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

你走你的路
我也走你的路

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。
