〈大家都知道〉(Everybody Knows) –李歐納柯恩(Leonard Cohen)










〈大家都知道〉(Everybody Knows)這首歌是加拿大詩人歌手李歐納柯恩(Leonard Cohen)和女歌手莎朗羅賓森(Sharon Robinson)的共同的創作,收錄在1988年發行的《我是你的男人》(I'm Your Man)專輯中。李歐納柯恩在這首歌詩中,使用許多諷刺的譬喻,對比的象徵表達了對現實社會的不滿絕望以及人性的掙扎。此專輯由李歐納柯恩自行擔任製作人,展現對電子合成樂器純熟的編配,他極富吸引力的聲線、低沉的嗓音加上妖嬈的女聲合音,流露著迷人的性感。而那融合了黑色幽默、悲觀色彩與宗教意識的詩歌更是引人入勝,讓人不由得深深墜入他娓娓道來的詩意故事。

                Django改譯




〈大家都知道〉這首詩歌充滿著明知不可卻仍為之的矛盾心態。每段詩節的主題環環相扣,從人類的投機好戰與貧富差距破題,切入對政治權謀的絕望無力,反思人類的自私與被愛的渴望,觸及愛與背叛的一體兩面,然後詩人謙卑的藉由自己的功成名就慨歎世間的不公,藉由聖經故事點出即使天譴降臨人類仍有性的需求,副歌反覆著「大家都知道,世事一點都不難料」,這似乎是反話,除了人心不古之外。




*指頭交叉這個手勢意為遠離惡運,每個人擲骰時都在祈求霉運閃邊,因此譯為大家還是不信邪去賭錢。




*李歐納柯恩的歌詩經常引用聖經故事,體現救贖。聖經告訴我們,禁果使亞當夏娃察覺到自己的性徵。在吃了禁果的那一剎那,亞當和夏娃就意識到他們身體的性本質。亞當與夏娃年輕誘人的軀體,象徵未受有形物質污染之前的青春、童貞、純真和愛。李歐納柯恩閱人無數,不過他對每段愛戀都純真以對。




*伽略山(Calvary,路廿參33欽訂本)又稱「各各他」意即「髑髏地」,為耶穌受難 所在之山丘,位於耶路撒冷古城外。從伽略山上耶穌受難滴血的十字架到洛杉磯近郊知名的海灘度假區馬里布海灘,這裡有著27 英里的秀麗風景(27 miles of scenic beauty)與許多好萊塢大明星的臨海豪宅。李歐納柯恩以耶穌的受難苦痛對照名人的奢華逸樂。




您所欣賞的依序為李歐納柯恩於2010年倫敦演唱會的演出,諷刺小布希MV,與Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Loudon Wainwright III, Lucy
Wainwright Roche, Callum McColl, Thomas Bartlett (Doveman)
等人的演唱
