Suzanne (You Can)

Suzanne

Leonard Cohen
蘇珊娜帶你到她河邊的處所

你們能聽到小船駛過
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
今晚你可以呆在她的身旁
You can hear the boats go by
你知道她已幾近瘋狂
You can spend the night beside her
但這就是為何你想在她身旁
And you know that she's half crazy
她請你喝茶，餵你橙子
But that's why you want to be there
那可都是一路從中國運來
And she feeds you tea and oranges
正當你打算告訴她
That come all the way from China
你不會愛她
And just when you mean to tell her
她卻打斷你的話
That you have no love to give her
讓那河流回答
Then she gets you on her wavelength
你一直是她心中的愛人
And she lets the river answer
你想和她一起旅行
That you've always been her lover
你想漫無目的的旅行
And you want to travel with her
你知道她會毫無保留的信任你
And you want to travel blind
因為你已用想像觸摸了她完美的身體
And you know that she will trust you
耶穌是一位水手
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
當他走在海面上
And Jesus was a sailor
他長時間眺望
When he walked upon the water
從他孤獨的木塔上
And he spent a long time watching
當他確切地知道
From his lonely wooden tower
只有溺水者能把他看到
And when he knew for certain
他說：“所有人應當成為水手”
Only drowning men could see him
直到大海將他們解放”
He said 'All men will be sailors then
可是他自己卻先崩潰
Until the sea shall free them'
早在那天空開裂之前
But he himself was broken
他幾乎像人類一樣，被拋棄了
Long before the sky would open
他像塊石頭一樣，沉入了你智慧的海洋
Forsaken, almost human
你想和他一起旅行
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
你想漫無目的的旅行
And you want to travel with him
也許你會信任他
And you want to travel blind
因他已用想像觸摸你完美的身體
And you think maybe you'll trust him
蘇珊娜拉著你的手
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
領你走向河邊
Now Suzanne takes your hand
她穿著的粗布麻衣
And she leads you to the river
是從救世軍那來的
She is wearing rags and feathers
陽光如蜜傾灑
From Salvation Army counters
滋潤著我們的河邊女士
And the sun pours down like honey
她指給你該看向何處
On our lady of the harbour
在垃圾與野花當中
And she shows you where to look
在海藻之間有許多英雄
Among the garbage and the flowers
清晨有許多孩童
There are heroes in the *******
他們伸手求愛
There are children in the morning
直到永恆
They are leaning out for love
蘇珊娜拿著鏡子
And they will lean that way forever
你想和她旅行
While Suzanne holds the mirror
你想漫無目的的旅行
And you want to travel with her
你知道你可以信任她
And you want to travel blind
因你已用想像觸摸她完美的身體
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
