Almost Like the Blues
Leonard Cohen
Almost Like the Blues 歌詞
I saw some people starving
我目睹飢餓的人群
There was murder, there was rape
充滿謀殺和搶奪
Their villages were burning
他們的村莊被燒毀
They were trying to escape
他們都努力逃離
I couldn't meet their glances
我不敢與他們對視
I was staring at my shoes
只能低頭鑽研我的鞋
It was acid, it was tragic
它如此刻薄如此悲慘
It was almost like the blues
世界如此憂傷
It was almost like the blues
憂傷如同藍調
I have to die a little
我必須嘗試死亡
Between each murderous thought
在致命的情節裡
And when I'm finished thinking
當我停止思考
I have to die a lot
我就會完全死掉
There's torture and there's killing
這裡有折磨有謀殺
And there's all my bad reviews
都是我的負能量
The war, the children missing
戰爭兒童失踪上帝
Lord, it's almost like the blues
世界如此憂傷
It was almost like the blues
憂傷如同藍調
So I let my heart get frozen
讓我的心臟結冰
To keep away the rot
不然它就要腐爛
My father said I'm chosen
我父親說我是上帝的選擇
My mother said I'm not
母親卻說我什麼都不是
I listened to their story
我聽著他們的故事
Of the Gypsies and the Jews
關於吉普賽人和猶太人
It was good, it wasn't boring
故事很好非常有趣
It was almost like the blues
世界如此憂傷
It was almost like the blues
憂傷如同藍調
There is no G-d in Heaven
其實根本沒有上帝
And there is no Hell below
也沒有什麼地獄
So says the great professor
偉大的教授都這麼說
Of all there is to know
這些都應該被大家知道
But I've had the invitation
但是我還是被邀請
That a sinner can't refuse
罪人無法拒絕
And it's almost like salvation
這就像是救贖
It's almost like the blues
世界如此憂傷
It was almost like the blues
憂傷如同藍調
Almost like the blues
如此憂傷
