First We Take Manhattan
Leonard Cohen
First We Take Manhattan 歌詞
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
他們宣判給我二十年的百無聊賴
For trying to change the system from within
因為我企圖從內部改變這體系
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
現在我來了,要讓他們嚐嚐我的厲害
First we take Manhattan
首先我們征服了曼哈頓
then we take Berlin
然後我們征服了柏林
來自上天的旨意指引著我
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
我身上的胎記指引著我
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
那迷人的武器指引我勇往直前
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
首先我們征服了曼哈頓
First we take Manhattan
然後我們征服了柏林
then we take Berlin
我真的想生活在你身邊,寶貝
我愛你的身體、你的心靈和你的衣裳
[01:50.19]I'd really like to live beside you, baby
但是你看到那穿過站台徐徐移動的隊伍了嗎?
[01:56.76]I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
我說過,我說過,我說過,我不過是其中一員
[02:05.27]But you see that line there moving through the station
我不喜歡你的時尚先生
[02:13.23]I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
我也不喜歡讓你保持消瘦的藥物
[02:24.67]
我不喜歡我的姐妹遭遇的事
I don't like your fashion business, mister
首先我們征服了曼哈頓
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
然後我們征服了柏林
I don't like what happened to your sister
我真的想生活在你身邊,寶貝
First we take Manhattan
我愛你的身體、你的心靈和你的衣裳
then we take Berlin
但是你看到那穿過站台徐徐移動的隊伍了嗎?
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
我說過,我說過,我說過,我不過是其中一員
The monkey and the plywood violin
我要感謝你送給我的那些物品
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
猴子和膠合板的小提琴
First we take Manhattan
我每晚都練習,現在我準備好了
then we take Berlin
首先我們征服了曼哈頓
然後我們征服了柏林
I am guided
我被指引著
Ah remember me
請記住我
I used to live for music
我曾慣於為音樂而活
Remember me
請記住我
I brought your groceries in
我帶來了你的必須之物
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
現在是父親節,而每個人都受了傷害
First we take Manhattan
首先我們征服了曼哈頓
then we take Berlin
然後我們征服了柏林
