在Leonard Cohen71岁的时候,发行了这张专辑。 这是其中的一首。
嗓音性 感、低沉。
第一次听到,不可置信。
尽管已被岁月催老,不再年轻。 但那年少时的梦想,纯真依旧。 一生经历无数爱情,或者,说白了,睡了无数的女人。
拿着遗产和写书的稿费,开始了流浪的旅程。 这样的男子,落拓但对女人有着致命的吸引。
混迹花丛,唱歌,写书,写歌。
一生肆意潇洒,放荡不羁。 出过家,但却又还俗。 虽然已渐渐老去,但,举手投足间的魅力足以让任何一位女子所倾倒。 在他面前,你不会觉得自己是孩子,而是可以和他比肩的女人。
也不会感觉他的苍老,不会突兀认为他是一位足以当爷爷的老人。 岁月从未横亘,这只是一个男人和不间断的女人间的故事。
时光仿若停滞。
他,就站在那里。只用一个眼神,就将你彻底收服。-------------------------------
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done . . .
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A thousand kisses deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on boogie street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet ‥c
And then consented to be wrecked,
A thousand kisses deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on boogie street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . .
