[One Night I Burned 有天晚上我烧了] #Leonard Cohen
有天晚上我烧了喜爱的房子
火焰将房子绕成完美的圆
我在其中看见杂草与石头
除此之外，什么都没有看见
One night I burned the house I loved,
It lit a perfect ring
In which I saw some weeds and stone
Beyond – not anything.
某种属于天空的生物
被夜晚吓著了
牠们再次出来观看世界
而在火光中毁灭
Certain creatures of the air
Frightened by the night,
They came to see the world again
And perished in the light.
现在我从天空航向天空
所有的黑暗的眷属
在我以残缺之翼造的船边
歌唱
Now I sail from sky to sky
And all the blackness sings
Against the boat that I have made
Of mutilated wings.
