Death Of A Ladies' Man
Leonard Cohen
Death Of A Ladies' Man 歌詞
Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread
啊,她一生追求的男人奄奄一息
'I never even knew how much I wanted you,' she said
她說,我從未意識到我如此需要你
His muscles, they were numbered, and his style was obsolete
他的力氣快要耗盡,他的服式已過時
'Oh baby, I have come too late. ' “
哦,親愛的,我來得太晚了”
She knelt beside his feet
她跪在他腳邊
'I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come “
以後我遇到的男人不會再有像你這樣的
I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or love.'
我也不會再在摔跤比賽中見到這般寬厚的臂膀我也不會再愛了“
And all his virtues burning in the smokey holocaust
他所有的美好品質都在這煙霧瀰漫的大屠殺中燒盡(這里個人認為男人的煙癮弄垮了他身體)
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost
她傾盡所有嫁給他可她的愛人走了
Now the master of this landscape, he was standing at the view
一個目睹了這些的法師闖入女人視線
With a sparrow of st. francis that he was preaching to
一隻來自聖方濟各的麻雀曾聽他佈道跟隨著他
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood
她吸引他衝破崇高宗教信仰的防線
She said, 'I'll make a place between my legs, I'll teach you solitude.'
她說,“我要騰開我的雙腿,我要教會你孤獨”
He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room
他獻予她縱情歡愛在佈滿鏡子的房間
He promised her protection for the issue of her womb
他承諾將保護他們的孩子
She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon
她用力擺動身體撞擊著“一把尖銳的金勺”
She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon
她結束了通往月亮的血腥儀式
She took his much admired oriental frame of mind
她掠走了他甚為推崇的東方思想
And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind
用人性本惡的托詞捲走了他的錢財
She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine
她取走了他金色的聖母像和聖酒
'This mental space is occupied and everything is mine. “
我將你的心佔滿,你的一切都屬於我”
He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track
他站在鐵路軌道邊試圖做最後的挽留
She said, 'The art of longing's over and it's never coming back.'
她說,“慾望的藝術收筆,永不復回”
She took his tavern parliament, his cap, his cocky dance
她帶走了他議會酒館的門票,全部錢財,他不會再跳那狂妄自大的舞步(議會酒館坐落於西雅圖,是個音樂酒吧,常有演出,歌詞是否指此處我沒有查到)
She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache
她哂笑他女人腔的打扮和工人階級的小鬍子
The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get
我最後一次看見他
A woman's education, but he's not a woman yet
他正努力學著變成一個女人,儘管他還不是(查到一個分析說他改變了自己的性認同)
And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy
我最後一次看見她她和某個男孩住在一起
Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy
那男孩讓她的靈魂有家可歸讓她享有肉體之歡
So the great affair is over, but whoever would have guessed
那麼這場轟轟烈烈的風流韻事結束了,但誰又能想到
It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed
它了無於痕,只留下空寂
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
就像人類曾探訪月球和那些恆星一樣
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
我想,當你用力過猛,最終只會一無所獲
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
就像人類曾探訪月球和那些恆星一樣
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
我想,當你用力過猛,最終只會一無所獲
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
就像人類曾探訪月球和那些恆星一樣
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
我想,當你用力過猛,最終只會一無所獲
