Dress Rehearsal Rag (Live) - Leonard Cohen
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by:Leonard Cohen
I get som time in the afternoon
午后时光悄然流逝
And I didn't feel like much
我却感到空虚迷茫
I said to myself where are you golden boy
我自问 金色男孩今何在
Where is your famous golden touch
你那点石成金的魔力去了何方
I thought you knew where
曾以为你知晓
All of the elephants lie down
群象安眠的秘境
I thought you were the crown prince
曾以为你是象牙之城
Of all the wheels in ivory town
万千车轮加冕的王子
Look at your body now
看看你现在的模样
There's nothing much to save
已没什么值得挽救
And a bitter voice in the mirror cries
镜中传来苦涩的呼喊
Hey prince you need a shave
说着"王子你该刮胡子了"
Now if you can manage to get
若你还能勉强控制
Your trembling fingers to behave
那双颤抖不停的手
Why don't you try unwrapping
何不试着拆开
A stainless steel razor blade
那片不锈钢的剃须刀片
That's right it's come to this
没错 事已至此
Yes it's come to this
是的 事已至此
And wasn't it a long way down
这一路坠落何其漫长
Wasn't it a strange way down
这一路坠落何其荒诞
There's no hot water
热水早已枯竭
And the cold is running thin
寒意却仍在蔓延
Well what do you expect from
你又能期待什么
The kind of places you've been living in
从你栖身的这般境地
Don't drink from that cup
别碰那个杯子
It's all caked and cracked along the rim
杯沿早已斑驳龟裂
That's not the electric light my friend
那不是电光闪烁 朋友
That is your vision growing dim
是你逐渐模糊的视线
Cover up your face with soap there
用肥皂沫抹满脸庞吧
Now you're Santa Claus
此刻你成了圣诞老人
And you've got a gift for anyone
备好礼物等待
Who will give you his applause
施舍掌声的过客
I thought you were a racing man
我曾以为你是追风少年
Ah but you couldn't take the pace
却原来跟不上这疾驰的节奏
That's a funeral in the mirror
镜中倒映着送葬的行列
And it's stopping at your face
此刻正停驻在你的容颜
That's right it's come to this
没错 事已至此
Yes it's come to this
是的 事已至此
And wasn't it a long way down
这一路坠落何其漫长
Ah wasn't it a strange way down
这沉沦之途何等荒诞
Once there was a path
曾有一条林间小径
And a girl with chestnut hair
栗发少女漫步其间
And you passed the summers
你们共度盛夏时光
Picking all of the berries that grew there
采撷枝头累累浆果
There were times she was a woman
她时而成熟如妇人
Oh there were times she was just a child
时而天真似孩童
And you held her in the shadows
你在树影婆娑处
Where the raspberries grow wild
轻拥她于野莓丛
And you climbed the twilight mountains
你曾攀上暮色笼罩的山巅
And you sang about the view
对着壮阔风景放声歌唱
And everywhere that you wandered
无论你流浪至何方
Love seemed to go along with you
爱意总如影随形相伴
That's a hard one to remember
这回忆令人心如刀绞
Yes it makes you clench your fist
让你不禁攥紧拳头
And then the veins stand out like highways
直到青筋如公路暴起
All along your wrist
蜿蜒在你颤抖的手腕
And no it's come to this
如今竟沦落至此
Yes it's come to this
是的 事已至此
And wasn't it a long way down
这一路坠落何其漫长
Wasn't it a strange way down
这一路坠落何其荒诞
You can still find a job
你仍可找份工作
Go out and talk to a friend
出门与朋友谈心
On the back of every magazine
每本杂志背面
There are those coupons you can send
都印着可寄出的优惠券
Why don't you join the rosicrucians
何不加入玫瑰十字会
They will give you back your hope
他们将重燃你的希望
You can find your love with diagrams
你能在褐色信封上
On a plain brown envelope
用图表寻获真爱
But you've used up all your coupons
但你已耗尽所有机会
Except the one that seems
只剩那道刻痕
To be written on your wrist
深深印在你腕间
Along with several thousand dreams
与万千梦想相伴
Now Santa Claus comes forward
圣诞老人缓缓走来
That's a razor in his mit
他手中握着剃刀
And he puts on his dark glasses
戴上墨镜遮住双眼
And he shows you where to hit
指引你何处下手
And then the cameras pan
镜头缓缓摇过
The stand in stunt man
那位替身特技演员
Dress rehearsal rag
彩排时的破布衣裳
It's dress rehearsal rag
不过是彩排的破布衣裳
