    [X]

    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.

    letra de Heart With No Companion

    Now I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast
    And so shattered, it will reach you everywhere.
    And I sing this for the captain whose ship has not been built, for the mother in
    Confusion, her cradle still unfilled.
    For the heart with no companion, for the soul without a king. for the prima
    Ballerina who cannot dance to anything.
    Through the days of shame that are coming, through the nights of wild distress,
    Though your promise count for nothing, you must keep it nonetheless.
    You must keep it for the captain whose ship has not been built. for the mother in
    Confusion her cradle still unfilled.
    For the heart with no companion, for the soul without a king, for the prima
    Ballerina who cannot dance to anything.

    letra de Waiting For The Miracle

    Baby, I've been waiting,
    I've been waiting night and day.
    I didn't see the time,
    I waited half my life away.
    There were lots of invitations
    And I know you sent me some,
    But I was waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    I know you really loved me.
    But, you see, my hands were tied.
    I know it must have hurt you,
    It must have hurt your pride
    To have to stand beneath my window
    With your bugle and your drum,
    And me I'm up there waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
    You wouldn't like it here.
    There ain't no entertainment
    And the judgments are severe.
    The Maestro says it's Mozart
    But it sounds like bubble gum
    When you're waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Waiting for the miracle
    There's nothing left to do.
    I haven't been this happy
    Since the end of World War II.
    Nothing left to do
    When you know that you've been taken.
    Nothing left to do
    When you're begging for a crumb
    Nothing left to do
    When you've got to go on waiting
    Waiting for the miracle to come.
    I dreamed about you, baby.
    It was just the other night.
    Most of you was naked
    Ah but some of you was light.
    The sands of time were falling
    From your fingers and your thumb,
    And you were waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come
    Ah baby, let's get married,
    We've been alone too long.
    Let's be alone together.
    Let's see if we're that strong.
    Yeah let's do something crazy,
    Something absolutely wrong
    While we're waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
    Nothing left to do
    When you've fallen on the highway
    And you're lying in the rain,
    And they ask you how you're doing
    Of course you'll say you can't complain
    If you're squeezed for information,
    That's when you've got to play it dumb
    You just say you're out there waiting
    For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

  7. AvalancheVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Avalanche

    Well I stepped into an avalanche,
    It covered up my soul;
    When I am not this hunchback that you see,
    I sleep beneath the golden hill.
    You who wish to conquer pain,
    You must learn, learn to serve me well.
    You strike my side by accident
    As you go down for your gold.
    The cripple here that you clothe and feed
    Is neither starved nor cold;
    He does not ask for your company,
    Not at the centre, the centre of the world.
    When I am on a pedestal,
    You did not raise me there.
    Your laws do not compel me
    To kneel grotesque and bare.
    I myself am the pedestal
    For this ugly hump at which you stare.
    You who wish to conquer pain,
    You must learn what makes me kind;
    The crumbs of love that you offer me,
    They're the crumbs I've left behind.
    Your pain is no credential here,
    It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
    I have begun to long for you,
    I who have no greed
    I have begun to ask for you,
    I who have no need.
    You say you've gone away from me,
    But I can feel you when you breathe.
    Do not dress in those rags for me,
    I know you are not poor
    You don't love me quite so fiercely now
    When you know that you are not sure,
    It is your turn, beloved,
    It is your flesh that I wear.

  8. SuzanneVer letra

    letra de Suzanne

    Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,
    You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her,
    And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you wanna be there,
    And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China,
    And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
    Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer,
    That you've always been her lover.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with her,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you know that she will trust you,
    For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
    And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water,
    And He spent a long time watching from His lonely wooden tower,
    And when He knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
    He said "all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them,"
    But He Himself was broken, long before the sky would open
    Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with him,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you think maybe you'll trust him,
    For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
    Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,
    She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,
    And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour,
    And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers,
    There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning,
    They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,
    While Suzanne holds the mirror.
    [Chorus]
    And you want to travel with her,
    And you want to travel blind,
    And you know that you can trust her,
    For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

  9. The PartisanVer letra

    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 Famous Blue Raincoat

    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
    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.
    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?
    Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
    Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
    You'd been to the station to meet every train
    And you came home without Lili Marlene
    And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
    And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
    Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
    One more thin gypsy thief
    Well I see Jane's awake
    She sends her regards.
    And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
    What can I possibly say?
    I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
    I'm glad you stood in my way.
    If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
    Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
    Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
    I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
    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
    Sincerely L Cohen

  11. HallelujahVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Hallelujah

    Now I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
    She tied you
    To a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    You say I took the name in vain
    I don't even know the name
    But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
    There's a blaze of light
    In every word
    It doesn't matter which you heard
    The holy or the broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    And even though
    It all went wrong
    I'll stand before the Lord of Song
    With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

  12. Closing TimeVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Closing Time

    Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
    And the band is really happening
    And the johnny walker wisdom running high
    And my very sweet companion
    She's the angel of compassion
    She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
    And every drinker every dancer
    Lifts a happy face to thank her
    The fiddler fiddles something so sublime
    All the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    It's closing time
    Yeah the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    It's closing time
    Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
    And the cider's laced with acid
    And the holy spirit's crying, "where's the beef?"
    And the moon is swimming naked
    And the summer night is fragrant
    With a mighty expectation of relief
    So we struggle and we stagger
    Down the snakes and up the ladder
    To the tower where the blessed hours chime
    And I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    But closing time
    I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    Closing time
    I loved you for your beauty
    But that doesn't make a fool of me:
    You were in it for your beauty too
    And I loved you for your body
    There's a voice that sounds like god to me
    Declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
    And I loved you when our love was blessed
    And I love you now there's nothing left
    But sorrow and a sense of overtime
    And I missed you since the place got wrecked
    And I just don't care what happens next
    Looks like freedom but it feels like death
    It's something in between, I guess
    It's closing time
    Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
    By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
    Looks like freedom but it feels like death
    It's something in between, I guess
    It's closing time
    Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
    But there's nothing really happening
    And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
    And my very close companion
    Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
    She's a hundred but she's wearing
    Something tight
    And I lift my glass to the awful truth
    Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
    Except to say it isn't worth a dime
    And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
    And it's once for the devil and once for christ
    But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
    We're busted in the blinding lights,
    Busted in the blinding lights
    Of closing time
    The whole damn place goes crazy twice
    And it's once for the devil and once for christ
    But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
    We're busted in the blinding lights,
    Busted in the blinding lights
    Of closing time
    Oh the women tear their blouses off
    And the men they dance on the polka-dots
    It's closing time
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
    It's closing time
    I swear it happened just like this:
    A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    It's closing time
    The gates of love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    But closing time
    I loved you when our love was blessed
    I love you now there's nothing left
    But closing time
    I miss you since the place got wrecked
    By the winds of change and the weeds of sex.
