Leonard Cohen-Ja sam tvoj


Ako želiš ljubavnika
But ću to što tražiš
Ako ljubiš druge draži
Na mom licu biće krinka
Ako pak za srodnu dušu moliš
Rukom me privlači
Ili-ako voliš,mahnito istuci,

Ovde sam
Sasvim tvoj

Ako šakom treba se potući
I u ring ući
Za liječnikom, ako srce zebe,
Pregledat ću pomno
Svaki deo tebe
Tvoj ću vozač biti
Samo stupi
Il me smesti u vozilo svoje
Svejedno je
Ja sam tvoj

Da,mesec odveć sjaji
Lanac grubo steže,
Pa zla zver ne sanja
A ja lutah svugde dokle pamet seže
Kroz sva obećanja
I znana i neznana
I neodržana
Nikad žena natrag se ne vraća
Pa sve da od boli kolena se tope
Ili da ko stene prostrem se pred stope

Zavijam sred leta
Grbem posred srca
Param prekrivače
Il' zavapim jače:”Molim”
Sav u muci toj
Jas am tvoj.

Pa i ako usneeš
U trenutku,negde, usred ceste,
Upravljač je moj
Ili ako gradom zaželiš prošetat
Nestat ja ću s maglom,kradom
Ustrebaš li oca za buduće dete
Samo kaži
Ili tek šetača po peščanoj plaži
Jas am tvoj

Ako želiš ljubavnika
Bit ću to što tražiš
Ako ljubiš druge drazi
Na mom licu bit će krinka.

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers.....
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Seeking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job, but I get no offers.....
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin' even me
I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual
No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same.........


And I'm laying out my winter clothes, wishing I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York city winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me to go home

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes, he still remains........................

The Boxer!

hvala na razumevanju

Allein

Es führen über die Erde
Strassen und Wege viel,
Aber alle haben
Dasselbe Ziel

Du kannst reiten und fahren
Zu zwein und zu drein,
Den letzten Schritt
Mußt du gehen allein.

Drum ist kein Wissen
Noch Können so gut,
Als daß man alles Schwere
Alleine tut.
_____________________

Alone

Over the earth there lead
Many roads and paths,
But all have
The same goal.

You can ride and travel
By two and by three,
(But) the last step
You must go alone.

So there is no knowledge
Or skill / ability so good,
But that everything difficult one must
Do alone.

Hermann Hesse

Hvala ti zivote


Hvala ti zivote, mnogo si mi dao
Dao si mi oci, otvara ih svjetlo
Jasno vidim crno, jasno vidim bijelo
Nebo iznad glave, tako sjajno i kad se budim
Vidim u tom mnostvu, lice koje ljubim…

Hvala ti zivote, mnogo si mi dao
Sluh koji ne vara i ne cuje lazi
A slusa djecaka kada ljubav trazi
I cuje u noci sto je iza vrata
Korak prijatelja, ili korak tata…

Hvala ti zivote, mnogo si mi dao
Hrabrosti jos imam, i nisam bez dara
Da zavolim voce, koje covjek stvara
Dijelili smo udes, dobar ili zao
Kad u moje oci tvoj je pogled pao…

Hvala ti zivote, mnogo si mi dao
Dao si mi osmjeh, ucio me placu
Sve sto ne znam danas, mozda sutra znat cu
Ti si dao njeznost koja pjev moj cini
Ponoru me dao, i dao visini…

Za sve što mi ote
Hvala ti, zivote…

Gracias a la vida

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros, que cuando los abro,
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado,
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el oído que, en todo su ancho,
Graba noche y día grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos,
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto,
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario.
Con él las palabras que pienso y declaro,
"Madre,", "amigo," "hermano," y los alumbrando
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados.
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
Playas y desiertos, montańas y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón, que agita su marco.
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo.
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la risa, y me ha dado el llanto.
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto,
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto.

Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.

Violeta Parra

Ich fürchte mich so vor der Menschen Wort

Ich fürchte mich so vor der Menschen Wort.
Sie sprechen alles so deutlich aus:
Und dieses heißt Hund und jenes heißt Haus,
und hier ist Beginn und das Ende ist dort.

Mich bangt auch ihr Sinn, ihr Spiel mit dem Spott,
sie wissen alles, was wird und war;
kein Berg ist ihnen mehr wunderbar;
ihr Garten und Gut grenzt grade an Gott.

Ich will immer warnen und wehren: Bleibt fern.
Die Dinge singen hör ich so gern.
Ihr rührt sie an: sie sind starr und stumm.
Ihr bringt mir alle die Dinge um.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Por amarte


Fueron tus labios
los que llenaron de calor
cada momento
y han sugerido que tu y yo
siempre volvamos
para amarnos
a pesar del tiempo.
Fueron tus besos
quienes ataron la pasión
que llevo dentro
me hicieron arder el corazón
porque ya no te tengo
hoy sólo quiero
verte de nuevo.
Aunque tenga
que morir en el intento.
Por amarte
de mi vida haré un camino
hasta encontrarte
porque te llevo conmigo
hasta en la sangre
destilando amor
cada día por amarte.
Fueron tus manos
las que atraparon nuestra historia
en un momento
y me han dejado
persiguiendo tu recuerdo
enloqueciendo
por verte de nuevo.
No me importaría
morir si no te tengo.
Por amarte…

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 judgements 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.


Leonard Cohen

Αχ κορίτσι μου


Μου έλειψες απόψε θα το μάθεις
Σαν φτάσεις μυστικά θα σου το πω
Περίμενα να'ρθείς στα μάτια να με δεις
Να σου ζητήσω ότι λαχταρώ


Αχ κορίτσι μου
Στους χτύπους της καρδιάς μου
Απόψε χόρεψε
Φτερά αγγέλου στο κορμί μου φόρεσε
Να φτάσω ως τη πόρτα του ουρανού
Αχ κορίτσι μου
Δικά σου της ψυχής μου τ'αφανέρωτα
Τα έκρυψα σε βράδια αξημέρωτα
Κανένας μη τα δει μόνο εσύ


Περίμενα τόσο καιρό εσένα
Να έρθεις στη ζωή μου να φανείς
Εγώ σε καρτερώ σου φώναζα εδώ
Να μείνεις μη περάσεις και διαβείς
