A Song for Leonard Cohen

I wish that I could buy you a drink
我願予你一杯清酒
And then more and then five
斟酌再續擊掌問候
I'd get you drunk and I'd get me outgoing
酒酣微醺與我同遊
All week or just this one night
一周相邀一晚可否
And then, maybe, we could go for a walk
或許此後一起漫步
And I'd just listen while you talk
側耳傾聽且談且走

我神遊天外邀你帶我
My imagination slips, then I have you taking
去巴塞羅那共度週末
Me to Barcelona for the weekend
你向我訴說菲爾舉著手槍
You described the night
為你滿上酒杯的那場晚宴
Phil Spector , with his revolver, served you ceremonial wine
我們將會以希臘神話為喻
We'd compare mythologies
為那些不能相信的朋友乾杯
And toast those friends that never believed
我們的聲音永遠有著太多需要訴說
That our voices ever had much to offer
或許此後一起漫步
And then, maybe, we could go for a walk
側耳傾聽且談且走
And I'd just listen while you talk
我願予你一杯清酒

斟酌再續擊掌問候
I wish that I could buy you a drink
一晚之後
And then more and then five
我碰巧丟了錢包
At the end of a night
你最終為我買單
I'd conveniently misplace my wallet
我們將會以希臘神話為喻
And you would wind up buying all of mine
為那些不能相信的朋友乾杯
We'd compare mythologies
我們的聲音永遠有著太多需要訴說
And toast those friends that never believed
或許此後一起漫步
That our voices ever had much to offer
側耳傾聽且談且走
And then, maybe, we would go for a walk
你遙指港灣
And I'd just listen while you talk
月光依著水波

小船靠著船塢
You'd point to the harbour
穿透黑暗人影相交
And the moonlight against the water
側耳傾聽且談且走
The little boats against the dock
穿透黑暗人影相交
And through the dark our shadows then might get along
側耳傾聽且談且走
And I'd just listen while we walk
And through the dark our shadows then might get along
And I’d just listen while you talk
