《Treaty》Leonard Cohen



I've seen you change the water into wine
I've seen you change it back to water, too
I sit at your table every night
I try but I just don't get high with you
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine

你把水變成酒
又把酒變成水
整夜坐在你桌前
試著與你同歡
是否有你我能簽訂的條約
不在乎誰拿走這塊該死的地方
疲倦又憤怒
只希望立個條約,有個條約
你我的愛

Ah, they're dancing in the street — it's Jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me

喔,他們在街頭跳舞 -
我們為愛出賣自己 而現在我們自由了
抱歉我將你變成了幻影
你我之間只有一種真實 由我決定


I haven't said a word since you been gone
That any liar couldn't say as well
I just can't believe the static coming on
You were my ground, my safe and sound
You were my aerial

你走後我一句不說
就算騙子也有沈默的時候
我對著靜電噪音不能置信
你是我的依據,我的安全地
我的天線

Ah, the fields are crying out — it's Jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me

啊全地又開始呼喊 - 慶典又來
我們為愛出賣自己 而現在重獲自由
抱歉我將你變成了幻影
你我之間只有一種真實 由我決定

I heard the snake was baffled by his sin
He shed his scales to find the snake within
But born again is born without a skin
The poison enters into everything

我聽說毒蛇為自己的罪而困惑
他蛻下皮為了找到裡面的自己
但重生意味著赤裸而生
毒藥終究浸染了所有

And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty
Between your love and mine

是否有你我能簽訂的條約
我不在乎誰拿走這塊該死的地方
總是疲倦又憤怒
只希望立個條約,有個條約
你我的愛之間
