It Seemed the Better Way
Leonard Cohen
It Seemed the Better Way 歌詞
Seemed the better way
這似乎是更好的方式
When first I heard him speak
在最先聽他佈道之時
Now it's much too late
但現在這已經太晚了
To turn the other cheek
如果我們再想要忍讓
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去的確是事實
Seemed the better way
也似乎是更好的方式
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去確實是真理
But it's not the truth today
但這真理不屬於今日
I wonder what it was
我疑惑過真相是什麼
I wonder what it meant
我懷疑過這有何深意
First he touched on love
最先他向我們談到愛
Then he touched on death
然後他也談到了死亡
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去的確是事實
Seemed the better way
也似乎是更好的方式
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去確實是真理
But it's not the truth today
但這真理不屬於今日
I better hold my tongue
我最好選擇沉默不言
I better take my place
我應該繼續盡我本職
Lift this glass of blood
讓我們舉起這杯聖血
Try to say the grace
讓我們一起歌頌仁慈
Seemed the better way
這似乎是更好的方式
When first I heard him speak
在最先聽他佈道之時
But now it's much to late
但現在這已經太晚了
To turn the other cheek
如果我們再想要忍讓
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去的確是事實
Seemed the better way
也似乎是更好的方式
Sounded like the truth
這聽上去確實是真理
But it's not the truth today
但這真理不屬於今日
I better hold my tongue
我最好選擇沉默不言
