[00:00.00] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:01.00] 作词 : Leonard Cohen
[00:22.430] Now the swan it floated
[00:24.940] On the english river
[00:28.450]
[00:31.790] Ah the rose of high romance
[00:35.650]
[00:36.760] It opened wide
[00:38.200]
[00:41.890] A sun tanned woman yearned me
[00:46.200] Through the summer
[00:47.660]
[00:50.930] And the judges watched us
[00:53.940] From the other side
[00:57.480]
[01:00.880] I told my mother mother
[01:04.310]
[01:05.190] I must leave you
[01:07.430]
[01:10.300] Preserve my room
[01:12.540] But do not shed a tear
[01:16.530]
[01:19.600] Should rumour of a shabby
[01:23.810] Ending reach you
[01:25.880]
[01:28.480] It was half my fault
[01:31.290] And half the atmosphere
[01:34.870]
[01:38.010] But the rose I sickened
[01:41.030] With a scarlet fever
[01:44.120]
[01:47.390] And the swan I tempted
[01:50.240] With a sense of shame
[01:53.630]
[01:56.810] She said at last
[01:59.280] I was her finest lover
[02:02.090]
[02:06.130] And if she withered
[02:08.590] I would be to blame
[02:11.670]
[02:16.060] The judges said you missed it
[02:19.510]
[02:20.770] By a fraction
[02:21.890]
[02:25.390] Rise up and brace
[02:27.690] Your troops for the attack
[02:30.880]
[02:34.100] Ah the dreamers ride
[02:36.820] Against the men of action
[02:40.510]
[02:43.690] Oh see the men of action
[02:47.030]
[02:47.830] Falling back
[02:49.080]
[02:52.500] But I lingered on her thighs
[02:56.300] A fatal moment
[02:59.070]
[03:01.890] I kissed her lips
[03:04.090] As though I thirsted still
[03:07.310]
[03:10.850] My falsity had stung me
[03:14.730] Like a hornet
[03:16.620]
[03:19.710] The poison sank
[03:21.620] And it paralysed my will
[03:25.370]
[03:28.750] I could not move to warn
[03:31.760] All the younger soldiers
[03:35.010]
[03:37.600] That they had been
[03:39.800] Deserted from above
[03:43.100]
[03:46.020] So on battlefields
[03:48.780] From here to barcelona
[03:52.350]
[03:55.530] I'm listed with the enemies of love
[04:00.970]
[04:06.870] And long ago she said
[04:10.240] I must be leaving
[04:13.420]
[04:16.100] Ah but keep my body here to lie upon
[04:22.270]
[04:25.160] You can move it up
[04:27.390] And down and when I'm sleeping
[04:32.470]
[04:34.180] Run some wire through
[04:36.760] That rose and wind the swan
[04:40.570]
[04:43.720] So daily I renew my idle duty
[04:49.680]
[04:52.730] I touch her here and there
[04:55.720]
[04:56.820] I know my place
[04:58.540]
[05:01.720] I kiss her open mouth
[05:04.750] And I praise her beauty
[05:08.770]
[05:10.680] And people call me traitor to my face
