Leonard Cohen - One of us cannot be wrong

Tekst :

I lit a thin green candle, to make you jealous of me.
But the room just filled up with mosquitos,
they heard that my body was free.
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
and I put it in your little shoe.
And then I confess that I tortured the dress
that you wore for the world to look through.
I showed my heart to the doctor: he said I just have to quit.
Then he wrote himself a prescription,
and your name was mentioned in it!
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
with the details of our honeymoon,
and I hear from the nurse that he s gotten much worse
and his practice is all in a ruin.

I heard of a saint who had loved you,
so I studied all night in his school.
He taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the golden rule.
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
he drowned himself in the pool.
His body is gone but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.

An Eskimo showed me a movie
he d recently taken of you:
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
his lips and his fingers were blue.
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
and I guess he just never got warm.
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice,
oh please let me come into the storm.

Inne utwory

  • If it be your will
  • You have loved enough
  • Who by fire
  • Song of destruction
  • On that day
  • In my secret life
  • Teachers
  • Love calls you by your name
  • The third invention
  • You know who i am
  • The smokey life
  • Here it is
  • The future
  • The land of plenty
  • Everybody knows
  • So long Marianne
  • Came so far for beauty
  • Queen Victoria
  • Losowe utwory

    Esa foto

    Esa foto que tengo pegada en la pared frente a mi cama
    me recuerda esos dias que con migo tu jugabas y ganabas

    Y no te puedo olvidar
    cada dia te extraño mas
    como pude perderte
    e imaginar que no me amabas

    fui un tonto al no decirte
    que te quiero,que te amo
    que eres lo unico que...

    Narodowość nieznana

    Dawno temu urzędnicy, nie pytając się nikogo,
    wpisali do dowodu mi polską narodowość,
    ale ja wcale nie czuję się Polakiem,
    jestem Żydem, jestem Romem, jestem całym światem.

    Jestem całkowicie biały, tak jak moja mama,
    lecz moja narodowość jest nieznana.
    Moja narodowość jest nieznana.
    Moja narodowość jest nieznana.

    Twoje miejsce urodzenia nie ma żadnego znaczenia
    i sprawa pochodzenia też tu...

    Sooner or later

    Hey you fool what is it you do
    Whatyou getting yourself into
    I won´t be nogood for you
    I´m no good for you
    Hey boy I´m sorry to say
    I could do this everyday
    I´m my own worst enemy

    Chorus:

    It´s gonna come round for you, yeah...

    World upon your shoulders

    All the bridges in the world
    Won t save you
    If there is no other side
    To cross to

    When you re world s not feeling ugly
    And the world s not too much
    Take the world upon your shoulders
    And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

    Half full...
