Please Don't Pass Me By (A Disgrace) (Live)-Leonard Cohen

[00:00.000] 作词 : Leonard Cohen [00:00.097] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen [00:00.195]I was walking in New York City and I brushed up against the man in front of me. [00:04.442]I felt a cardboard placard on his back. [00:07.900]And when we passed a streetlight, I could read it, it said [00:10.820]"Please don't pass me by - I am blind, but you can see - [00:16.405]I've been blinded totally - Please don't pass me by." [00:20.917]I was walking along 7th Avenue, [00:24.397]when I came to 14th Street I saw on the corner curious mutilations of the human form; [00:29.185]it was a school for handicapped people. And there were cripples, [00:33.711]and people in wheelchairs and crutches and it was snowing, [00:37.169]and I got this sense that the whole city was singing this: [00:42.474]Oh please don't pass me by, [00:50.985]oh please don't pass me by, [00:59.487]for I am blind, but you can see, [01:07.461]yes, I've been blinded totally, [01:15.475]oh please don't pass me by. [01:22.647]And you know as I was walking I thought it was them who were singing it, [01:28.233]I thought it was they who were singing it, [01:31.163]I thought it was the other who was singing it, [01:33.566]I thought it was someone else. [01:35.149]But as I moved along I knew it was me, [01:39.181]and that I was singing it to myself. It went: [01:41.574]Please don't pass me by, [01:48.999]oh please don't pass me by, [01:56.976]for I am blind, but you can see, [02:04.967]well, I've been blinded totally, [02:13.194]oh please don't pass me by. [02:21.159]Oh please don't pass me by. [02:27.012]Now I know that you're sitting there deep in your velvet seats [02:32.858]and you're thinking "Uh, he's up there saying something that he thinks about, [02:40.297]but I'll never have to sing that song." [02:42.955]But I promise you friends, that you're going to be singing this song: [02:46.691]it may not be tonight, it may not be tomorrow, [02:50.687]but one day you'll be on your knees, [02:54.676]and I want you to know the words when the time comes. [02:58.925]Because you're going to have to sing it to yourself, [03:02.902]or to another, [03:05.291]or to your brother. [03:07.424]You're going to have to learn to sing this song, it goes: [03:12.991]Please don't pass me by, [03:20.182]ah you don't have to sing this .. not for you. [03:21.510]Please don't pass me by, [03:29.225]for I am blind, but you can see, [03:37.719]yes, I've been blinded totally, [03:45.947]oh please don't pass me by. [03:53.936]Well I sing this for the Jews and the Gypsies and the smoke that they made. [04:01.831]And I sing this for the children of England, their faces so grave. [04:10.326]And I sing this for a saviour with no one to save. [04:16.712]Hey, won't you be naked for me? [04:19.895]Hey, won't you be naked for me? It goes: [04:23.079]Please don't pass me by, [04:30.797]oh please don't pass me by, [04:39.295]for I am blind, but you can see, [04:47.511]yes, I've been blinded totally, [04:55.222]oh now, please don't pass me by. [05:03.491]Now there's nothing that I tell you that will help you connect [05:07.731]The blood tortured night with the day that comes next. [05:11.990]But I want it to hurt you, I want it to end. [05:15.967]Oh, won't you be naked for me? Oh now: [05:20.223]Please don't pass me by, [05:27.933]oh please don't pass me by, [05:36.187]for I am blind, but you can see, [05:44.360]but I've been blinded totally, [05:52.587]oh, please don't pass me by. [05:58.961]Well I sing this song for you Blonde Beasts, [06:02.144]I sing this song for you Venuses upon your shells on the foam of the sea. [06:08.524]And I sing this for the freaks and the cripples, and the hunchback, [06:14.668]and the burned, and the burning, and the maimed, and the broken, and the torn, [06:25.041]and all of those that you talk about at the coffee tables, [06:30.895]at the meetings, and the demonstrations, on the streets, [06:36.990]in your music, in my songs. [06:40.715]I mean the real ones that are burning, I mean the real ones that are burning [06:45.226]I say, please don't pass me by, [06:53.198]oh now, please don't pass me by, [07:01.435]for I am blind, yeah but you can see, [07:09.418]ah now, I've been blinded totally, [07:17.401]oh no, please don't pass me by.

[07:34.678]But I tell you friends that one day [07:37.880]You're going to get down on your knees, [07:42.131]you're going to get down on your knees, [07:46.115]you're going to get down on your knees, [07:50.081]you're going to get down on your knees, [07:54.335]you're going to get down on your knees, [07:58.328]you're going to get down on your knees, [08:02.572]you're going to get down on your knees, [08:06.821]you're going to get down on your knees, [08:10.807]you're going to get down ..
