
