Aaron Neville兄弟的Bird On Wire

canadiantire(轮胎-M.I.N.K.)

Singer: Neville Brothers
Lyrics: Leonard Cohen
Album: Brothers Keeper, 1990

这是又一首加拿大歌手/诗人Leonard Cohen的代表作。Leonard 1934年生于魁北克。早期的创作多是乡村歌曲。70年代起，他的创作受到各种不同风格的流行音乐影响。Bird On Wire最早是由Judy Collins 第一个在她的1968年专辑Who Knows Where the Time Goes中发表的，第二年Cohen自己的专辑Songs From a Room中也包含了这首歌，最初这首歌是乡村音乐的风格，后被多人翻唱过。我还有K.D.Lang演唱的版本。Neville兄弟的版本是一部同名电影中的插曲。

Lyrics

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
