蔗尾蜂房

  
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)

你撕開你的襯衫
--Leonard Cohen, 羅浩原 譯
你撕開你的襯衫
向我秀出
你受過創傷的地方
我只得瞠目凝視
我將我的手放到
我所看之處
抽回來時
竟是一隻爪子
你的肌膚被治癒了
你縫好你的襯衫
丟食物給我
並幫我換砂
You Tore Your Shirt
You tore your shirt
to show me where
you had been hurt
I had to stare
I put my hand
on what I saw
I draw it back
It was a claw
Your skin is cured
You sew your shirt
You throw me food
and change my dirt
From The Energy of Slaves (1972)
Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs, New York: Pantheon Books, 1993, p.169.

你的雙眼
--Leonard Cohen, 羅浩原 譯
你的雙眼非常強勁
企圖癱瘓我
你將全身的氣力都放在
你的雙眼
只因你不知道
該如何成為一位英雄
你誤認了你的理想
你渴望變成的
不叫英雄
叫霸王
因而你這弱點
成了你最吸引人的特質
我對你毫無所圖
你危險的黑色雙眼
緊盯著離你最近的少女
或最近的鏡子
當你滿懷希望地去做
一個表白接另一個表白
Your Eyes
Your eyes are very strong
They try to cripple me
You put all your strength
into your eyes
because you do not know
how to be a hero
You have mistaken your ideal
It is not a hero
but a tyrant
you long to become
Therefore weakness
is your most attractive quality
I have no plans for you
Your dangerous black eyes
fasten on the nearest girl
or the nearest mirror
as you go hopefully
from profession to profession
From The Energy of Slaves (1972)
Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs, New York:
Pantheon Books, 1993, p.183.
