Last Year's Man-Leonard Cohen

[00:00.000] 作词 : Leonard Cohen [00:00.566] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen [00:01.133]The rain falls down on last year's man, [00:08.139]that's a Jew's harp on the table, [00:11.493]that's a crayon in his hand. [00:20.08]And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled [00:24.759]far past the stems of thumbtacks [00:28.262]that still throw shadows on the wood. [00:32.816]And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend [00:40.923]and all the rain falls down amen [00:50.977]on the works of last year's man. [01:02.786]I met a lady,she was playing with her soldiers in the dark [01:12.693]oh one by one she had to tell them [01:18.594]that her name was Joan of Arc. [01:26.396]I was in that army,yes I stayed a little while; [01:33.352]I want to thank you,Joan of Arc, [01:42.355]for treating me so well. [01:48.208]And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight; [01:57.710]all these wounded boys you lie beside, [02:03.565]goodnight,my friends,goodnight. [02:13.528]I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived; [02:24.181]Bethlehem the bridegroom, [02:29.282]Babylon the bride. [02:34.84]Great Babylon was naked,oh she stood there trembling for me, [02:45.188]and Bethlehem inflamed us both [02:48.390]like the shy one at some orgy. [02:54.443]And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil [03:04.696]that I had to draw aside to see [03:10.646]the serpent eat its tail. [03:19.550]Some women wait for Jesus,and some women wait for Cain [03:28.355]so I hang upon my altar [03:33.205]and I voice my acts again. [03:39.56]And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began [03:49.259]when Jesus was the honeymoon [03:55.681]and Cain was just the man. [03:59.830]And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin [04:10.551]that the wilderness is gathering [04:15.111]all its children back again. [04:23.962]The rain falls down on last year's man, [04:34.715]an hour has gone by [04:38.816]and he has not moved his hand. [04:45.567]But everything will happen if he only gives the word; [04:55.268]the lovers will rise up [04:58.468]and the mountains touch the ground. [05:04.521]But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend [05:15.272]and all the rain falls down amen [05:21.973]on the works of last year's man.
