Like a Bird (Bird on the Wire) - Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on the wire
像只立在电线上的鸟儿
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
像一个醉汉在午夜唱诗班中摇晃
I have tried in my way to be free
我尝试以自己的方式寻求自由
Like a worm on a hook
像一只挂在鱼钩上的饵
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
像从古书里走出来的骑士
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
我已为你保留我所有的勋章
If I if I have been unkind
如果我曾无情无义
I hope that you can just let it go by
我希望你别太在意
If I if I have been untrue
如果我一直缺乏诚意
I hope you know it was never to you
我希望你知道 我从不针对你
Oh like a baby stillborn
像一个夭折的婴儿
Like a beast with his horn
像一个独角兽
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
我已经撕裂了每一个向我伸出援助之手的人
But I swear by this song
但我以这首歌
And by all that I have done wrong
以及我所有做过的错事起誓
I will make it all up to thee
我会为你做出补偿
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
我看到一个乞丐拄着他的木拐杖
He said to me You must not ask for too much
对我说 你不该索要那么多
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
还有一位漂亮女子倚在她暗色的门里
She cried to me Hey why not ask for more
对我喊道 为什么不索要更多呢
Oh like a bird on the wire
像只立在电线上的鸟儿
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
像一个醉汉在午夜唱诗班中摇晃
I have tried in my way to be free
我尝试以自己的方式寻求自由
