First We Take Manhattan (Live in London)
Leonard Cohen
First We Take Manhattan (Live in London) 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,then we take Berlin
首先我們征服了曼哈頓,然後我們征服了柏林
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
來自上天的旨意指引著我
I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin
我身上的胎記指引著我
I 'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
那迷人的武器指引我勇往直前
First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
首先我們征服了曼哈頓,然後我們征服了柏林
I' d really like to live beside you,baby
我真的想生活在你身邊,寶貝
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
我愛你的身體、你的心靈和你的衣裳
But you see that line that's moving through the station?
但是你看到那穿過站台徐徐移動的隊伍了嗎?
I told you,I told you,I told you,I was one of those
我說過,我說過,我說過,我不過是其中一員
Ah you loved me as a loser,but now you're worried that I just might win
你愛我雖然我是一個失敗者,但似乎你更擔心我勝利
You know the way to stop me,but you don't have the discipline
你知道阻止我的方法,但愛使你沒有自律
How many nights I prayed for this,to let my work begin
多少個夜晚我祈求上帝讓我的任務開始
First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
首先我們征服了曼哈頓,然後我們征服了柏林
I don't like your fashion business mister
我不喜歡你的時尚先生
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
我也不喜歡讓你保持消瘦的藥物
I don't like what happened to my sister
我不喜歡我的姐妹遭遇的事
First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin
首先我們征服了曼哈頓,然後我們征服了柏林
Then we take Berlin,then we take Berlin
然後我們征服了柏林,然後我們攻克了柏林
