LEONARD COHEN: In My Secret Life

　

In My Secret Life
LEONARD COHEN

In my secrete life
I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In My Secret Life.

I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.

回复苏乡门地的评论:

高兴你喜欢。Leonard 的声音深沉、苍老，听来犹如重锤击鼓，第一次听时心里咯噔了一下，很震惊。有如此震撼力的嗓音不多啊。歌词里可能是渗透了他自己的生活经历，据说他喜欢独居。他还是一个多才多艺的人，小说、诗歌、音乐，样样都行，难怪歌词写的那么有味道，那种情绪只有有智慧的人才能在生话中体悟到并通过诗与音乐传达出来。突然有一怪念头，把他和另一位 Cohen（Roger Cohen）放在一起很合适。 :-)

周末愉快！

对这支歌曲并不熟悉，但知道Everybody Knows 和 hallelujah，尤其是当年Kd吟唱的后面这首，很深刻。

匆匆听了一段他的采访录，里面很谦虚地说感到自己的声音disagreeable，我倒觉得正相反，LEONARD的声音是很低沉，但是带着磁性甚至性感，要耐心品味，越听越令人沉醉，所以干脆又听了他自己唱hallelujah。 谢谢你的推荐，he is gifted, another a man of substance:))

周末愉快！
