    letra de Bird on the wire

    Like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir
    I have tried in my way to be free.
    Like a worm on a hook,
    Like a knight from some old fashioned book
    I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
    If I, if I have been unkind,
    I hope that you can just let it go by.
    If I, if I have been untrue
    I hope you know it was never to you.
    Like a baby, stillborn,
    Like a beast with his horn
    I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
    But I swear by this song
    And by all that I have done wrong
    I will make it all up to thee.
    I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
    He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
    And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
    She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
    Oh like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free.

  2. Story of IsaacVer letra

    letra de Story of Isaac

    The door it opened slowly,
    My father he came in,
    I was nine years old.
    And he stood so tall above me,
    His blue eyes they were shining
    And his voice was very cold.
    He said, "I've had a vision
    And you know I'm strong and holy,
    I must do what I've been told."
    So he started up the mountain,
    I was running, he was walking,
    And his axe was made of gold.
    Well, the trees they got much smaller,
    The lake a lady's mirror,
    We stopped to drink some wine.
    Then he threw the bottle over.
    Broke a minute later
    And he put his hand on mine.
    Thought I saw an eagle
    But it might have been a vulture,
    I never could decide.
    Then my father built an altar,
    He looked once behind his shoulder,
    He knew I would not hide.
    You who build these altars now
    To sacrifice these children,
    You must not do it anymore.
    A scheme is not a vision
    And you never have been tempted
    By a demon or a god.
    You who stand above them now,
    Your hatchets blunt and bloody,
    You were not there before,
    When I lay upon a mountain
    And my father's hand was trembling
    With the beauty of the word.
    And if you call me brother now,
    Forgive me if I inquire,
    "just according to whose plan?"
    When it all comes down to dust
    I will kill you if I must,
    I will help you if I can.
    When it all comes down to dust
    I will help you if I must,
    I will kill you if I can.
    And mercy on our uniform,
    Man of peace or man of war,
    The peacock spreads his fan.

    letra de The partisan

    Leonard Cohen - The Partisan
    The Partisan
    When they poured across the border
    I was cautioned to surrender,
    This I could not do;
    I took my gun and vanished.
    I have changed my name so often,
    I've lost my wife and children
    But I have many friends,
    And some of them are with me.
    An old woman gave us shelter,
    Kept us hidden in the garret,
    Then the soldiers came;
    She died without a whisper.
    There were three of us this morning
    I'm the only one this evening
    But I must go on;
    The frontiers are my prison.
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    Through the graves the wind is blowing,
    Freedom soon will come;
    Then we'll come from the shadows.
    Les allemands e'taient chez moi,
    Ils me dirent, "r�©signe toi,"
    Mais je n'ai pas peur;
    J'ai repris mon �¢me.
    The germans were at my home
    They said, "sign yourself,"
    But I am not afraid
    I have retaken my soul.
    J'ai change' cent fois de nom,
    J'ai perdu femme et enfants
    Mais j'ai tant d'amis;
    J'ai la france entie're.
    I've changed names a hundred times
    I have lost wife and children
    But I have so many friends
    I have all of france
    Un vieil homme dans un grenier
    Pour la nuit nous a cache',
    Les allemands l'ont pris;
    Il est mort sans surprise.
    An old man, in an attic
    Hid us for the night
    The Germans captured him
    He died without surprise.
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    Through the graves the wind is blowing,
    Freedom soon will come;
    Then we'll come from the shadows.

    letra de Seems so long ago, nancy

    It seems so long ago,
    Nancy was alone,
    looking ate the Late Late show
    through a semi-precious stone.
    In the House of Honesty
    her father was on trial,
    in the House of Mystery
    there was no one at all,
    there was no one at all.
    It seems so long ago,
    none of us were strong;
    Nancy wore green stockings
    and she slept with everyone.
    She never said she'd wait for us
    although she was alone,
    I think she fell in love for us
    in nineteen sixty one,
    in nineteen sixty one.

    It seems so long ago,
    Nancy was alone,
    a forty five beside her head,
    an open telephone.
    We told her she was beautiful,
    we told her she was free
    but none of us would meet her in
    the House of Mystery,
    the House of Mystery.

    And now you look around you,
    see her everywhere,
    many use her body,
    many comb her hair.
    In the hollow of the night
    when you are cold and numb
    you hear her talking freely then,
    she's happy that you've come,
    she's happy that you've come.

  6. The old revolutionVer letra

    letra de The old revolution

    I finally broke into the prison,
    I found my place in the chain.
    Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,
    All the brave young men
    They're waiting now to see a signal
    Which some killer will be lighting for pay.
    Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
    You whom I cannot betray.
    I fought in the old revolution
    On the side of the ghost and the King.
    Of course I was very young
    And I thought that we were winning;
    I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
    As they carry the bodies away.
    Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
    Lately you've started to stutter
    As though you had nothing to say.
    To all of my architects let me be traitor.
    Now let me say I myself gave the order
    To sleep and to search and to destroy.
    Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
    Yes, you who are broken by power,
    You who are absent all day,
    You who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
    The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
    The hand of your lover is clay.
    Into this furnace I ask you now to venture

  7. The butcherVer letra

    letra de The butcher

    I came upon a butcher,
    He was slaughtering a lamb,
    I accused him there
    With his tortured lamb.
    He said, Listen to me, child,
    I am what I am and you, you are my only son.
    Well, I found a silver needle,
    I put it into my arm.
    It did some good,
    Did some harm.
    But the nights were cold
    And it almost kept me warm,
    How come the night is long?
    I saw some flowers growing up
    Where that lamb fell down
    Was I supposed to praise my Lord,
    Make some kind of joyful sound?
    He said, Listen, listen to me now,
    I go round and round
    And you, you are my only child.
    Do not leave me now,
    Do not leave me now,
    I'm broken down
    From a recent fall.
    Blood upon my body
    And ice upon my soul,
    Lead on, my son, it is your world.

  9. Lady midnightVer letra

    letra de Lady midnight

    I came by myself to a very crowded place;
    I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
    I found her there but she was past all concern;
    I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
    But she scorned me and she told me
    I was dead and I could never return.
    Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
    Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
    Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
    She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
    Just win me or lose me,
    It is this that the darkness is for."
    I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
    The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
    "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
    So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
    I could hear my lady calling,
    "You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
    You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
    Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
    Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
    Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
