A Song for Leonard Cohen

I wish that I could buy you a drink
我愿予你 一杯清酒
And then more and then five
斟酌再续 击掌问候
I’d get you drunk and I’d get me outgoing
酒酣微醺 与我同游
All week or just this one night
一周相邀 一晚可否
And then, maybe, we could go for a walk
或许此后 一起漫步
And I’d just listen while you talk
侧耳倾听 且谈且走

我神游天外 邀你带我
My imagination slips, then I have you taking
去巴塞罗那 共度周末
Me to Barcelona for the weekend
你向我诉说 菲尔举着手枪
You described the night
为你满上酒杯 的那场晚宴
Phil Spector, with his revolver, served you ceremonial wine
我们将会 以希腊神话为喻
We’d compare mythologies
为那些不能相信的朋友干杯
And toast those friends that never believed
我们的声音 永远有着太多需要诉说
That our voices ever had much to offer
或许此后 一起漫步
And then, maybe, we could go for a walk
侧耳倾听 且谈且走
And I’d just listen while you talk
我愿予你 一杯清酒

斟酌再续 击掌问候
I wish that I could buy you a drink
一晚之后
And then more and then five
我碰巧丢了钱包
At the end of a night
你最终为我买单
I’d conveniently misplace my wallet
我们将会 以希腊神话为喻
And you would wind up buying all of mine
为那些不能相信的朋友干杯
We’d compare mythologies
我们的声音 永远有着太多需要诉说
And toast those friends that never believed
或许此后 一起漫步
That our voices ever had much to offer
侧耳倾听 且谈且走
And then, maybe, we would go for a walk
你遥指港湾
And I’d just listen while you talk
月光依着水波

小船靠着船坞
You’d point to the harbour
穿透黑暗 人影相交
And the moonlight against the water
侧耳倾听 且谈且走
The little boats against the dock
穿透黑暗 人影相交
And through the dark our shadows then might get along
侧耳倾听 且谈且走
And I’d just listen while we walk
And through the dark our shadows then might get along
And I’d just listen while you talk
