歌词
Came So Far for Beauty -Leonard Cohen
为了美远道而来——莱昂纳德 科恩
I came so far for beauty left
我为了美远道而来
So much behind
身后留下了太多
My patience and my family
我的坚韧和我的家庭
My masterpiece unsigned
我尚未签名的杰作
I thought I'd be rewarded
我觉得我会因如此孤独的
For such a lonely choice
一个抉择而得到回报
And surely she would answer
她定会回应
To such a very hopeless voice
这个如此绝望的声音
I practiced all my sainthood
我练习着我所有的圣洁
I gave to one and all
我曾赠予了所有人
But the rumours of my virtue
而有关我美德的谣言
They moved her not at all
他们根本没改变过她
I changed my style to silver
我将我的风格变为了银色
I changed my clothed to black
把衣服改成了黑色
And where I would surrender
在我曾投降的地方
Now I would attack
如今我要去攻击
I stormed the old casino
我为了金钱
For the money
狂风般闯进旧赌场
And the flesh and I myself decided
肉体和我自己决定着
What was rotten
什么已在腐烂
And what was fresh
什么仍旧新鲜
And men to do my bidding
男人们听着我的叫牌喊价
And broken bones to teach
打断了骨头去传授
The value of my pardon
我宽恕的价值
The shadow of my reach
我触及的阴影
But no I could not touch her
但不，我不能碰触她
With such a heavy hand
用一只如此沉重的手
Her star beyond my order
她的星辰我无法触及
Her nakedness unmanned
她的赤裸无人驾驭
I came so far for beauty
我为了美远道而来
I left so much behind
身后留下了太多
My patience and my family
我的坚韧和我的家庭
My masterpiece unsigned
我尚未签名的杰作
