So long, Marianne 

詞曲唱：Leonard Cohen

Would you come over to the window, my little darling

I'd like to try to read your palm.

I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy

Before I let you take me home
 

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

Well you know that I love to live with you

But you make me forget so very much

I forget to pray for the angels

And then the angels forget to pray for us
 

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

We met when we were almost young

Deep in the green lilac park

You held on to me like I was a crucifix

As we went kneeling through the dark
 

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

Your letters they all say that you're beside me now

Then why do I feel alone

I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web

Is fastening my ankle to a stone


Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

For now I need your hidden love

I'm cold as a new razor blade

You left when I told you I was curious

I never said that I was brave
 

Oh so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

Oh, you are really such a pretty one

I see you've gone and changed your name again

And just when I climbed this whole mountain side

To wash my eyelids in the rain
 

Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began

To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
 

 

再會了，瑪莉安


能否來我窗邊一下，我的小可愛
我想讀讀看妳的掌紋
在妳把我帶回家之前
我一度以為自己是那種吉普賽男兒 
 

再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切 
 

呃，妳知道我愛與妳一起生活
但妳讓我忘記太多事情
忘記為天使祈禱
然後天使忘記為我們代禱 
 

再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切 
 

我們相遇在還算年輕的歲月
紫丁香花園的綠蔭深處
我們在黑暗中匍匐而行
妳緊攀著我，視我如靈魂之救贖 
 

喔，再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切 
 

妳信中總說妳正與我同在
而我為何仍然感覺孤單
我站在窗邊，妳用妳細密的蛛網
將我腳踝緊緊綁住一塊石頭 
 

再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切 
 

只因現在，我需要妳內斂的愛
我感覺的冷，猶如新刀片在割著
妳離去，因我坦誠自己的好奇
對當時的勇敢卻封口不提
 

喔，再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切 
 

啊，妳真是個小美人
爬過整整一面山
又任雨水沖洗我的眼瞼後
我終於明白妳已離去
再度變更了姓氏
 

再會了，瑪莉安，此刻我們可以
再次哭哭笑笑地看待過去一切
