Villanelle For Our Time - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

From bitter searching of the heart

Quickened with passion and with pain

We rise to play a greater part

This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart

We loved the easy and the smart

But now with keener hand and brain

We rise to play a greater part

The lesser loyalties depart

And neither race nor creed remain

From bitter searching of the heart

Not steering by the venal chart

That tricked the mass for private gain

We rise to play a greater part

Reshaping narrow law and art

Whose symbols are the millions slain

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

The lesser loyalties depart

And neither race nor creed remain

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

Reshaping narrow law and art

Whose symbols are the millions slain

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part

Not steering by the venal chart

That tricked the mass for private gain

We rise we rise to play a greater part

Reshaping narrow law and art

Whose symbols are the millions slain

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part
