Leonard Cohen "On the Level" lyrics

Translation to:essr

On the Level

I knew that it was wrong,I didn't have a doubt.I was dying to get back home,and you were starting out.I said I'd best be moving on,You said "we have all day".

You smiled at me like I was young,it took my breath away.Your crazy fragrance all around,your secrets all in view.My lost, my lost was saying "found",My don't was saying "do".

Let's keep it on the level.When I walked away from you,I turned my back on the devil,turned my back on the angel, too.They oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you,when I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.

Now I'm living in this templewhere they tell you what to do,I'm old and I've had to settleon a different point of view.I was fighting with temptation,but I didn't want to win.A man like me don't like to seetemptation caving in.

Your crazy fragrance all around,your secrets in my view.My lost, my lost was saying "found",my don't was saying "do".

Let's keep it on the level.When I walked away from youI turned my back on the devil,turned my back on the angel, tooThey oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you.When I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.

They oughta give my heart a medalfor letting go of you.When I turned my back on the devilturned my back on the angel, too.

Iskreno

Da nije u redu, to sam znaoNisam ni sumnjaoOd želje da se kući vratim ja sam umiraoA ti si tek krenula

Rekao sam da je bolje da idemRekla si, ceo je dan pred namaNasmešila si mi se kao da sam mladTo mi je oduzelo dah

Tvoj ludi miris na sve straneNa videlu sve tvoje tajneMoje izgubljeno je govorilo nađenoMoje nemoj je govorilo učini to

Da budem iskrenKad sam te napustioOkrenuo sam leđa đavoluOkrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medaljuZa to što te je ostaviloKada sam okrenuo leđa đavoluOkrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Sada živim u ovom hramuGde ti govore šta da radišStar sam i morao sam se pomiritiSa drugačijim gledištem

Borio sam se sa iskušenjimaAli nisam želeo da pobedimČovek kao ja ne voli kad seIskušenja na njega obruše

Tvoj ludi miris na sve stranePreda mnom sve tvoje tajneMoje izgubljeno je govorilo nađenoMoje nemoj je govorilo učini to

Da budem iskrenKad sam te napustioOkrenuo sam leđa đavoluOkrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medaljuZa to što te je ostaviloKada sam okrenuo leđa đavoluOkrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medaljuZa to što te je zaboraviloKada sam okrenuo leđa đavoluOkrenuo sam leđa i anđelu
