的语言,如果你想向女人们表达自己,你就不得不去学会这种语言。”但科恩自己不是一个好情人,他似乎看穿了男女之情,所以,他只会把男女之间微妙的关系写到他的诗或歌词中,比如《再见,玛丽安娜》(So Long, Marianne)、《苏珊娜》(Suzanne)和《我是你的男人》(I'm Your Man),也正如他在《我是你的男人》中描述的一样:
如果你需要一位爱人,
我可以为你赴汤蹈火。
如果你需要不一样的爱,
我可以为你戴上面具。
如果你需要一个伴侣,
牵我的手吧。
如果你不揍我怒气难消,
我定会站在你面前,
因为我是你的男人。
……
月光太明亮,
枷锁太沉重,
心中的猛兽迟迟不肯睡去。
我忆起了给你的承诺,
那些从未实现的诺言。
啊,假如男人低声下气就能挽回女人的心,
宝贝,我会爬到你跟前。
我会拜倒在你的裙下,
我会为你的美丽嚎叫,
就像发情的野狗那样。
我会紧紧地抓住你的心,
我还会撕扯着你的床单,
然后我会向你恳求,向你恳求,
因为我是你的男人。2
歌词原文
1 The stories of the street are mine,
The Spanish voices laugh.
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas,
And I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose,
Yes one hand on my suicide,
One hand on the rose.
2 If you want a lover,
I'll do anything you ask me to.
And if you want another kind of love,
I'll wear a mask for you.
If you want a partner,
Take my hand.
Or if you want to strike me down in anger,
Here I stand,
I'm your man.
……
Ah, the moon's too bright,
The chain's too tight,
The beast won't go to sleep.
I've been running through these promises to you,
That I made and I could not keep.
Ah but a man never got a woman back,
Not by begging on his knees.
Or I'd crawl to you baby,
And I'd fall at your feet,
And I'd howl at your beauty,
Like a dog in heat.
And I'd claw at your heart,
And I'd tear at your sheet,
I'd say please, please
I'm your man.
