The Letters — Leonard Cohen
《给你的信》莱昂纳德·科恩
You never liked to get the letters that I sent
你从来就不想收到我给你的信
But now you've got the gist of what my letters meant
但是你现在终于找到我信里真实的含义
You're reading them again, the ones you didn't burn
你把那些你没烧掉的信翻出来重读一遍
You press them to your lips, my pages of concern
你吻了吻我的信,那里有充满关怀的话
I said there'd been a flood
我告诉你这儿发生了水灾
I said there's nothing left
我告诉你什么都没留下
I hoped that you would come
我想着你会来这儿
I gave you my address

Your story was so long

The plot was so intense

It took you years to cross the lines of self-defense

The wounded forms appear
受伤的形象渐渐浮现
The loss, the full extent
失落达到最大极限
And simple kindness here
还有简单的温柔
The solitude of strength

I said there'd been a flood
我告诉你这儿发生了水灾
I said there's nothing left
我告诉你什么都没留下
I hoped that you would come
我想着你会来这儿
I gave you my address
我给你留了地址
You walk into my room

You stand there at my desk

Begin your letter to the one who's coming next

The one who's coming next
