Leonard Cohen《Famous Blue Raincoat》

leonard cohen)

It's four in the morning
The end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

现在是清晨四点
十二月已然尾声
此刻我写这封信只想知道你过的好不好

New York is cold
But I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

纽约很冷
但我很喜欢这地方
因为音乐彻夜在柯灵顿大街回响

I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert
Are you living for nothing now
Hope you're keeping some kind of record

我听说你将生活深深掩埋
难道你现在真的一无所求了吗
多么希望你至少能留住一些值得眷恋的东西

Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
The night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear

珍回来了，带着一绺你的头发
她说那是你送给她的
就在你决定分手的那一天深夜
而你真的能把所有的记忆清洗吗

The last time we saw you
You looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station
To meet every train
But she never turned up. I mean Lili Mariene

上次我们见你的时候
你看起来苍老了许多
你那件著名的蓝色雨衣连肩头都磨破了
过去，你总爱到车站
去等待每一班火车
但是你心中的那位莉莉.玛莲却始终没有出现

So you treated some woman to a flake of your life
And when she got home she was nobody's wife
I see you there with a rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards

所以你分享给其它女人的，只是你生命中的小小碎片
而当她回家后，就不再是属于任何人的妻子
你是个窃取爱情的吉普赛小偷
嘴角间却啜着美丽玫瑰
噢，珍现在还醒着
她要我代她向你问好

What can I tell you
What can I tell you
What can I possibly say

我能说什么呢
我还能说什么呢
或者，我说的出口吗

I guess that I miss you
I guess I forgive you
I'm glad that you stood in my way

我想我还是想念你的
我想我已经原谅了你
很高兴你曾经走入我的生命

And if you ever come by here
Be it for Jane or for me
I want you to know your enemy is sleeping
I want you to know your woman is free

而如果有一天，当你经过我这里
不论为珍亦或为我
我要让你知道，我的敌意已然沉睡
而那个曾经属于你的女人，已然重获自由

Thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good
So I never really tired

谢谢你带走她眼中的忧郁
我原先以为那些悲伤永远都不会消失
所以我并不曾真的尝试

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
The night when you planned to go clear

然而最后珍回来了，带着一绺你的头发
她说那是你送给她的
就在你决定分手的那一天
