歌词
Siters of mercy
善良的姐妹
Leonard Cohen
科恩老爷
哦！这对善良的姐妹，
Oh the sisters of mercy,
她们从未离去。
they are not departed or gone.
她们正等着我，
They were waiting for me
当我想要离开的时候。
when I thought that I just can't go on.
她们带给我安慰，
And they brought me their comfort and later
她们还带给我这首歌。
they brought me this song.
哦！我希望你快点到她们那儿去，
Oh I hope you run into them,
你已经走过了慢慢长路。
you who've been travelling so long.
是的，你必须丢弃一些东西，
那些你无法掌握的东西。
Yes you who must leave everything
从你的世俗身份开始，
that you cannot control.
到你的灵魂。
It begins with your family,
我见过你被绞死的地方，
but soon it comes around to your soul.
我想我能够看到你是怎样被绑上去的。
Well I've been where you're hanging,
当你不相信神圣，
I think I can see how you're pinned.
你的孤独告诉你，你有罪。
When you're not feeling holy,
她们躺在我身边，
your loneliness says that you've sinned.
我向她们忏悔。
她们抚摸的眼睛，
Well they lay down beside me,
我触摸她们裙角的露珠。
I made my confession to them.
如果你的生命是一片树叶，
They touched both my eyes
在属于你的季节里因罪责而提前飘落。
and I touched the dew on their hem.
她们会抚慰你的创伤，
If your life is a leaf
用她们嫩绿枝条的爱
that the seasons tear off and condemn
我离开时，她们正在沉睡，
they will bind you with love
我希望你快点到她们那儿去。
that is graceful and green as a stem.
不要开灯，
月光会为你指明方向。
When I left they were sleeping,
如果我听见你们在夜晚的甜蜜欢笑，
I hope you run into them soon.
我不会嫉妒。
Don't turn on the lights,
我和她们不是那样的爱人，
you can read their address by the moon.
这样已经很好了。
And you won't make me jealous
我和她们不合适，
if I hear that they sweetened your night.
也许她们会有更好的选择。
We weren't lovers like that
and besides it would still be all right,
We weren't lovers like that
and besides it would still be all right.
