莱昂纳德·科恩：最会写情话的诗人

等待奇迹到来

宝贝，我一直在等待

我一直在等待，没日没夜

我没有留意时间

我把我的半生都等掉了

有过许多邀请

我知道有些来自于你

但那时我在等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

我知道你真的爱我

但是你看，我的手被束住了

我知道一定伤害到你了

一定伤害到了你的自尊

拿着你的军号和鼓站在我的窗下

而我却在上面等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

我不相信你会喜欢

在这儿你是不会喜欢的

这儿没有娱乐表演

而有着苛刻的鉴赏力

音乐大师说那是莫扎特

但它听起来像是泡泡糖

当你在等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

等待奇迹

除此之外什么也做不了

我从没这般快乐

自从二次世界大战结束以来

什么也做不了

当你知道你已被等待占满

什么也做不了

当你在乞讨一片面包屑

什么也做不了

当你得继续等待

等待奇迹到来

我梦到你了，宝贝

就是前两天的夜里

你大部分是裸着的

但有一些是明亮的

时间的砂粒正从你的手指间滑落

而你在等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

宝贝，我们结婚吧

我们孤独了太久

就让我们一起孤独

来看看我们是否真的有那么坚韧

让我们做件疯狂的事

绝对错误的事

当我们在等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

什么也做不了

当你知道你已被等待占满

什么也做不了

当你在乞讨一片面包屑

什么也做不了

当你得继续等待

等待奇迹到来

当你倒落在公路上

你正躺在雨中

他们问你究竟在干什么

当然你会说你不能抱怨

如果非要从你这压榨出一些信息

在你什么也不想说的时候：

你就说你在那儿等待

等待奇迹，等待奇迹到来

Waiting For The Miracle

Baby, I've been waiting

I've been waiting night and day

I didn't see the time

I waited half my life away

There were lots of invitations

And I know you sent me some

But I was waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

I know you really loved me

But, you see, my hands were tied

I know it must have hurt you

It must have hurt your pride

to have to stand beneath my window

with your bugle and your drum

And me I'm up there waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah I don't believe you'd like it

You wouldn't like it here

There ain't no entertainment

And the judgements are severe

The Maestro says it's Mozart

But it sounds like bubble gum

when you're waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Waiting for the miracle

There's nothing left to do

I haven't been this happy

since the end of World War II

Nothing left to do

when you know that you've been taken

Nothing left to do

when you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

when you've got to go on waiting

waiting for the miracle to come

I dreamed about you, baby

It was just the other night

Most of you was naked

Ah but some of you was light

The sands of time were falling

from your fingers and your thumb

And you were waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married

we've been alone too long

Let's be alone together

Let's see if we're that strong

Yeah let's do something crazy,

something absolutely wrong

while we're waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Nothing left to do

when you know that you've been taken

Nothing left to do

when you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

when you've got to go on waiting,

waiting for the miracle to come

When you've fallen on the highway

and you're lying in the rain,

and they ask you how you're doing

of course you'll say you can't complain

If you're squeezed for information,

that's when you've got to play it dumb:

You just say you're out there waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

和我共舞，直到爱的尽头

在火热的小提琴伴奏下，和我共舞

　　和我跳舞，在舞步中穿越恐惧，积聚平安

　　把我像橄榄枝一样举起，让我成为回家的鸽子

　　和我共舞，直到爱的尽头

　　当旁人远离，让我独自欣赏你的美丽

　　让我感受你的颤动，就像在巴比伦

　　慢慢向我展示所谓的“底线”是什么

　　现在让我们步入婚礼的殿堂，不停的跳舞

　　充满渴望，缠绕温情，与我共舞

　　我们沉浸在爱情中，超越了肉体

　　和我共舞，直到爱的尽头

　　和我共舞，为了祈求生命的孩子

　　让我们跳舞，我们的吻将永生

　　支起帐篷，虽然它已经破旧不堪

　　和我共舞，直到爱的尽头

　　在火热的小提琴伴奏下，和我共舞

　　和我跳舞，在舞步中穿越穿恐惧，积聚平安

　　抚摸我，现在就抚摸我

　　和我共舞，直到爱的尽头。

Dance Me To The End Of Love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic 'tilI'm gathered safely in

Liftme like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone

Letme feel you moving like they do in Babylon

Showme slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on

Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long

We'reboth of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born

Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn

Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

渴望之书

北岛译

我进不了深山

那系统不灵

我依赖药片

还得感谢上天

我沿那路程

从混乱到艺术

欲望为马

抑郁为车

我像天鹅航行

我像石头下沉

而时光远去

不理我的笑柄

我的纸太白

我的墨太淡

白昼不肯写下

夜用铅笔涂鸦

我的动物嚎叫

我的天使不安

却不许我

有丝毫悔怨

而有人将会

强我所难

我的心属于她

处之淡然

她将踏上小路

知我所言

我的意志切成两半

在自由之间

转瞬片刻

我们生命会相撞

那无尽的停摆

那敞开的门

而她将为你

这样的人诞生

敢为人先

继续向前

我知道她正到来

我知道她将顾盼

就是那渴望

就是这书

选自莱昂纳德•科恩（Leonard Cohen）的诗画集

《渴望之书》（Book of Longing）

【英文版】

Book Of Longing

I can't make the hills

The system is shot

I'm living on pills

For which I thank God

I followed thecourse

From chaos to art

Desire the horse

Depression the cart

I sailed like a swan

I sank like a rock

But time is long gone

Past my laughing stock

My page was toowhite

My ink was too thin

The day wouldn't write

What the night pencilled in

My animal howls

My angel's upset

But I'm not allowed

A trace of regret

For someone will use

What I couldn't be

My heart will be hers

Impersonally

She'll step on theparth

She'll see what I mean

My will cut in half

And freedom between

For less than asecond

Our lives will collide

The endless suspended

The door open wide

Then she will be born

To someone like you

What no one has done

She'll continue to be

I know she is coming

I know she will look

And that is the longing

And this is the book

慢

孔亚雷译

我放慢音调

我从不贪快

你欲速则达

我最后才到

这不是因为我老

那生活我不想要

我一向都慢

我妈老那么讲

我系紧鞋带

但我并不想跑

反正迟早会到

发令枪没必要

这不是因为我老

也不是死亡预告

我一向都慢

已经无可救药

我一向都慢

我从不贪快

你迫不及待

我流连忘返

这不是因为我老

也不是我快死了

我一向都慢

我妈老那么讲

你的动作那么灵敏

你的转折那么坚硬

让我喘口儿气

既然长夜漫漫

我喜欢不慌不忙

我喜欢荒废时光

在你唇上一个周末

在你眼里一辈子

我放慢音调

我从不贪快

你欲速则达

我最后才到

所以宝贝儿，

别管我了

他们在城里等你

假如他们问起

我只是想慢而又慢

Slow

I'm slowing down the tune

I've never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I wanna get there last

It's not because I'm old

It's not the life I led

I always liked it slow

That's what my mamma said

I'm lacing up my shoes

But I don't want to run

I'll get there when i do

Don't need no starting gun

It's not because i'm old

And it's not what dying does

I've always liked it slow

Slow is in my blood

All your moves are swift

All your turns are tight

Let me catch my breath

I thought we had all night

I like to take my time

I like to linger as it flies

A weekend on your lips

A lifetime in your eyes

I'm slowing down the tune

I've never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I wanna get there last

So， baby letme go

You're wanted back in town

In case they want to know

I'm just trying to slow down

最甜蜜的短歌

北岛译

你走你的路

我也走你的路

选自莱昂纳德•科恩（Leonard Cohen）的诗画集

《渴望之书》（Book of Longing）

【英文版】

The Sweetest Little Song

You go your way

I'll go your way too

在我秘密的生活里

在我秘密的生活里

清晨我看见你

你如此快的离开

看来我还是无法释怀过往

我如此思念你

没人看得见

我们依然在相爱

在我秘密的生活里

当我愤怒我微笑

我欺骗我说谎

我做我必须做的

为了生活

但我知道什么是错

我知道什么是对

我为真理而亡

在我秘密的生活里

坚持 坚持 我的兄弟

我的姐妹 抱紧我

我最终得到我的法则

我将走过清晨

走过夜晚

越过我秘密生活的边缘

阅读这报纸

让你想哭泣

没有人关心这个人

是死是活

商人想你认为

这要么黑或白

感谢上帝 这并不是这样简单

在我秘密的生活里

我咬住嘴唇

我接受告知的话

从这最新的妙语

到古老的智慧

但我总是孤独

我的心像冰

它内心充塞而寒冷

在我秘密的生活里

【英文版】

In My Secret Life

In my secret life

I saw you this morning

You were moving so fast

Can’t seem to loosen my grip

On the past

And I miss you so much

There’s no one in sight

And we’re still making love

In my secret life

I smile when I'm angry

I cheat and I lie

I do what I have to do

To get by

But I know what is wrong

And I know what is right

And I'd die for the truth

In my secret life

Hold on, hold on, my brother

My sister, hold on tight

I finally got my orders

I'll be marching through the morning

Marching through the night

Moving cross the borders of my secret life

Looked through the paper

makes you want to cry

Nobody cares if the people

Live or die

And the dealer wants you thinking

That its either black or white

Thank God its not that simple

In my secret life

I bite my lip

I buy what I'm told

From the latest hit

To the wisdom of old

But I'm always alone

And my heart is like ice

And its crowded and cold

In my secret life

　　科恩的生平和经历，网上通过谷歌和百度都能查到，在此不再赘述。他特有的沙哑苍老的嗓音、喃喃自语的低诉大概是最能吸引听众的一个原因。大约世界上只有他才能发出这样富有磁力的、像黑洞般把人吸进去的声音。鲍勃·迪伦曾说：“如果我必须当一分钟其他人，那个人很可能就是科恩。”

　　他是诗人、民谣歌手、小说家。34岁出版第一张专辑《莱昂纳德·科恩之歌》，在音乐的发展道路上差不多像个老头子一样了。他和鲍勃迪伦不同，他只写诗写歌，不关心政治，所有的语言都直接的表达内心所想，不用华丽修饰，不用添加矫情成分，音乐因为他的诗而存在，唱他的歌如同读他的诗品他的人。

　　他离不开女人，早年的情史足够写一本厚书，当年在希腊Hydra岛上的木屋里，他与玛丽安的风流韵事也被他在《太久了，玛丽安》作品中记录下来。当他想要自我流放的时候，那个岛屿给了他想要的生活，那些女人给了他过于奢侈的爱。

　　他把爱情的回忆和探讨放到了音乐中，留在了诗歌里。
