Текст песни Leonard Cohen 2001 Ten New Songs - A Thousand Kisses Deep.....На глубине в десятки поцелуев

На глубине в десятки поцелуев

Не важно, что этому пути всё нет конца,
Не важно, что спуски и подъёмы так круты,
Не важно, что луна не светит
И всё вокруг погружено во тьму.
Не бойся сбиться со своей дороги,
Ведь наша встреча была назначена судьбой.
Я понял это из сказанных тобою слов
На глубине в десятки поцелуев.

И я любил тебя, когда ты мне открылась,
Как открываются цветы в тепле.
Ты видишь? Я как снеговик,
Стоящий под дождём и тающий,
Тебя любивший ледяной любовью,
Пусть и слепленный неизвестно кем…
Всё, что он есть и кем он был –
На глубине в десятки поцелуев.

Я знаю, ты не могла без этой лжи,
Единственным спасеньем был обман,
Ты поняла это ещё когда была ребёнком,
Когда сидела на коленях у отца.
Но почему же ты должна была сражаться
На улицах, охваченных огнём,
Если всё важное для жизни – здесь,
На глубине в десятки поцелуев?

Я вышел на улицы,
Я начал колоться,
Я возвращаюсь к «Boogie Street»*
Я хочу покончить с этим,
Но я уже застрял. Могу сказать,
Что мысли о тебе приносят мир,
И в деле о тебе всё ясно
Кроме того, чего я сделать не успел
На глубине в десятки поцелуев.

Твоё богатство и влиянье не важны,
Не важно, даже если ты и слаб,
Не важно, что ты написал ту песнь,
Которую поют все в мире соловьи.
Не важно, обыденно ли всё
Или же вечно и необыкновенно,
Ты строишь укрепления, спасая свою жизнь
На глубине в десятки поцелуев.

Пони бегут,
Девушки молоды,
Нужно добиваться успеха.
Твой выигрыш ничтожно мал,
И полоса везения проходит.
Открыт вопрос, что делать с этим невозможным поражением?
И ты живёшь, как будто всё взаправду
На глубине в десятки поцелуев.

Я слышу голоса в вине,
От них мне иногда не по себе.
Играет песня «Доброе старое время»,
Но сердце никогда не отойдёт.
Нельзя забыть то, что любишь,
Невозможно сделать прыжок сквозь пространство и время
И засвидетельствовать его в показаниях приборов
На глубине в десятки поцелуев…

"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 . . .

Dozens of kisses deep

It doesn't matter that there is no end to this path
It doesn't matter that the ups and downs are so steep
It doesn't matter that the moon doesn't shine
And everything around is immersed in darkness.
Don't be afraid to go astray
After all, our meeting was appointed by fate.
I figured it out from the words you said
Dozens of kisses deep.

And I loved you when you opened up to me
How flowers open in the warmth.
You see? I'm like a snowman
Standing in the rain and melting
Who loved you with icy love
Let it be molded by someone unknown ...
All that he is and who he was -
Dozens of kisses deep.

I know you couldn't live without this lie
The only salvation was deception
You realized this when you were a child
When I sat on my father's lap.
But why did you have to fight
On the streets on fire
If everything important for life is here
Dozens of kisses deep?

I took to the streets
I started using drugs
I'm going back to Boogie Street *
I want to end this
But I'm already stuck. I can say
That thoughts of you bring peace
And everything is clear about you
Also, what I didn't have time to do
Dozens of kisses deep.

Your wealth and influence are not important
It doesn't matter even if you're weak
It doesn't matter that you wrote that song
Which is sung by all the nightingales in the world.
It doesn't matter if everything is ordinary
Or is it eternal and extraordinary,
You build fortifications to save your life
Dozens of kisses deep.

The ponies are running
The girls are young
You need to achieve success.
Your winnings are negligible
And the streak of luck passes.
The question is open, what to do with this impossible defeat?
And you live as if everything is for real
Dozens of kisses deep.

I hear voices in wine
They sometimes make me uncomfortable.
The song "Good old time" is playing,
But the heart will never leave.
You can't forget what you love
Impossible to jump through space and time
And witness it in the instrument readings
At a depth of dozens of kisses ...
