It’s four in the morning, the end of December
I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you’re building
your little house deep in the desert
You’re living for nothing now;
I hope you’re keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You’d been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman
to a flake of your life
And when she came back
she was nobody’s wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane’s awake
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I’m glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I’ve never tried
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
——Sincerely, L .Cohen | n***s

歌者其实就是信的那个，我
Jane当然是lover
但是那个神秘的my brother，my killer，
为什么是Killer? 他和Jane到底发生了什么？
Lili Marlene？是不是二战老兵？clear什么？
最后发现，其实我就是killer brother!
Psycho!

贴两个版本吧：
Cohen为Jennifer Warnes制作的《Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard
Cohen》,据说比Cohen自己的任何一张专辑卖得都好：
Cohen为Warnes这个版本修改了一些歌词，没那么cynical，但是情感冲突也弱了很多。
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert
Are you living for nothing now, hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
But she never turned up I'm Lili Marlene
And you treated some woman to a flake of your life
And when she got home she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with a rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad that you stood in my way.
And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
I want you to know your enemy's sleeping, I want you to know your woman is
free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never really tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear
Sincerely, a friend
还有一个Tori Amos的版本：
另外，据说这件famous blue raincoat是burberry的。。。

发帖数: 15642 | 11 刚刚发现Joan Beaz也唱过这首歌：
觉得这几个版本各有千秋，最令人沉醉的还是cohen本人的版本，warnes的声音很适合
这个歌的情调，可是我不太喜欢改了歌词的版本。tori amos很深情，对这首歌来说有
点过于深情了，呵呵。
顺便贴Joan Beaz另外一首有故事的歌，Diamonds and rust，据说是为了bob dylan写
的。。。这是1975年的一个现场版本，挺有意思的：
Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
Robin's eggs就是旅鸫的蛋，American Robin，红肚子黑背的鸟儿，住在北方的人肯定
都见过。。。纽约不一定，哈哈。旅鸫的蛋是一种很漂亮的天蓝色，以前在我家窗台上
的鸟巢里见过。这首歌我特喜欢最后一句，And if you're offering me diamonds and
rust, I've already paid，寸步不让，呵呵。 |
