歌词
It's four in the morning, the end of December
此刻是十一月末的凌晨四点
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
我在给你写信，想知道你是否过得好些
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
纽约很冷，但我喜欢我的栖居之所
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
夜晚的克林顿街上，乐声永不停歇
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
我听闻，你在僻远之处搭了一座小屋
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
你已过上漫无目的而无拘无束的生活，但我希望你心中仍存留着些旧日回响
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
是的，Jane带来一绺你的发束
She said that you gave it to her
她说你把这给她
That night that you planned to go clear
在你打算了无牵挂地离开的那个夜晚
Did you ever go clear?
可你真的无牵无挂吗？
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
啊，上次见面时你看着沧桑了许多
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
你那标志性的蓝色雨衣肩头已破
You'd been to the station to meet every train
你曾流连车站守候每一趟火车
And you came home without Lili Marlene
却终也未带回Lili Mariene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
你把我的女人变成你生命中的一部分
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
当她再次归来，她不再是任何人的妻子
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
我仿佛看见你就在这儿，衔着一支玫瑰
One more thin gypsy thief
像一个鬼灵精的吉普赛小贼
Well I see Jane's awake
Jane已醒来
She sends her regards.
她向你问好
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
我能对你说些什么呢，我的兄弟，我的杀手
What can I possibly say?
我能说些什么？
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
我猜我想念你，我想我会原谅你
I'm glad you stood in my way.
我很高兴有你插足我的生活
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
如果有一天你来拜访，不论是为了Jane还是我
Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
那么放心，你的敌人在沉睡，而他的女人来去自由
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
是的。谢谢你，带走她眼中的阴霾
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
我曾以为那让她更美，因而从未尝试
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Jane带来一绺你的发束
She said that you gave it to her
她说你把这给她
That night that you planned to go clear
在你打算了无牵挂地离开的那个夜晚
Sincerely, L. Cohen
诚挚的，L. Cohen
