Leonard Cohen "Samson In New Orleans" lyrics

Translation to:sr

Samson In New Orleans

You said that you were with meYou said you were my friendDid you really love the cityOr did you just pretend

You said you loved her secretsAnd her freedoms hid awayShe was better than AmericaThat’s what I heard you say

You said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe remnant all dishonoredOn the bridge of misery

And we who cried for mercyFrom the bottom of the pitWas our prayer so damn unworthyThe Son rejected it?

So gather up the killersGet everyone in townStand me by those pillarsLet me take this temple down

The king so kind and solemnHe wears a bloody crownSo stand me by that columnLet me take this temple down

You said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe chains are gone from heavenThe storms are wild and free

There’s other ways to answerThat certainly is trueMe, I’m blind with death and angerAnd that’s no place for you

There’s a woman in the windowAnd a bed in Tinsel TownI’ll write you when it’s overLet me take this temple down

Samson u Nju Orleansu

Rekao si da si sa mnomRekao si da si mi prijateljDa li ti se stvarno svideo gradili si se samo pretvarao

Rekao si da voliš njene tajneI njene slobode skriveneBila je bolja od AmerikeTako sam te ja razumeo

Rekao si kako je ovo moglo da se desiRekao si kako je ovo mogućeSvi ostaci obeščašćeniNa tom mostu boli

A mi koji smo molili za milostSa dna te jameDa li je naša molitva bila takoprokleto nedostojnaDa ju je Sin odbio?

Zato, okupi ubiceDovedi čitav gradPostavi me kraj onih stubovaDozvoli mi da srušimovaj hram

Kralj, tako ljubazan i svečanNosi prokletu krunuZato, postavi me kraj tog stubaDozvoli mi da srušim ovaj hram

Rekao si kako je ovo moglo da se desiRekao si kako je ovo mogućeNema više lanaca na nebuOluje su divlje i razularene

Ima drugih načina da se odgovoriTo je sigurnoMene, mene je zaslepela smrt i besI to nije za tebe

Na prozoru je neka ženaI ima jedan krevet u TinseltaunuPisaću ti kad sve prođeDozvoli mi da srušim ovaj hram
