you have to kind of go somewhere very, very quiet.

And they did that...

where people would isolate themselves...

go off into the wilderness and, you know, listen very hard.

quite to that extent...
走到那一步吧
but he's the man for me who's like...
但对我来说 他就是那个…
comes down from the mountaintop...
从山顶上走下来
with the tablets of stone, you know...
带着石板的人
having been up there and talking to the angels.

We kind of came out of the same city.

You know, lots of--

and I'm sure when Leonard was growing up...
我想里奥纳德小时候
probably a lot of nuns in habits...
估计也有很多穿着袍子的修女
walking around that you don't see so much today.

I didn't, you know...

Now the incredible Beth Orton.
Oh, the sisters of mercy
They're not departed or gone
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh, I hope you run into them
You, who've been traveling so long
La-la la-la la-la
La-la laa
Yes, you, who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it moves 'round to your soul
Well, I've been where you're hangin'
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that you've sinned
La-la la-la la-la
La-la laa
Well, they lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
And they touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hems
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
La-la la-la la-la
La-la laa
When I left, they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the light
You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous
If I hear that they've sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And, besides, it would still be all right
We weren't lovers like that
And, besides, it would still be all right
Thank you.

I remember you well
At the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousine's waiting in the street
Those were the reasons
And that was New York
We were running for the money and the flesh
That was called love
For the workers in song
Probably still is for those of them left
Ah, but you got away
Didn't you, babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away
I never once heard you say
I need you
I don't need you
I need you
I don't need you
And all of that jivin' around
I remember you well
In the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous
Your heart was a legend
You told me again
You prefer handsome men
But for me, you would make an exception
And clenching your fist
For all the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said
Well, never mind
We are ugly, but we have the music
Ah, but you got away
Didn't you, babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away
I never once heard you say
I need you
I don't need you
I need you
I don't need you
And all of that jivin' around
I don't mean to suggest
That I loved you the best
You can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well
At the Chelsea Hotel
That's all
I don't even think of you that often
Certainly, growing up in Montreal, there was--
我在蒙特利尔长大 那里 肯定的
everybody knew-.
所有人都知道他
I mean, the name Leonard Cohen...

was spoken frequently with reverence.

Jesus was a sailor.

In his lonely wooden tower...
在他孤独的木塔里
only drowning men could see him.
只有快淹死的人能看见他”
（-摘自《苏珊娜》歌词）
There was a woman named Suzanne...
确实有一个叫苏珊娜的女人
who was the wife of a friend of mine--
当时是我一个朋友的妻子
Armand Vaillancourt, who is a great Montreal sculptor.
阿曼德•瓦扬古 蒙特利尔一位很杰出的雕塑家

and she did serve me Constant Comment tea...

You know? That wasn't remotely what happened.
你懂吧 两者区别很大
I mean, it didn't have anything-
除了她的名字苏珊娜
Beside, you know, the fact that her name was Suzanne...
河边的房子 茶和橙子
the place was by the river and tea and oranges.
没别的纪实的描述了
There were elements of the real evening...

in the song, but...

Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
Do you know that she's half crazy?
That's why you want to be there
She feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
Just when you meant to tell her
You have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
She lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she won't trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
He spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
He himself was broken
Long before the sky was open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body
With his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
She leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
The sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look now
Upon the garbage and her flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love now
And they'll lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she won't trust you
For she's touched your perfect body
With her mind
Thank you. Thank you.
My real introduction to him strangely enough came...
我真正接触到他的作品 有点奇怪
because I was a Phil Spector fan...

They'll never catch us
No, no, no
But if they do
You can just tell them it was me
Yeah, it was me
Oh, I loved you all my life
And that's the way I want to end it
The summer's almost gone
And the winter's tuning up

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell
On what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Oh, the wars
They will be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
And bought and sold and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells
That still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
The widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned
They've summoned up a thunder cloud
They're gonna hear from me
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
You won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
