Leonard Cohen "Almost Like the Blues" lyrics

Translation to:hritrotr

Almost Like the Blues

I saw some people starvingThere was murder, there was rapeTheir villages were burningThey were trying to escapeI couldn't meet their glancesI was staring at my shoesIt was acid, it was tragicIt was almost like the blues

I have to die a littleBetween each murderous thoughtAnd when I'm finished thinkingI have to die a lotThere's torture and there's killingAnd there's all my bad reviewsThe war, the children missingLord, it's almost like the blues

So I let my heart get frozenTo keep away the rotMy father said I'm chosenMy mother said I'm notI listened to their storyOf the Gypsies and the JewsIt was good, it wasn't boringIt was almost like the blues

There is no G-d in HeavenAnd there is no Hell belowSo says the great professorOf all there is to knowBut I've had the invitationThat a sinner can't refuseAnd it's almost like salvationIt's almost like the blues

Skoro kao Blues

Vidio sam neke ljude kako gladuju,Bilo je ubojstva, bilo je silovanja,Njihova sela su gorjelaOni su pokušavali pobjećiNisam se mogao sresti s njihovim pogledima,Zurio sam u svoje cipele.Bilo je kiselo, bilo je tragično,Bilo je skoro kao blues.

Moram umrijeti maloIzmeđu svake ubitačne misliI kada završim sa razmišljanjemMoram umrijeti mnogoPostoje mučenja i ubojstvaI sve moje loše recenzijeRat, nestajanje djece,Bože, skoro je kao blues.

Zato dopuštam srcu da se smrzneDa drži podalje truležMoj otac je rekao da sam odabranMoja majka je rekla da nisam.Slušao sam njihovu pričuo Ciganima i ŽidovimaBila je dobra, niije bila dosadnaBila je skoro kao blues.

Ne postoji Bog na Nebui ne postoji pakao ispod;Tako kaže ugledni profesorsvega što treba znati.Ali ja sam imao pozivkoji grješnik ne može odbitiI skoro je kao spasenjeSkoro je kao blues.
