Suzanne

Leonard Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
苏珊将你带去她河边的小屋
You can hear the boats go by
那儿你能听见屋外小船经过
You can spend the night beside her
你能伴着她度过黑夜
And you know that she's half crazy
你知道她是有点儿疯狂
But that's why you want to be there
正因如此 你选择留下
And she feeds you tea and oranges
她让你享受
That come all the way from China
来自中国的茶和桔子
And just when you mean to tell her
当你正想告诉她
That you have no love to give her
你根本不爱她
Then she gets you on her wavelength
她却将你揽入怀中
And she lets the river answer
让河流告诉你
That you've always been her lover
你是她永远的爱人
And you want to travel with her
你愿和她一起旅行
And you want to travel blind
到处游走
And you know that she will trust you
她会相信你
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
在你的脑海里 你已经触碰到了她完美的肌肤
And Jesus was a sailor
耶稣曾是个水手
When he walked upon the water
他在水上行走时
And he spent a long time watching
会久久凝视他
From his lonely wooden tower
那孤寂的木堡
And when he knew for certain
当他确信
Only drowning men could see him
只有溺水的人才能看见他
He said "All men will be sailors then
他说 若大海还你自由
Until the sea shall free them"
每个人都能成为水手
But he himself was broken
在天亮之前
Long before the sky would open
他早已灰飞烟灭
Forsaken almost human
被遗弃 几乎成为凡人
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
在你的脑海里如大海沉石
And you want to travel with him
你愿和他一起旅行
And you want to travel blind
四处游走
And you think maybe you'll trust him
你可以相信他
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
因为当他碰触你曼妙的身姿 心灵为之震颤
Now Suzanne takes your hand
苏珊握住你的手
And she leads you to the river
带你去河边
She is wearing rags and feathers
她穿着救世军
From Salvation Army counters
捐赠的破旧衣裳
And the sun pours down like honey
阳光如蜜般洒向
On our lady of the harbour
海港的女神
And she shows you where to look
她指引你看向远处
Among the garbage and the flowers
在杂乱的海藻与花丛间
There are heroes in the seaweed
有许多英雄
There are children in the morning
晨光中有许多孩子
They are leaning out for love
他们正探身寻爱
And they will lean that way forever
并且一直如此
While Suzanne holds the mirror
当苏珊拿着镜子
And you want to travel with her
你想和她一起旅行
And you want to travel blind
四处游走
And you know that you can trust her
你可以相信她
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
因为她将她的灵魂与你的身体交织
