音樂竄過我們身旁

--Leonard Cohen, 羅浩原 譯

我想要留言提醒
管理階層
這裡的酒都摻了水
管衣帽間的那個女生
患有梅毒
樂團的組成份子
全是前納粹黨衛軍妖孽
不過,既然現在是
跨年夜
而我又有唇癌
我會戴好
紙帽在我的
腦震盪上然後去跳舞


The Music Crept by Us

I would like to remind
the management
that the drinks are watered
and the hat-check girl
has syphilis
and the band is composed
of former SS monsters
However since it is
New Year’s Eve
And I have lip cancer
I will place my
paper hat on my
concussion and dance


From Flowers for Hitler (1964)

Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs, New York: Pantheon Books, 1993, p.58.
