《颂歌》莱昂纳德·科恩

The birds they sang at the break of day.

破晓时分，鸟声阵阵。

Start again I heard them say:Don't dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be.我听它们开始唱：不要沉湎于过去，不要为未发生的事情担心。

Ah the wars they will be fought again.

战争将再次来临。

She will be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.

和平鸽将失去自由，被抓去、被贩卖。

Ring the bells that still can ring.

钟声阵阵。

Forget your perfect offering.

忘了你现有的。

There is a crack in everything，that's how the light gets in.

万物皆有裂痕，那是光进来的地方

We asked for signs,the signs were sent:the birth betrayed,the marriage spent，the widowhood of every government --signs for all to see.

每个国家中出生、婚姻、寡居就是我们祈求的信号。

I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud.

凶手在高处高声祷告，我在拥挤的人群中艰难前行。

But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me.闷雷打断了他们的祷告，开始听我说：

You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum,你能组装，但无法掌握要点，

You can strike up the march,there is no drum.你能出征，但没有鼓声壮行。

Eve
