Suddenly the night has grown colder
　　夜好像一下子变冷了
　　The god of love preparing to depart
　　爱情即将启程离我远去了
　　Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder
　　再用力抱一下Alexandra
　　They slip between the sentries of the heart
　　再一起默默走完心灵上最后的路吧
　　
　　Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure
　　在纯真的欢乐中
　　They gain the light, they formlessly entwine
　　他们光彩照人，却又若即若离
　　And radiant beyond your

Alexandra Leaving歌词

Leonard Cohen

[00:01.48]Suddenly the night has grown colder.
[00:10.04]The god of love preparing to depart.
[00:18.86]Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
[00:26.56]They slip between the sentries of the heart.
[00:33.10]
[00:33.75]Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
[00:42.08]They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
[00:51.22]And radiant beyond your widest measure
[00:59.65]They fall among the voices and the wine.
[01:05.90]
[01:08.22]It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
[01:16.66]A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
[01:25.31]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
[01:33.81]Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
[01:40.17]
[01:43.22]Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[01:51.52]Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[01:59.81]Do not say the moment was imagined;
[02:08.03]Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[02:14.50]
[02:16.17]As someone long prepared for this to happen,
[02:24.38]Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
[02:31.33]Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
[02:40.65]Your first commitments tangible again.
[02:47.36]
[02:49.67]And you who had the honor of her evening,
[02:58.23]And by that honor had your own restored –
[03:06.46]Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
[03:15.87]Alexandra leaving with her lord.
[03:21.60]
[03:22.56]Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
[03:31.53]Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
[03:39.05]Do not say the moment was imagined;
[03:47.35]Do not stoop to strategies like this.
[03:56.00]
[03:57.65]As someone long prepared for the occasion;
[04:05.84]In full command of every plan you wrecked –
[04:14.27]Do not choose a coward’s explanation
[04:22.49]that hides behind the cause and the effect.
[04:28.17]
[04:29.16]And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:29.24]
[04:29.62]And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
[04:37.46]Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
[04:45.89]Say goodbye to Alexandra
