Night Comes On (Live At Monchengladbach Show, 2012) - Leonard Cohen

I went down to the place

我径直走到那片土地

Where my mother lay waiting

妈妈就安睡在那冰雪寒石下

Under the marble and the snow

静默守候

I said, mother I'm frightened

我说 妈妈那雷鸣闪电

The thunder and the lightning

让我很是害怕

I'll never come through this alone

我一个人无法安然度过这漫长黑夜

She said, I'll be with you

她说 我会陪在你身边

My shawl wrapped around you

我的围巾会裹紧你

My hand on your head when you go

当你离去时 我的手会轻抚你的头

And the night comes on

寒夜降临

And it's very calm

万籁俱寂

I wanted the night to go on and on

我只是希望这黑夜能够再长点

But she said, go back back to the world

但是她说 走吧 回到现实世界去吧

We were fighting in Egypt

我们还在埃及浴血奋战时

When they signed this agreement

他们就签订了不会再有人

That nobody else had to die

流血牺牲的停战协议

There was this terrible sound

但可怕的声响传来

And my father went down

我的父亲倒下了

With a terrible wound in his side

他遍体鳞伤

He said, try to go on

他说 继续厮杀

Take my books, take my gun

带上我的书 拿上我的枪

Remember, my son, how they lied

我的孩子 铭记他们是如何背信弃义的

And the night comes on

寒夜降临

And it's very calm

万籁俱寂

I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong

我宁愿相信是我的父亲错了

But you don't want to lie, not to the young

但你不愿说谎 尤其是对年轻的下一代

We were locked in this kitchen

我们被锁在厨房里

I took to religion

我开始信奉宗教

And I wondered how long she would stay

我想知道 妈妈会留我身边多久

I needed so much

我有太多愿望

To have nothing to touch

却都未曾实现

I've always been greedy that way

我一直都是如此贪心

But my son and my daughter

但是我的儿子 我的女儿

Climbed out of the water

探出水面

Crying, Papa, you promised to play

哭喊着爸爸 你答应和我们一起玩的

And they lead me away

他们牵着我的手

To the great surprise

准备给我巨大惊喜

It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes

爸爸 不要偷看 闭上你的眼睛

And they hide, hide in the world

然后他们藏到了某个未知的角落

Now I look for her always

时至今日 我仍在寻找她

I'm lost in this calling

我迷失在那一声声的呼唤中

I'm tied to the threads of some prayer

我始终如一的虔心祈祷

Saying, when will she summon me

心中默念 她何时才会呼唤我

When will she come to me

她何时才会来到我身边

What must I do to prepare

我要准备些什么

When she bends to my longing

她何时才会服从于我心中的渴望

Like a willow, like a fountain

好似垂柳 好似弯泉

She stands in the luminous air

她徘徊在旖旎的夜空

And the night comes on

寒夜降临

And it's very calm

万籁俱寂

I lie in her arms she says, when I'm gone

我躺在她的怀中 她说 当我离去时

I'll be yours, yours for a song

我会成为你毕生难忘的旋律

Now the crickets are singing

此刻 蟋蟀轻声低吟

The vesper bells ringing

晚祷钟声敲响

The cat's curled asleep in his chair

猫咪蜷缩在睡椅上打呼噜

I'll go down to Bill's Bar

我要前往酒吧

I can make it that far

远离一切喧嚣

And I'll see if my friends are still there

我会知晓我的朋友是否还在那里

And here's to the few

生命中只有少数几个人

Who forgive what you do

会原谅你的所作所为

And the fewer who don't even care

而更少的人才会根本不在乎

And the night comes on

寒夜降临

And it's very calm

万籁俱寂

I want to cross over, I want to go home

我想跨过鸿沟 我想回家

But she says, go back

但是她说 回去吧

Back to the world

回到现实世界去吧

I went down to the place

我径直走到那片土地

Where my mother lay waiting

妈妈就安睡在那冰雪寒石下

Under the marble and the snow

静默守候

I said, mother I'm frightened

我说 妈妈那雷鸣闪电

The thunder and the lightning

让我很是害怕

I'll never come through this alone

我一个人无法安然度过这漫长黑夜

She said, I'll be with you

她说 我会陪在你身边

My shawl wrapped around you

我的围巾会裹紧你

My hand on your head when you go

当你离去时 我的手会轻抚你的头

And the night comes on

寒夜降临

It's very calm

万籁俱寂

I want to cross over, I want to go home

我想跨过鸿沟 我想回家

But she says, go back, back to the world

但是她说 回去吧 回到现实世界去吧
