Heart with No Companion

Heart With No Companion - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

Now I greet you from the other

Side of sorrow and despair

With a love so vast

And so shattered it will reach you everywhere

And I sing this for the captain whose

Ship has not been built

For the mother in

Confusion her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion

For the soul without a king for the prima

Ballerina who cannot dance to anything

Through the days of shame that are coming

Through the nights of wild distress

Though your promise count for nothing

You must keep it nonetheless

You must keep it for the captain whose

Ship has not been built

For the mother in

Confusion her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion

For the soul without a king for the prima

Ballerina who cannot dance to anything

Now I greet you from the other

Side of sorrow and despair

With a love so vast

And so shattered

It will reach you everywhere
