Alexandra Leaving - Leonard Cohen
Written by:Sharon Robi
Suddenly the night has grown colder
突然间 夜渐渐冷了
The God of love preparing to depart
爱之神正准备出发
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder
Alexandra(女名)骑在他的肩上
They slip between the sentries of the heart
他们溜过心之岗哨
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
被愉悦的简洁所升起
They gain the light they formlessly entwine
他们获得了光 他们无形地缠绕着彼此
And radiant beyond your widest measure
并且照耀着你最远的边界
They fall among the voices and the wine
他们在声与酒中沉沦
It's not a trick your senses all deceiving
这全非虚假 是你的感觉在欺骗
A fitful dream the morning will exhaust
一个断断续续的梦 早上便这样过去
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
向离开的Alexantra道别吧
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
然后向迷失的Alexantra道别
Even though she sleeps upon your satin
尽管她在你的绸缎上睡着
Even though she wakes you with a kiss
尽管她用一个吻唤醒你
Do not say the moment was imagined
请别说这是幻想中的瞬间
Do not stoop to strategies like this
也不要对这样的策略而弯腰
As someone long prepared for this to happen
那是因为有人为此发生而长久准备
Go firmly to the window drink it in
毅然走向窗户 干了这杯吧
Exquisite music Alexandra laughing
精妙细腻的音乐 Alexantra在大笑着
Your firm commitments tangible again
仿佛你坚决的承诺又一次变得触手可及
And you who had the honor of her evening
你 那个拥有着她夜晚荣耀的人
And by the honor had your own restored
通过她这荣耀 你拿回了属于你自己的荣耀
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
对离开的Alexandra道别吧
Alexandra leaving with her Lord
Alexantra随着她的主离开了
Even though she sleeps upon your satin
尽管她在你的绸缎上熟睡
Even though she wakes you with a kiss
尽管她用一个吻唤醒你
Do not say the moment was imagined
别说这是幻想中的一瞬
Do not stoop to strategies like this
也别向着这样的策略弯腰
As someone long prepared for the occasion
那是因为有人为这一刻长久准备
In full command of every plan you wrecked
在每一个令你失足的计划中
Do not choose a coward's explanation
不要选择一个懦夫的解释
That hides behind the cause and the effect
一个藏在原因与影响后面的解释
And you who were bewildered by a meaning
你 被意义迷惑之人
Whose code was broken crucifix uncrossed
你的命运已经破损 你的十字架永不交叉
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
向离开的Alexantra道别吧
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
然后向迷失的Alexantra道别
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
向离开的Alexantra道别吧
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost
然后向迷失的Alexantra道别
