歌词
Suddenly the night has grown colder.
夜突然变冷。
The god of love preparing to depart.
神准备启程。
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
亚历桑德拉趴在他肩上，
They slip between the sentries of the heart.
他们溜出你心的岗亭。
被纯粹的欢乐指引，
Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
他们得到了光，他们缠成一团；
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
他们在美酒欢歌中坠落
And radiant beyond your widest measure
光芒四射超乎你想象。
They fall among the voices and the wine.
这不是幻术，你的感觉都在骗人，
一个断续的梦，在清晨消散——
It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
说再见吧，亚历桑德拉走了。
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
说再见吧，亚历桑德拉没了。
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
就算她把你吻醒。
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
就算她睡上你的绸缎。
也不要说这一刻是幻影。
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
不要屈从于这样的伎俩。
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
有人为这一切准备了很久，
Do not say the moment was imagined;
稳步走到窗前。把酒喝干。
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
美妙的音乐。亚历桑德拉笑了。
你最初的承诺又浮上心头。
As someone long prepared for this to happen,
你有幸得到她的夜晚，
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
那荣幸让你自己复原——
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
说再见吧，亚历桑德拉走了。
Your first commitments tangible again.
亚历桑德拉走了，和她的上帝一道。
（就算她把你吻醒
And you who had the honor of her evening,
就算她睡上你的绸缎
And by that honor had your own restored –
也不要说这一刻是幻影
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
不要屈从于这样的伎俩）
Alexandra leaving with her lord.
有人为这个机会准备了很久；
把你每个破灭的计划都握在手中——
Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
不要找一个懦夫的借口
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
躲藏在因果背后。
Do not say the moment was imagined;
（你被一个意义纠缠）
Do not stoop to strategies like this.
你被一个意义纠缠，
密码已经失效，十字架也不交叉——
As someone long prepared for the occasion;
说再见吧，亚历桑德拉走了。
In full command of every plan you wrecked –
说再见吧，亚历桑德拉没了。
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
仿 《上帝抛弃了安东尼》 C.卡瓦菲作
that hides behind the cause and the effect.
————希腊海德拉岛，1999年9月
And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
