A Thousand Kisses Deep

千吻之深

作者：莱昂纳德·科恩 翻译：周志轶

The ponies run, the girls are young

小马疾奔，女孩们正青春

The odds are there to beat

前途充满不定与变数

You win a while, and then it’s done

你才小赢，却旋即结束

Your little winning streak

你就一点点的好运

And summoned now to deal

你现在受召，必须面对…

With your invincible defeat

你如排山倒海般的溃败

You live your life as if it’s real

你汲汲营营，彷佛生活是真

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深

I’m turning tricks，I’m getting fixed

我正舞动长袖，我越陷越深

I’m back on boogie street

我又回到滚滚红尘

You lose your grip，and then you slip

你失去重心，你大意失足

Into the masterpiece

踉跄跌进那部旷世巨著

And maybe I had miles to drive

也许我还有迢迢长路

And promises to keep

还有应允过的无数承诺

You ditch it all to stay alive

但为求保身，你得全部舍弃

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深

And sometimes when the night is slow

有时，当长夜漫漫

The wretched and the meek

贫苦与软弱的人们啊——

We gather up our hearts and go

聚拢我们的心，走吧

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深

Confined to sex，we pressed against

拘囿在性爱里，我们不断探求

The limits of the sea

想跨越大海最远的疆界

I saw there were no oceans left

直到我发觉再没有大洋——

For scavengers like me

为我这样一个拾荒者而存留

I made it to the forward deck

我费力走上前甲板

I blessed our remnant fleet

给我们残破的船队致以最后的祝福

And then consented to be wrecked

并同意被摧毁击沉

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深

I’m turning tricks，I’m getting fixed

我正舞动长袖，我越陷越深

I’m back on boogie street

我又回到滚滚红尘

I guess they won’t exchange the gifts

我猜他们不会掉换——

That you were meant to keep

原本属于你的礼物

And quiet is the thought of you

静谥是我对你的思念

The file on you complete

为你建立的档案已经完成

Except what we forgot to do

除了我们忘了去做的那部分

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深

And sometimes when the night is slow

有时，当长夜漫漫

The wretched and the meek

贫苦与软弱的人们啊——

We gather up our hearts and go

聚拢我们的心，走吧

A thousand kisses deep

在这千吻之深
