All Things Can Tempt Me 什麼事都教我分心 作者：W. B. Yeats╱翻譯：楊牧
All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: One time it was a woman's face, or worse... The seeming needs of my fool-driven land; Now nothing but comes readier to the hand Than this accustomed toil. When I was young, I had not given a penny for a song Did not the poet sing it with such airs That one believed he has a sword upstairs; Yet would be now, could I but have my wish, Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.
No more champagne And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue Its the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Nows the time for us to say...
Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we dont we might as well lay down and die You and i
Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks hell be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing hes astray Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we dont we might as well lay down and die You and i
Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more Than confetti on the floor Its the end of a decade In another ten years time Who can say what well find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine...
Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we dont we might as well lay down and die You and i
