it's four in the morning
the end of december
i'm writing you now just to see if you're better
现在是清晨四点钟
十二月已然尾声
此刻我写这封给你其实只是想知道你过的好不好

new york is cold
but i like where i'm living
there's music on clinton street all through the evening
纽约很冷
但我很喜欢我住的地方
因为我住的柯灵顿街上彻夜都响著音乐

i hear that you're building your house deep in the desert
are you living for nothing now
hope you're keeping some kind of record
我听说你将自己的生活深筑在荒漠中
难道你现在真的一无所求了吗
多麼希望你至少能留住一些值得眷恋的东西

jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
the night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear
珍回来了，带著一绺你的头发
她说那是你送给她的
是在你决定把事情厘清的那天夜里送给她的
而你真的把所有的事情都理清了吗

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
but she never turned up. i mean lili mariene
上回我们见到你的时候
你看起来苍老了许多
你那件出了名?#123;色雨衣连肩上都磨破了
过去，你总是到车站
去等每一班火车
但是你心中的那位莉莉．玛莲始终没有出现

so you treated some woman to a flake of your life
and when she got home she was nobody's wife
i see you there with a rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well, i see jane's awake
she sends her regards
所以你分给其他的女人的，只是你生命中一个小小的碎片
而当她们回到家，她们仍然并不是属於任何人的妻子
我彷佛看见你是个在嘴角间衔著一朵玫瑰，专门窃取爱情
的又一位手法不甚高明的吉普赛小偷
噢，珍现在还醒著
她要我代她向你问好

It’s four in the morning, the end of December
　　
　　凌晨四点，十二月最后一天
　　
　　I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
　　
　　写信来只想问一句是否还好
　　
　　New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
　　
　　纽约虽然冰冰冷冷，不过我还满意这住处
　　
　　There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening
　　
　　克林顿大街灯红酒绿夜夜笙歌
　　
　　
　　
　　I hear that you’re building
　　
　　your little house deep in the desert
　　
　　听说你最近打算在这沙漠深处营建自己的心灵小屋
　　
　　You’re living for nothing now;
　　
　　I hope you’re keeping some kind of record
　　
　　看来你现在是看破红尘想超凡脱俗了；还望别忘记你自己那些无法磨灭的痕迹
　　
　　
　　
　　Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
　　
　　是啊，简带着你的发结来到我身边
　　
　　She said that you gave it to her
　　
　　她说那是你送的
　　
　　That night that you planned to go clear
　　
　　就在你决定远离这喧嚣尘世的那一晚
　　
　　Did you ever go clear?
　　
　　可是，你到底有没有真的毫无牵挂呢？
　　
　　
　　
　　Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
　　
　　啊，记得上次我们遇到你的时候，你看上去苍老得厉害
　　
　　Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
　　
　　你那件骄傲的蓝风衣肩膀上时光的烙印依稀可见
　　
　　You’d been to the station to meet every train
　　
　　你去车站随便乘上火车
　　
　　And you came home without Lili Marlene
　　
　　回到家里也没有那些莉莉玛莲
　　
　　
　　
　　And you treated my woman
　　
　　to a flake of your life
　　
　　而你对待我的情人像是生命里的一朵雪花
　　
　　And when she came back
　　
　　she was nobody’s wife
　　
　　然后她回到我身边，却也不属于任何人
　　
　　
　　
　　Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
　　
　　唔，我看到你在那边，嘴里叼着一支玫瑰
　　
　　One more thin gypsy thief
　　
　　又一个狡猾的吉普赛偷心贼啊
　　
　　Well I see Jane’s awake
　　
　　噢，简醒了
　　
　　She sends her regards
　　
　　让我代为问候
　　
　　
　　
　　And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
　　
　　可是我能和你说什么呢，我的兄弟啊；还是我的克星
　　
　　What can I possibly say?
　　
　　究竟讲些什么呢？
　　
　　I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
　　
　　估计我还是想念你的，也许我还可以原谅你
　　
　　I’m glad you stood in my way
　　
　　还是很荣幸我们有同样的选择
　　
　　
　　
　　If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
　　
　　如果你从未涉足这里，我是说无论简或是我
　　
　　Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
　　
　　你的情敌还在深睡，他的情人孑然一身
　　
　　Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
　　
　　好吧，还是要谢谢你，为了你抹去了她的眼里的忧愁
　　
　　I thought it was there for good so I’ve never tried
　　
　　我想总是好的，那这样也就这样了
　　
　　
　　
　　Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
　　
　　是啊，简带着你的发结来到我身边
　　
　　She said that you gave it to her
　　
　　她说那是你送的
　　
　　That night that you planned to go clear
　　
　　就在你决定远离这喧嚣尘世的那一晚
　　
　　——Sincerely, L .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 house deep in the desert
Are you living for nothing now?
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 when 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
But she never turned up I'm Lili Marlene
So you treated some woman to a flake of your life
And when she got home she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with a 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 oh what can I tell you
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad that you stood in my way.
And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
I want you to know your enemy's sleeping
I want you to know your woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never really tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear
Sincerely, a friend
~Wish you happy! --enjoy100~
