高光光 － 不想生活在别处

 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.

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
