- Leonard Cohen last years man 歌詞
- Leonard Cohen
雨落在去年的男人身上，
那是一座猶太人的豎琴在桌上，
The rain falls down on last years man,
那是一支彩色的粉筆在他手中。
thats a jews harp on the table,
角落裡的設計圖自從他們捲動就被破壞，
thats a crayon in his hand.
而遙遠的圖釘幹，
And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
依然在木頭上投下陰影。
far past the stems of thumbtacks
天窗像一張我永遠也不會修補的鼓的皮，
that still throw shadows on the wood.
所有的雨落了下來，阿門，
And the skylight is like skin for a drum Ill never mend
落在了去年的男人的作品上。
and all the rain falls down amen
我遇見一位女士，她和她的士兵們在黑暗中玩耍。
on the works of last years man.
哦，她必須一個個告訴他們，
她的名字是聖女貞德。
I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
我曾在那支軍隊中呆過一小段時間，
oh one by one she had to tell them
我想去謝謝你，聖女貞德，
that her name was Joan of Arc.
因為你待我如此好。
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;
儘管我穿著軍服，但是我的存在不是為了戰鬥。
I want to thank you, Joan of Arc,
所有你陪伴的那些受傷的男孩，
for treating me so well.
晚安，我的朋友們，晚安。
And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
我參加了一場古老家族舉辦的婚禮，
all these wounded boys you lie beside,
新郎是Bethlehem，
goodnight, my friends, goodnight.
新娘是Babylon 。
Great Babylon 赤裸著，哦，她站在那兒為我而發著抖，
I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
Bethlehem 因為我和她的行為而怒火中燒，
Bethlehem the bridegroom,
就像一個害羞的人有時也會狂歡。
Babylon the bride.
當我們感覺到彼此的身體像一層面紗，
Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
我必須拉著另一邊去看，
and Bethlehem inflamed us both
就像蛇吃著它自己的尾巴。
like the shy one at some orgy.
一些女人等待耶穌，一些女人等待該隱，
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
所以我來到我的祭壇，
that I had to draw aside to see
並且再次舉起我的斧頭。
the serpent eat its tail.
我帶著找到我的那個人回到一切開始的地方，
那時耶穌還在度蜜月，
Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain
而該隱也只是一個人。
so I hang upon my altar
我們從血液和皮膚組成的有趣的聖經中知道，
and I hoist my axe again.
荒野正在聚集，
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
所有的它的孩子都將再次回歸。
when Jesus was the honeymoon
雨落在去年的男人身上，
and Cain was just the man.
時間已經過去了一個小時，
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
他的手都沒有動一下。
that the wilderness is gathering
但如果他給出任何一個簡單的指示，一切都將發生，
all its children back again.
情人們將湧現，
山脈將接觸大地。
The rain falls down on last years man,
而那天窗像一張我永遠也不會修補的鼓的皮，
an hour has gone by
所有的雨落了下來，阿門，
and he has not moved his hand.
落在了去年的男人的作品上。
But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
the lovers will rise up
and the mountains touch the ground.
But the skylight is like skin for a drum Ill never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last years man.
