《The Traitor》歌词

[00:00:00] The Traitor - Leonard Cohen

[00:00:22] Now the swan it floated

[00:00:25] On the english river

[00:00:32] Ah the rose of high romance

[00:00:37] It opened wide

[00:00:42] A sun tanned woman yearned me

[00:00:46] Through the summer

[00:00:51] And the judges watched us

[00:00:54] From the other side

[00:01:01] I told my mother mother

[00:01:05] I must leave you

[00:01:10] Preserve my room

[00:01:12] But do not shed a tear

[00:01:19] Should rumour of a shabby

[00:01:24] Ending reach you

[00:01:28] It was half my fault

[00:01:31] And half the atmosphere

[00:01:38] But the rose I sickened

[00:01:41] With a scarlet fever

[00:01:47] And the swan I tempted

[00:01:50] With a sense of shame

[00:01:57] She said at last

[00:01:59] I was her finest lover

[00:02:06] And if she withered

[00:02:08] I would be to blame

[00:02:16] The judges said you missed it

[00:02:21] By a fraction

[00:02:25] Rise up and brace

[00:02:27] Your troops for the attack

[00:02:34] Ah the dreamers ride

[00:02:37] Against the men of action

[00:02:43] Oh see the men of action

[00:02:48] Falling back

[00:02:52] But I lingered on her thighs

[00:02:56] A fatal moment

[00:03:02] I kissed her lips

[00:03:04] As though I thirsted still

[00:03:11] My falsity had stung me

[00:03:15] Like a hornet

[00:03:20] The poison sank

[00:03:21] And it paralysed my will

[00:03:29] I could not move to warn

[00:03:32] All the younger soldiers

[00:03:37] That they had been

[00:03:40] Deserted from above

[00:03:46] So on battlefields

[00:03:49] From here to barcelona

[00:03:55] I'm listed with the enemies of love

[00:04:07] And long ago she said

[00:04:10] I must be leaving

[00:04:16] Ah but keep my body here to lie upon

[00:04:25] You can move it up

[00:04:27] And down and when I'm sleeping

[00:04:34] Run some wire through

[00:04:37] That rose and wind the swan

[00:04:44] So daily I renew my idle duty

[00:04:53] I touch her here and there

[00:04:57] I know my place

[00:05:02] I kiss her open mouth

[00:05:05] And I praise her beauty

[00:05:10] And people call me traitor to my face
