科恩的歌玄而有趣， 王小波式的有趣， 属灵的玄。 这一首并没有完全听懂， 勉强翻译了一下。
循你之路/莱昂纳德·科恩
循你之路穿越神坛和商场的废墟
循你之路穿越创世和堕落的寓言
循你之路越过在腐烂中建起的宫殿
年复一年
月复一月
日复一日
反复思量
循你之心越过昔日笃信的真理
比如基本的善良和智慧的含义
循你之心，珍贵的心，越过你获得的女人
年复一年
月复一月
日复一日
反复思量
循你之路穿越比你还真实的痛楚
粉碎了宇宙模型的痛楚，遮蔽了所有风景的痛楚
请不要让我去那里，虽然那里或有上帝
年复一年
月复一月
日复一日
反复思量
他们呆呆低语，受伤的石头， 磨蚀的群山在哭泣
当他以死让人类变得圣洁， 让我们以死把事物变得卑微
然后认罪， 虽然你已经逐渐忘记
年复一年
月复一月
日复一日
反复思量
循你之路，哦我的心，虽然我无权要求
向那个从未从未胜任的人
谁知道他已被定罪，谁知道他会被枪杀
年复一年
月复一月
日复一日
反复思量
Steer Your Way/Leonard Cohen
Steer your way through the ruins of the Altar and the Mall
Steer your way through the fables of Creation and the Fall
Steer your way past the Palaces that rise above the rot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your heart past the Truth you believed in yesterday
Such as Fundamental Goodness and the Wisdom of the Way
Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women whom you bought
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you
That has smashed the Cosmic Model, that has blinded every View
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
They whisper still, the injured stones, the blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa, which you've gradually forgot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask
To the one who was never never equal to the task
Who knows he's been convicted, who knows he will be shot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
