The Stranger Song (Live at Isle of Wight Festival, UK) - Leonard Cohen

It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
你确信 你认识的所有人都是商人吗
Who said they were through with dealing
对他们来说 这只是完成了一场交易
Every time you gave them shelter
在每次你给他们提供帮助时
I know that kind of man

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
握住他们的手非常困难
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
因为他们举起手只是为了投降
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind

You find he did not leave you very much
你觉得他似乎还没有离开你
Not even laughter
欢声笑语还萦绕耳际
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
其实他就像庄家在盯着牌 你就是那张牌
That is so high and wild
可你是如此自信和狂热
You'll never need to deal another
就不去理会别人了
He was just some joseph looking for a manger
但他只是一个寻求别人帮助的懒人

And then leaning on your window sill

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

An old schedule of trains he'll say

As though they were the burden of some other

You've seen that man before

His golden arm dispatching cards

But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter

Lay down his hand

Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep
他呓语着入睡
You notice there's a highway
你想到也许有一个办法可以帮他解决
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder

The door is open you can't close you shelter

You try the handle of the road
