一个老男人的诗歌
听到了Leonard Cohen，原来是摇滚乐里的诗人，在音乐里不停的哼唱生命，那朴实无华的曲调深深的吸引了我，来自60年代不曾触摸的声音，一个有着诸多故事的男人，一个用灵魂在歌唱的老男人…
作曲 : Leonard Cohen
作词 : Leonard Cohen
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
苏珊将你带去她河边的小屋
And she lets the river answer

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she’s half crazy

But that’s why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges
她给你喝中国来的茶 吃中国来的桔子
That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to give her

Then she gets you on her wavelength
她却将你揽入怀中
That you’ve always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind
到处游走
And you know that she will trust you For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watchingFrom his lonely wooden tower
会久久凝视他那孤寂的木堡
And when he knew for certain

Only drowning men could see him
只有溺水的人才能看见他
He said ‘All men will be sailors then
他说：若大海还你自由
Until the sea shall free them’
每个人都能成为水手
But he himself was broken
而他自己却在天色打开前早早破碎
Long before the sky would open
被遗弃
Forsaken, almost human .He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
几乎变成了人
And you want to travel with him

Now Suzanne takes your hand

And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour
但太阳却把阳光像蜜一样撒在她身上
And she shows you where to look
她指给你看
Among the garbage and the flowers.There are heroes in the seaweed
杂草和野花丛中
There are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love.And they will lean that way forever
他们都伸展着身躯渴望着爱 永远都会
While Suzanne holds the mirror
