Dido's Reply Lyrics

And if you find your Illium
And if you find your Troy
I hope you feel the pain I felt
Twice upon your sword + Aeneas on your noble hands
My life shall stain with blood
Let Dido's curse rest in the mind
A shade begot by love

Carthage shall this grudge recall
Upon your seven hills
And nothing less than misery
Will remind you who you killed + And though you will hate I suffer now
The truth is deeper still
For I love you with my dying breath
And I know I always will
Beyond this world into the next
I know I always will...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

And if you find your Illium And if you build your Troy I hope you feel the pain I felt Twice upon your sword + Aeneas on your noble hands My life shall stain with blood Let Dido's curse rest in the mind A shade begot by love

Carthage shall this grudge recall Upon your seven hills And nothing less than misery Will remind you who you killed + And though with hate I suffer now The truth is deeper still For I love you with my dying breath And I know I always will Beyond this world into the next I know I always will...
