Bird On A Wire - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Like a bird on the wire
像一只驻在电线上的鸟儿
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
像午夜唱诗班一个醉酒的人
I have tried in my way to be free
我已经努力用自己的方式获得自由
Like a worm on a hook
像一只上了钩的虫子
Like a knight penned down in some old fashioned book
像被写进古老书本的勇士
It was the shape the shape of an old love that twisted me
是古老的爱情折磨着我
If I if I have been unkind
如果我不友善
I hope that you can find a way to let all go right on by
我希望你可以找到一个方法放开一切
If I if I have been untrue
如果我不真诚
It's just I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
我认为那个情人也是一个说谎的人
Like a little baby stillborn
像一个刚出生的婴儿
Like a beast with his horn
像长着犄角的野兽
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
我折磨了所有向我伸出手的人
But I swear by this song
但是通过这首歌我发誓
I swear by all that I have done wrong
我发誓我所做的一切错事
I will make it all up to thee
我会全部弥补给你
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
我看到一个拄着木质拐杖的乞讨者
He said to me "You must not ask for so much"
他对我说 你一定不能要求太多
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
一个漂亮女人斜靠着她黑暗的门
She cried to me "Hey why not ask for more "
她哭着对我说 为什么不要更多
Oh like a bird on the wire
像一只驻在电线上的鸟儿
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
像午夜唱诗班一个醉酒的人
I have tried in my way to be free
我已经努力用自己的方式获得自由
