By the rivers dark--Leonard Cohen

一遍又一遍地,沉醉在缓缓的旋律中,沉醉在低沉的稳重的磁性的嗓音中。
第一次听Leonard Cohen的音乐,毫不犹豫地被他的声音吸引,整个耳朵里只有他在低低地声呤,配着舒缓的吉他,静下来,再静下来,凝声闭息,真怕一不小心,扰了他的低呤。而他不经意地一点而过依然地顾影自怜,只留着自己在那发呆。
Leonard Cohen是加拿大著名诗人和民谣歌手,在出唱片之前已經是一位在北美著名的作家、詩人與小說家。70岁,对于一个流行歌手来说,实在是个不可理喻的年龄,而在这个时候,Leonard Cohen发表了他的最新创作专辑。 1934年,Leonard Cohen出生在加拿大蒙特利尔一个犹太中产家庭,在他9岁时父亲(一个服装商)就去世了。13岁时,他第一次拿起吉他,目的是为了给某个女孩留下印象,但在一两年后,他就开始在当地的咖啡馆演唱自己的歌。后来,Cohen就读于McGill大学,主修英文。17岁那年,他组建了一支叫做the Buckskin Boys的3人西部乡村乐队,同时,他开始写诗。
在深夜,关上了窗,拉起厚厚的帘,只剩下一盏幽暗的灯。然后。 每一个人都有自己的秘密,也应该有自己的秘密生活,无论是精神上,还是物质上……这首In my secret life忧伤缓慢旋律,还有Leonard Cohen的浅吟低唱。正适合这样的时间,这样的空间,慢慢的品味……

By the rivers dark
By the rivers dark
I wandered on.
I lived my life
In Babylon.
And I did forget
My holy song:
And I had no strength
In Babylon.
By the rivers dark
Where I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me.
And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart.
So I could not drink
From the river dark.
And he covered me,
And I saw within,
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring,
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark
I panicked on.
I belonged at last
To Babylon.
Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force,
And he said, ‘This heart:
It is not yours.’
And he gave the wind
My wedding ring;
And he circled us
With everything.
By the rivers dark,
In a wounded dawn,
I live my life
In Babylon.
Though I take my song
From a withered limb,
Both song and tree,
They sing for him.
Be the truth unsaid
And the blessing gone,
If I forget
My Babylon.
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark,
Where it all goes on;
By the rivers dark
In Babylon.
