Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle

歌詞翻譯︰

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
寶貝我一直都在等待
日與夜我都在等待着
我沒有留意時間流過
我花了半生都在等待
曾經有過很多次邀請
我也知其中有些是你
但我推開仍然在等待
等那奇蹟踏進門來到

I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
我是知道你很喜歡我
但你看到我雙手被綁
我知道這事很傷你心
我知拿着號角和皮鼓
站在我家門前窗下時
是如何傷透你的尊嚴
而我就只在樓上房內
等待着奇蹟敲響我門

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
我知道你不喜歡這樣
你並不會喜歡在這裏
這兒沒有任何好娛樂
而評價嚴苛也不好聽
在你等待時響起伴樂
等待着奇蹟輕步而來
指揮說這首是莫札特
聽來卻像破潰口香糖

Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.
沒有任何其他事可做
一直等待着奇蹟來臨
自從二次大戰結束後
我從沒有這麼快樂過

Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.
當你知道你已有所屬
就沒任何其他事可做
當你在乞討餘食殘羹
就沒空做任何其他事
當你要等那奇蹟前來
就沒心做任何其他事

I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come
我在夢中見到你寶貝
就是在隔天那個晚上
你身上沒掛多少衣服
但餘下的幾處也薄透
在你指間隙縫的時間
緩緩地從砂漏內瀉下
而你仍然坐着在等待
那奇蹟慢慢走來找你

Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
啊寶貝我們來結婚吧
我們孤獨太長時間了
讓我一起感到孤獨吧
來看看我們是多堅強
當我們在一起等待那
那奇蹟找上我們之時
就來做點瘋狂的事吧
一些絕對錯的瘋狂事

Nothing left to do ...
當沒任何其他事可做……

When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
當你在公路上倒下時
而你躺在路上被雨灑
他們問你過得如何時
你當然會說你沒怨言
當你被盤問知道什麼
你就要裝傻詐作無知
你就說在外面等待着
那份奇蹟到來找上你
