Bird on a Wire - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Like a bird on the wire
像只立在电线上的鸟
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
像个午夜唱诗班的醉汉
I have tried in my way to be free
我曾以我的方式寻求自由
Like a worm on a hook
像鱼钩上的饵
Like a knight penned down in some old fashioned book
像古书中的骑士
It was the shape of an old love that twisted me
是旧爱在折磨着我
If I have been unkind if I have been unkind
如果我曾无情
I hope that you can find a way to let all go right on by
我希望你能让它随风而逝
If I have been untrue if I have been untrue
如果我曾不忠
It's just I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
因为我认为爱人在某种程度上也是骗子
Like a little baby stillborn
像个夭折的婴儿
Like a beast with his horn
像头尖角的野兽
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
我伤害了每个伸手帮我的人
But I swear by this song
但我以此这首歌
I swear by all that I have done wrong
以我曾做过的错事 起誓
I will I will I will make it all up to thee
我会补偿你
I don't cry oh don't cry don't cry don't cry anymore
我不会再哭泣
It's over now don't cry
都结束了 不要哭泣
I say don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry anymore
我说 不要再哭泣
It's over it's done now it has been paid for
都结束了 都补偿了
Like a bird on the wire
像只立在电线上的鸟
Like a drunk in some midnight choir
像一个午夜唱诗班的醉汉
I have tried in my way to be free
我曾以我的方式寻求自由
