莱昂纳德·科恩（Leonard Cohen），飘泊在现代都市的游吟诗人，来自寒冷然而富有浓厚欧洲气息的加拿大小城蒙特利尔，英国文学是他的专业。早年以诗歌和小说在文坛成名，小说《美丽失落者》被评论家誉为60年代的经典之作。很偶然的机缘将他带入民谣流域，在Judy Collins的帮助下，将他的诗作配上简单的和弦，开始游吟生涯。
科恩以一颗敏感而细腻的诗人之心使民谣的情感表达和对生命细微处的沉思发挥到极致，而他独有的沙哑嗓音犹如历尽沧桑却又不忍弃绝尘世的智者，娓娓叙述着一个个夹杂着黑色幽默与宗教冥想的故事。
专辑《Songs of Love and Hate》，发行于1971年。

It's four in the morning, the end of december

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New york is cold, but I like where I'm living
纽约很冷，但我喜欢我住的地方，
There's music on clinton street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert

You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
你已生无所求。但愿你是在尝试另一种体验。
Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?
都厘清了吗？
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
上一次我们见面，我看到你老了很多，
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
你的那件翩翩蓝雨衣，肩膀处已经开裂。
You'd been to the station to meet every train
你总是去到车站，等候每一班列车，
And you came home without lili marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
你对待我的女人，只像你生命里的一抹轻尘，
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
在她回来时候，她不是任何人的妻子。
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief

Well I see jane's awake --
简醒来了——
She sends her regards.
她向你问好。
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
我能对你说什么呢，置我于死地的人，
What can I possibly say?
我能说什么？
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
或许我在想你，或许我原谅你了，
I'm glad you stood in my way.
很高兴你曾挡过我的路。
If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
如果你能拜访这里，不论是为了我或是简，
And your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
你会发现现在你的敌人沉寂了，他的女人自在了。
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
是的，谢谢你从她眼里带走烦愁，
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
我以为它会永不消失，所以我没能尝试。
And jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her
她说，你交给她的那个夜晚，
That night that you planned to go clear
