Take This Longing - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Many men have loved the bells
很多人都喜欢铃铛
You fastened to the rein
你把它拴在绳上
And everyone who wanted you
每个想得到你的男人
They found what they will always want again
都对你虎视眈眈
Your beauty lost to you yourself
你的美让你迷失自己
Just as it was lost to them
正如他们也迷失一样
Oh take this longing from my tongue
让我别再渴望你的吻
Whatever useless things these hands have done
不管我做过些什么毫无意义的事
Let me see your beauty broken down
让我看着你的美貌逝去
Like you would do for one you love
就像你为所爱之人做的那样
Your body like a searchlight
你的身体就像探照灯
My poverty revealed
将我的贫穷挖掘
I would like to try your charity
我想得到你的施舍
Until you cry "Now you must try my greed "
直到你哭着说 你要填满我的欲望
And everything depends upon
但这一切取决于
How near you sleep to me
你是否睡在我身边
Just take this longing from my tongue
让我不再渴望你的吻
All the lonely things my hands have done
不管我做过什么
Let me see your beauty broken down
让我看着你的美貌逝去
Like you would do for one your love
就像你为所爱之人做的那样
Hungry as an archway
饥渴就像一道拱门
Through which the troops have passed
人群从此走过
I stand in ruins behind you
我站在你身后的废墟中
With your winter clothes your broken sandal straps
只剩你的冬衣和破旧的鞋
I love to see you naked over there
我尤其喜欢
Especially from the back
从后面看你赤身裸体的样子
Oh take this longing from my tongue
让我别再渴望你的吻
All the useless things my hands have done
不管我做过些什么
Untie for me your hired blue gown
为我解开你的蓝色长袍
Like you would do for one that you love
就像你为所爱之人所做的那样
You're faithful to the better man
你对好男人很有信心
I'm afraid that he left
只恐怕他已离去
So let me judge your love affair
让我来评论你的爱情
In this very room where I have sentenced
就在这个
Mine to death
我曾宣布我的爱情已死亡的屋子
I'll even wear these old laurel leaves
我还戴着月桂树的叶子
That he's shaken from his head
而他在颤抖
Just take this longing from my tongue
让我不再渴望你的吻
All the useless things my hands have done
不管我做过什么
Let me see your beauty broken down
让我看着你的美貌逝去
Like you would do for one you love
就像你为所爱之人所做的那样
Like you would do for one you love
就像你为所爱之人所做的那样
