Sing Another Song, Boys - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

Ah his fingernails

I see they're broken

His ships they're all on fire

The moneylender's lovely

Little daughter

Ah she's eaten

She's eaten with desire

She spies him through the glasses

From the pawnshops

Of her wicked father

She hails him with a microphone

That some poor singer just like me

Had to leave her

She tempts him with a clarinet

She waves a Nazi dagger

She finds him lying in a heap;

She wants to be his woman

He says "Yes I just might go to sleep

But kindly leave leave the future

Leave it open "

He stands where it is steep

Oh I guess he thinks

That he's the very first one

His hand upon his leather belt now

Like it was the wheel

Of some big ocean liner

And she will learn to touch

Herself so well

As all the sails burn down like paper

And he has lit the chain

Of his famous cigarillo

Ah they'll never

They'll never ever reach the moon

At least not the one that we're after;

It's floating broken on the open sea

Look out there my friends

And it carries no survivors

But let's leave these lovers wondering

Why they cannot have each other

And let's sing another song boys

This one has grown old and bitter
