Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:01.00] 作词 : Leonard Cohen
[00:06.98]
[00:07.46] Many men have loved the bells
[00:11.33] You fastened to the rein,
[00:16.39] And everyone who wanted you
[00:20.16] They found what they will always want again.
[00:27.72] Your beauty lost to you yourself
[00:31.27] Just as it was lost to them.
[00:34.59]
[00:36.14] Oh take this longing from my tongue,
[00:40.51] Whatever useless things these hands have done.
[00:45.97] Let me see your beauty broken down
[00:49.96] Like you would do for one you love.
[00:59.47]
[01:03.89] Your body like a searchlight
[01:08.60] My poverty revealed,
[01:13.45] I would like to try your charity
[01:17.87] Until you cry, "now you must try my greed."
[01:25.38] And everything depends upon
[01:28.88] How near you sleep to me
[01:31.80]
[01:33.66] Just take this longing from my tongue
[01:38.85] All the lonely things my hands have done.
[01:43.68] Let me see your beauty broken down
[01:48.41] Like you would do for one your love.
[01:56.19]
[02:01.34] Hungry as an archway
[02:05.85] Through which the troops have passed,
[02:10.62] I stand in ruins behind you,
[02:13.99] With your winter clothes, your broken sandal straps.
[02:22.59] I love to see you naked over there
[02:26.83] Especially from the back.
[02:29.33]
[02:31.00] Oh take this longing from my tongue,
[02:36.01] All the useless things my hands have done,
[02:40.54] Untie for me your hired blue gown,
[02:46.82] Like you would do for one that you love.
[02:53.96]
[02:57.93] You're faithful to the better man,
[03:02.75] I'm afraid that he left.
[03:07.35] So let me judge your love affair
[03:10.85] In this very room where i have sentenced
[03:15.04] Mine to death.
[03:19.00] I'll even wear these old laurel leaves
[03:22.46] That he's shaken from his head.
[03:25.74]
[03:27.29] Just take this longing from my tongue,
[03:32.34] All the useless things my hands have done,
[03:36.94] Let me see your beauty broken down,
[03:41.45] Like you would do for one you love.
[03:51.51] Like you would do for one you love.
[03:59.56]
