Last Year’s Man歌词完整版
Last Year's Man - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
The rain falls down on last year's man
雨跌落在去年的男人身上
That's a Jew's harp on the table
那是犹太人的竖琴在桌上
That's a crayon in his hand
一支蜡笔在他的手中
And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
那角落的蓝图 自从他们卷动就已荒废
Far past the stems of thumbtacks
那遥远的图钉杆
That still throw shadows on the wood
依然投下阴影在木头上
And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
那天窗像一个 我永远也不会修补的鼓皮
And all the rain falls down amen
所有的雨跌落 阿门
On the works of last year's man
在去年的男人的作品上
I met a lady she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
我遇见一个女士 她和她的士兵们在黑暗中戏耍
Oh one by one she had to tell them
她不得不一个接一个地告诉他们
That her name was Joan of Arc
她的名字是圣女贞德
I was in that army yes I stayed a little while;
我在那支军队中 是的 我呆了一小会
I want to thank you Joan of Arc
想去谢谢你 圣女贞德
For treating me so well
因为你招待我如此之好
And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
虽然我穿着制服 可我天生不是为了战斗
All these wounded boys you lie beside
你躺在所有这些受伤男孩的身边
Goodnight my friends goodnight
我的朋友们 晚安
I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
我遇上一场古老的家族谋划的婚礼
Bethlehem the bridegroom
新郎伯利恒
Babylon the bride
新娘巴比伦
Great Babylon was naked oh she stood there trembling for me
大巴比伦赤裸着 她站立在这为我颤抖
And Bethlehem inflamed us both
而伯利恒因我俩而怒火燃烧
Like the shy one at some orgy
像害羞的人面对纵欲狂欢
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
当我们彼此的肉体 感觉像一层面纱
That I had to draw aside to see
因此我不得不拉到一旁去看
The serpent eat its tail
那蛇吃着自己的尾巴
Some women wait for Jesus and some women wait for Cain
一些女人等待耶稣 一些女人等待该隐
So I hang upon my altar
因此我依靠着我的圣坛
And I voice my acts again
同时我再次提高了我的嗓门
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
我带着那个找到我的人 回归一切开始的地方
When Jesus was the honeymoon
当耶稣在蜜月
And Cain was just the man
而该隐也只是个人
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
我们从由血液和皮肤组成的亲切的圣经中得知
That the wilderness is gathering
那荒野正聚集
All its children back again
所有它的孩子再次回来
The rain falls down on last year's man
雨跌落在去年的男人身上
An hour has gone by
过去了一个小时
And he has not moved his hand
他也没有移开他的手
But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
他也没有移开他的手 如果他只给出一个指令
The lovers will rise up
情人们将涌起
And the mountains touch the ground
山脉将触摸大地
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
那天窗像一个 我永远也不会修补的鼓皮
And all the rain falls down amen
所有的雨跌落 阿门
On the works of last year's man
在去年的男人的身上
