Chelsea Hotel
Chelsea Hotel #2
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
by Leonard Cohen
那是很久以前，我在纽约的电梯中遇到一位年轻美丽的女人。此前我在每天凌晨三点遇到她。我终于鼓足勇气跟她说：“你在寻找什么吗？”她说：“是的，我在寻找。”从她的语气中我听出，她并不打算搞清楚这是她内心的不满足，而她真的在身外寻找。我说：“你在找谁？还是在找什么？”她说：“克里斯·克里斯多弗森。”我说：“我就是克里斯·克里斯多弗森。”那时我欺骗了她很多个晚上。这位美丽的女人就是JANIS JOPLIN。
……我清楚地记得你，在切尔西酒店。你的谈吐如此大胆和甜蜜，你从零乱的床上探出头，而此时豪华轿车正等在街上。那就是为什么是纽约，我们为金钱和肉欲奔波。那被叫做爱，做歌人的爱，也许现在还是，对那些留下的人。但你离开了，不是吗，亲爱的？ 你蓦然回身，离群而去。
