标题: 游吟诗人 Leonard Cohen
没有听说过Lenard名字的朋友,让我们先听他的一首诗歌吧。

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
苏珊带你去到她河边的住所
You can hear the boats go by
你能听到船经过
You can spend the night besides her
你可以在她身边渡过那晚
And you know that she's half crazy but that's
而你知道她有点半疯,而那正是
Why you want to be there
你想跟她在一起的原因
And she feeds you tea and oranges
她喂你茶 还有柑橘
That came all the way from China
它们来自遥远的中国
And just when you mean to tell her
而正当你想告诉她
But you have no love to give her
你对她并无爱可以奉献
And she gets you on her wavelength
她和你琴瑟和谐
And she lets the river answer
然后她让河水来作答
That you've always been her lover
你永远是她的爱人

CHORUS

And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
于是你想要和她一道旅行,你想无目的地旅行
And you know that she will trust you
而你知道她会信任你
for you have touched her perfect body with your mind
因为你已经用心触动了她无暇的身体

And jesus was a sailor
而耶稣曾是个水手
When he walked upon the water
当他行于水上时
And he spent a long time watching
他长时守候
From his lonely wooden tower
从他独守的木塔注视世间
And when he knew for certain
而当他确知
Only drowning men could see him
只有溺水之人 才能见他
He said all men will be sailors then
他说 人 都要作水手
Until the sea shall free them
直到大海让他们自由

But he himself was broken
然而耶稣自己也无法全身而退
Long before the sky would open
在天堂开启之前
Forsaken, almost human
天知道,他也是人身
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
却如磐石深深沉入你的智慧深处
And you want to travel with him
于是你想和他一同游走
And you want to travel blind
你想无目的地游走
And you think maybe youll trust him
你觉得你可能会信任他
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
因为他已用心触动了你无暇的身体。

Now suzanne takes your hands
这时苏珊拉着你的手
And she leads you to the river
她将你带到河水之处
She is wearing rags and feathers
她披着毯子 缀着羽毛
From salvation army counters
这些她得自退伍军人中心
And the sun pours down like honey
而阳光如蜜一般 倾泻而下
On our lady of the harbour
照着我们的港口女神
And she shows you where to look
她指引你的目光
Among the garbage and the flowers
从一片垃圾和花丛中看出去
There are heroes in the seaweed
海草中 英雄魂息
There are children in the morning
清晨孩童游戏
They are leaning out for love
他们渴望爱
And they will lean that way forever
他们永恒的渴望将会是爱
While suzanne holds the mirror
而苏珊执着那面镜

And you want to travel with her
于是你想和她一道旅行
And you want to travel blind
你想无目的地旅行
And you know that you can trust her
而你知道你可以信任她
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
因为她已经用心触动了你无暇的身体

他最近的专辑是2008年在London的现场版。
在退隐,修身多年之后,Leonard发现自己的积蓄快被经纪人快挥霍一空时,不得不再次举办演唱会谋生。
这时他已经74岁了。

同样的诗歌,74岁和33岁(首张专辑)的理解不会一样,演绎也当然更富睿智。
这两张现场版CD,适合夜读或者静思时聆听。

他的音乐属于Folk-Rock(民谣摇滚),对吗?

从理论上讲,小弟把音乐分为两类:好听的和垃圾。
Leonard的属于好听的。
