That Don't Make It Junk - Leonard Cohen
I fought against the bottle
我和这个酒瓶动气
But I had to do it drunk –
但我又不得不喝醉
Took my diamond to the pawnshop –
把我的钻石典当掉
But that don't make it junk
但别让它成为废物
I know that I'm forgiven
我知道我得到了原谅
But I don't know how I know
但我无从知晓缘由
I don't trust my inner feelings –
我不信我的内心感受
Inner feelings come and go
它们来来去去并不靠谱
How come you called me here tonight
今夜你怎能把我叫到这儿呢
How come you bother
你怎能扰乱
With my heart at all
我的心呢
You raise me up in grace
你施以恩典鼓舞了我
Then you put me in a place
然后把我带到一个地方
Where I must fall
一个令我堕落的地方
Too late to fix another drink –
已经很晚 无法再续一杯
The lights are going out –
灯光渐渐熄灭
I'll listen to the darkness sing –
我倾听黑夜的歌声
I know what that's about
我知道它唱的什么
I tried to love you my way
我试着用我的方式爱你
But I couldn't make it hold
但我无法始终如此
So I closed the Book of Longing
所以当我合上渴望之书
And I do what I am told
我按我心之所属行事
How come you called me here tonight
今夜你怎能把我叫到这儿呢
How come you bother with my heart at all
你怎能扰乱我的心呢
You raise me up in grace
你施以恩典鼓舞了我
Then you put me in a place
然后把我带到一个地方
Where I must fall
一个令我堕落的地方
I fought against the bottle
我和这个酒瓶动气
But I had to do it drunk –
但我又不得不喝醉
Took my diamond to the pawnshop –
把我的钻石典当掉
But that don't make it junk
但别让它成为废物
