     Famous Blue Raincoat - by Leonard Cohen

    It's four in the morning, the end of December 
    I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
    New York
    is cold, but I like where I'm living

    There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. 

    I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert 
    You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

    Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
    She said that you gave it to her 

    That night that you planned to go clear

    Did you ever go clear?

    Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older 
    Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder 

    You'd been to the station to meet every train

    And you came home without Lili Marlene

    And you treated my woman to a flake of your life  

    And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

    Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
    One more thin gypsy thief  

    Well I see Jane's awake --  She sends her regards.  

    And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
    What can I possibly say? 

    I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you 

    I'm glad you stood in my way. 

    If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
    Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

    Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
    I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

     --Sincerely, L. Cohen

     

    现在是清晨四点,十二月已然尾声
    我此刻给你写信只是想知道你好不好
    纽约很冷,但是我喜欢我住的地方
    这里Clinton街上彻夜都响着音乐

    我听说你将自己的生活深筑在荒漠中
    你真的一无所求了么?多么希望你至少能留住一些值得眷恋的东西。

    Jane回来了,带着一绺你的头发, 她说那是你送给她的
    是你告诉她决定的那天夜里给她的
    你真的把所有事情都理清了吗?

    上回我们见你的时候你看起来苍老了很多
    你那件著名的蓝雨衣连肩上都磨破了
    过去,你总是到车站去等每一班火车
    但是你心中的Lili Marlene始终未出现
    所以你分给其他女人的,只能是你生命中的一个小小的碎片
    好像我的Jane,当她回到家时,她仍然并不属于任何人的妻子。

    我仿佛看见你站在那里,嘴角衔着一朵玫瑰
    好像又一个窃取爱情的吉普赛人

    Jane现在醒了,她向你问好

    我能说什么呢,我的兄弟,我的敌人
    我能说什么呢?
    我猜我想说的只是我想念你,我原谅你
    我很高兴我们的相遇

    如果有一天你路过这里,不论是为我或是为Jane
    请相信这里已经没有你的敌人。

    谢谢你,为Jane重新快乐所做的一切
    那些在她眼里的忧伤我曾经以为是好的
    我从没试图去拨开它们,象你那样

     --Sincerely, L. Cohen

    我们在某些时候梦想过的那种东西

    天地广阔

    而我只有一条狭窄的通道

    可以到达它

    音乐换成以前放过的,Black tape for a blue girl的,喜欢这个有点颓废的声音。歌词也是超级喜欢。

    Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
    Twice on the pipe is the answer, answer is no, no, no
