千吻之深
這原本是一首來自 Leonard Cohen
李奧納。科漢的詩,詞很長,
用了幾個段落去描述出一個男人的孤獨
和經歷了生命的嘲弄後
的認命。
聽的時候,去感受它的深
~如千吻之深~
透過他那低沈磁性的男性嗓音,
我認為其中最重要的兩句
~invincible defeat ~這無懈可擊的失敗,
是他對生命的哀鳴。
而~back on Boogie Street~
根據 Leonard Cohen 自己的解釋是,
那是暗示著一條失去了的幻夢的街道,
他必須總是回到現實裡去。
"A Thousand Kisses Deep"
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it's done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it's real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .
我喜歡這首歌的深沉陰暗,
一如我一個奇特的旅程~墨西哥岩穴潛水~
它地處於墨西哥Yucatan Penisula 域卡坦半島,
是世界上面積最大的地底水宮
神祕的地泉 “Canotes”,有如千吻之深。
緩緩的背著氧氣筒移動,
在無盡頭的地下水世界裡,
漸漸的下沈,
沈重的猶如 Leonard Cohen 的嗓音。
And maybe I had miles to drive
And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive
那個對未來旅程的期待,對母親的承諾,
我必須在每個危險裡,
不擇手段活下去...呼吸,別忘了呼吸...
當潛水的時候,你必須很專心的注意呼吸,
原來呼吸,平時我們沒有注意過的一呼一吸,
是那麼的重要。
那是個離開塵囂的世界,
Deep Blue..A Thousand Kisses Deep
深藍色的國度,包圍著你,
在黑暗水宮裡,我們手持著防水燈照亮四周嶙峋鐘乳石洞。
偶有陽光從石縫中射入水裡,光彩移形換位,水色絢麗爭輝。
岩穴潛水它不同於一般開放式水域的潛水,它的風險更大,
因為你在很大的區域內,你無法浮出水面,
因為頭頂上都是穴道的岩壁。
因此對於氧氣的計算,更要精確,
害怕密閉空間的朋友,
也不適合冒然下水。
其他不怕死的,
就會領會到那美得要命的境界了。
