Leonard Cohen "A singer must die" lyrics

Translation to:hr

A singer must die

Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess.Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes.Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine,I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline.And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice,a singer must die for the lie in his voice.And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty,you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty.Your vision is right, my vision is wrong,I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song.

Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hidin the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive,in the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs,where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise.Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night,my night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night.

I am so afraid that I listen to you,your sun glassed protectors they do that to you.It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace,their knee in your balls and their fist in your face.Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made,sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late.

Neka pjevač umre

Sudom vlada tišina, priznanje ne žele,uz pitanje muklo, jer pravdu već dijele,glas optužbu pjeva, pjev laž loše krije,za milost da molim znam mrsko im nije.Dame pomalo cijede, sudac izbora nema,taj pjevač nek’ umre zbog lažnih dilema.I hvala vam, hvala, vi istini vjerni,svih kreposti gnjilih vi čuvari smjerni,znam, vi ste u pravu, ja zablude krojim,zakužit ću zrak glupim pjesmama svojim.

Noć je sve gušća, moja obrana šuplja,pred odjećom žene, gdje vreba me duplja,u klizavoj svili, šum sumnjivog bedra,gdje prerušen puzim toj zmiji u njedra.Laku noć, laku noć, iz noći u noć,iz noći, u noći, iz noći u noć, i u noć.

Još uvijek se bojim da bit će po tvome.Gle! Ruglo si tijelu učinila svome.Znam, kleveću samo, sve nemilo pljuju,ma tko još ima petlje da zgazi tu rulju,pa vječno nek’ žive rad, zakon i red,ja odavde nisam, tek sam prolaznik nijem…
