Written by：Leonard Cohen
I get som time in the afternoon
我下午有时间
And I didn't feel like much
我没有什么感觉
I said to myself where are you golden boy
我对自己说你在哪里优秀的男孩
Where is your famous golden touch
你那著名的点石成金的魅力在哪里
I thought you knew where
我以为你知道我在哪里
All of the elephants lie down
所有的大象都躺下了
I thought you were the crown prince
我以为你是太子
Of all the wheels in ivory town
在这座象牙塔的小镇上
Look at your body now
看看你现在的身体
There's nothing much to save
没什么好拯救的
And a bitter voice in the mirror cries
一个苦涩的声音在镜子里呼唤
Hey prince you need a shave
嘿王子你需要刮刮胡子
Now if you can manage to get
现在如果你能设法
Your trembling fingers to behave
你颤抖的手指乖乖听话
Why don't you try unwrapping
你何不试着打开包装
A stainless steel razor blade
不锈钢刀片
That's right it's come to this
没错就是这样
Yes it's come to this
是的事情已经变成这样了
And wasn't it a long way down
是不是很遥远
Wasn't it a strange way down
是不是感觉很奇怪
There's no hot water
没有热水
And the cold is running thin
寒冷渐渐消失
Well what do you expect from
你还能期待什么
The kind of places you've been living in
你一直生活的地方
Don't drink from that cup
不要喝那种东西
It's all caked and cracked along the rim
我的心已经支离破碎
That's not the electric light my friend
那不是电灯我的朋友
That is your vision growing dim
那是你的视线渐渐模糊
Cover up your face with soap there
用肥皂遮住你的脸
Now you're Santa Claus
现在你是圣诞老人
And you've got a gift for anyone
你对任何人都有天赋
Who will give you his applause
谁会为你鼓掌
I thought you were a racing man
我以为你是赛车手
Ah but you couldn't take the pace
可你无法跟上我的步伐
That's a funeral in the mirror
就像镜子里的葬礼
And it's stopping at your face
它停在你的面前
That's right it's come to this
没错就是这样
Yes it's come to this
是的事情已经变成这样了
And wasn't it a long way down
是不是很遥远
Ah wasn't it a strange way down
这是不是很奇怪
Once there was a path
曾经有一条路
And a girl with chestnut hair
一个栗发女孩
And you passed the summers
你度过了夏日时光
Picking all of the berries that grew there
摘下所有生长在那里的浆果
There were times she was a woman
有时候她是个女人
Oh there were times she was just a child
有时她只是个孩子
And you held her in the shadows
你把她藏在阴影里
Where the raspberries grow wild
覆盆子疯狂生长的地方
And you climbed the twilight mountains
你翻越黄昏时分的群山
And you sang about the view
你歌唱着眼前的景色
And everywhere that you wandered
不管你走到哪里
Love seemed to go along with you
爱似乎与你如影随形
That's a hard one to remember
真是难以忘怀
Yes it makes you clench your fist
没错这让你紧握拳头
And then the veins stand out like highways
血管就像高速公路一样显露出来
All along your wrist
戴在你的手腕上
And no it's come to this
结果变成了这样
Yes it's come to this
是的事情已经变成这样了
And wasn't it a long way down
是不是很遥远
Wasn't it a strange way down
是不是感觉很奇怪
You can still find a job
你还能找到工作
Go out and talk to a friend
出去找朋友聊天
On the back of every magazine
印在每一本杂志的背面
There are those coupons you can send
有那些优惠券可以送
Why don't you join the rosicrucians
为何你不加入玫瑰十字会
They will give you back your hope
他们会让你重拾希望
You can find your love with diagrams
你可以通过图表找到你的爱
On a plain brown envelope
贴在一个普通的棕色信封上
But you've used up all your coupons
可你已经用光了所有优惠券
Except the one that seems
除了那个看起来
To be written on your wrist
刻在你的手腕上
Along with several thousand dreams
Now Santa Claus comes forward
现在圣诞老人出现了
That's a razor in his mit
他的脑袋里装着一把剃刀
And he puts on his dark glasses
他戴上墨镜
And he shows you where to hit
他告诉你该去哪里
And then the cameras pan
然后镜头一闪而过
The stand in stunt man
在舞台上尽情炫耀
Dress rehearsal rag
彩排的时候
It's dress rehearsal rag
这是彩排现场
