在Leonard Cohen71岁的时候，发行了这张专辑。
这是其中的一首。
嗓音性 感、低沉。
第一次听到，不可置信。
尽管已被岁月催老，不再年轻。
但那年少时的梦想，纯真依旧。
一生经历无数爱情，或者，说白了，睡了无数的女人。
拿着遗产和写书的稿费，开始了流浪的旅程。
这样的男子，落拓但对女人有着致命的吸引。
混迹花丛，唱歌，写书，写歌。
一生肆意潇洒，放荡不羁。
出过家，但却又还俗。
虽然已渐渐老去，但，举手投足间的魅力足以让任何一位女子所倾倒。
在他面前，你不会觉得自己是孩子，而是可以和他比肩的女人。
也不会感觉他的苍老，不会突兀认为他是一位足以当爷爷的老人。
岁月从未横亘，这只是一个男人和不间断的女人间的故事。
时光仿若停滞。
你，察觉了吗？

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done . . .
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A thousand kisses deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on boogie street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet ‥c
And then consented to be wrecked,
A thousand kisses deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on boogie street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . .作者: alay9999 时间: 2010-12-22 19:27
