Death Of A Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread

"I never even knew how much I wanted you" she said

His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete
他的肌肉已慢慢消失 他的风格已经过时
"O baby I have come too late" She knelt beside his feet
宝贝 我来得太晚了 她跪在他的脚边
"I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come
这些年接触的男人中 我从未见过像你一样的男人
I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love"
我再也见不到那般环抱的臂膀 或是爱情中的怀抱
And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust
烟雾缭绕的浩劫中燃尽了他所有的美好
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost

Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view
现在这风景的主人 他和圣弗朗西斯的一只麻雀
With a sparrow of St Francis that he was preaching to
站在那视野里 他不停乞求着
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood

He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room

He promised her protection for the issue of her womb

She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon

She took his much admired oriental frame of mind

And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind

She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine --

"This mental space is occupied and everything is mine"

He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track

She said"The art of longing's over and it's never coming back"

She took his tavern parliament his cap his cocky dance
她代替他去他的酒馆议会 带上他的帽子 像他一样趾高气扬地舞蹈
She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache

The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get

A woman's education but he's not a woman yet

And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy

Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy

So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed

It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed
这会让我们倍感空虚 却一点也不为所动
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star

I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
