모닥불

Leonard Cohen / Nancy

It seems so long ago,

Nancy was alone,

looking at the Late Late show

through a semi-precious stone.

In the House of Honesty

her father was on trial,

in the House of Mystery

there was no one at all,

there was no one at all.

It seems so long ago,

none of us were strong;

Nancy wore green stockings

and she slept with everyone.

She never said she'd wait for us

although she was alone,

I think she fell in love for us

in nineteen sixty one,

in nineteen sixty one.

It seems so long ago,

Nancy was alone,

a forty five beside her head,

an open telephone.

We told her she was beautiful,

we told her she was free

but none of us would meet her in

the House of Mystery,

the House of Mystery.

And now you look around you,

see her everywhere,

many use her body,

many comb her hair.

In the hollow of the night

when you are cold and numb

you hear her talking freely then,

she's happy that you've come

she's happy that you've come

무척이나 오래 전 일이었던 것 같아

낸시는 홀로이

창녀촌의 한 방안에 앉아

싸구려 TV 로

투나잇 쇼를 보고 있었지

그녀의 아버진 감옥에서

재판에 회부 중이었어

낸시 옆엔 아무도 있지 않았어

낸시 옆엔 아무도 없었던 게지

무척이나 오래 전 일이었던 것 같아

우리들 중 어느 누구도

그녀를 도와줄 힘이 없었어

낸시는 녹색 스타킹을 신고서

아무하고나 잠자리를 같이 한 거야

그녀는 비록 외로이 홀로 있었지만

결코 우릴 기다렸다고 말하지 않았어

난 그녀가 우리들을 사랑하고 있었다고 생각해

그 때가 1961년이었어 많은 세월이 흘렀지

무척이나 오래 전 일이었던 것 같아

낸시는 여전히 홀로 있었어
