The Stranger Song - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Its true that all the men you knew were dealers
的确 你认识的所有男人都是赌徒
Who said they were through with dealing
他们说 他们将金盆洗手
Every time you gave them shelter
每一次 当你为他们提供藏身之所时
I know that kind of man
我了解那种人
Its hard to hold the hand of anyone
握住他们任何人的手都是困难的
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
因为他们举起手只是为了投降
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
因为他们举起手只是为了投降
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind

You find he did not leave you very much
你发现他留给你的并不多
Not even laughter
即便是一个微笑
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
就像每一个赌徒那样 他在寻找一张
That is so high and wild
至高无上不可战胜的王牌
Hell never need to deal another
有了它 他再也不必去赌博
He was just some joseph looking for a manger

And then leaning on your window sill

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

I told you when I came I was a stranger
