蔗尾蜂房

晨歌
--Leonard Cohen, 羅浩原 譯

她夢見醫師們來了
將她雙腿從膝處截斷
她在早晨做了這個夢
在睡在我身旁一晚之後

如今我不在這場夢中
也不在被截肢者的哭喊中
但她在早晨對我說了這個夢
在睡在我身旁一晚之後


Morning Song

She dreamed the doctors arrived
And severed her legs at the knee.
This she dreamed on a morning
Of a night she slept beside me.

Now I was not in this dream
Or the cry of the amputee,
Yet she told me this on a morning
Of a night she slept beside me.

From The Spice-Box of Earth (1961)
