Leonard Cohen "Avalanche" lyrics

Translation to:deelfrhritsrtr

Avalanche

I stepped into an avalanche,it covered up my soul;when I am not this hunchback that you see,I sleep beneath the golden hill.You who wish to conquer pain,you must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accidentas you go down for your gold.The cripple here that you clothe and feedis neither starved nor cold;he does not ask for your company,not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,you did not raise me there.Your laws do not compel meto kneel grotesque and bare.I myself am the pedestalfor this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,you must learn what makes me kind;the crumbs of love that you offer me,they're the crumbs I've left behind.Your pain is no credential here,it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,I who have no greed;I have begun to ask for you,I who have no need.You say you've gone away from me,but I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,I know you are not poor;you don't love me quite so fiercely nowwhen you know that you are not sure,it is your turn, beloved,it is your flesh that I wear.

Lavina

Pa koraknuo sam u lavinu,Prekrila mi je dušu;Kad nisam ovaj ovaj grbavac kojega vidite,Spavam podno zlatnog brijega.Vi koji želite osvojiti bol,Morate naučiti, naučiti dobro mi služiti.

Udarate me u bok slučajnoDok se spuštate po svoje zlato.Bogalj ovjde kojega hranite i odijevateNije ni izgladnjen niti mu je zima;On ne traži vaše društvo,Ne u središtu, središtu svijeta.

Kad sam na tronu,Niste me vi tamo uzdigli.Vaši zakoni ne privlače meDa groteskno klečim i podnosim.Ja sam po sebi sam tronZa ovu ružnu grbu u koju zurite.

Vi koji želite osvojiti bol,Vi morate naučiti što me odobrovoljuje;Mrvice ljubavi koje mi nudite,Mrvice su koje ostavljate za sobom.Vaša bol nije iskaznica ovdje,Samo je sjena, sjena moje rane.

Počeo sam žudjeti za vama,Ja koji pohlepe nemam;Počeo sam pitati za vas,Ja koji potrebe nemam.Vi kažete da ste otišli od mene,Ali mogu vas osjetiti kad dišete.

Ne odijevajte se u te prnje za mene,Znam da niste siromašni;Ne volite me tako neustrašivo sadaKad znate da niste sigurni,Na vama je red, voljeni,Vaše je meso ono koje nosim.
