Leonard Cohen "Democracy" lyrics

Translation to:bscseshrrosr

Democracy

It's coming through a hole in the air,from those nights in Tiananmen Square.It's coming from the feelthat this ain't exactly real,or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.From the wars against disorder,from the sirens night and day,from the fires of the homeless,from the ashes of the gay:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming through a crack in the wall;on a visionary flood of alcohol;from the staggering accountof the Sermon on the Mountwhich I don't pretend to understand at all.It's coming from the silenceon the dock of the bay,from the brave, the bold, the batteredheart of Chevrolet:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,the holy places where the races meet;from the homicidal bitchin'that goes down in every kitchento determine who will serve and who will eat.From the wells of disappointmentwhere the women kneel to prayfor the grace of God in the desert hereand the desert far away:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail onO mighty Ship of State!To the Shores of NeedPast the Reefs of GreedThrough the Squalls of HateSail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,the cradle of the best and of the worst.It's here they got the rangeand the machinery for changeand it's here they got the spiritual thirst.It's here the family's brokenand it's here the lonely saythat the heart has got to openin a fundamental way:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.O baby, we'll be making love again.We'll be going down so deepthe river's going to weep,and the mountain's going to shout Amen!It's coming like the tidal floodbeneath the lunar sway,imperial, mysterious,in amorous array:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I meanI love the country but I can't stand the scene.And I'm neither left or rightI'm just staying home tonight,getting lost in that hopeless little screen.But I'm stubborn as those garbage bagsthat Time cannot decay,I'm junk but I'm still holding upthis little wild bouquet:Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Demokratija

Dolazi kroz rupu u zraku,Iz one noći na Trgu Tienanmen.Dolazi iz osjećajaDa ovo nije baš stvarno.Ili je stvarno, ali nije baš ovde.Iz ratova protiv nereda,Iz danonoćnih zvukova sirena,Iz vatri beskućnika,Iz pepela homoseksualaca:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.

Dolazi kroz pukotinu u zidu;Na vizionarskoj poplavi alkohola;S nevjerovatnog računaod propovijedi na goriKoju se ne pretvaram da imalo razumijem.Dolazi iz tišinePristaništa u zaljevu,Od hrabrih, smionih, izubijanogsrca Chevroleta:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.

Dolazi iz tuge na ulici,Svetih mjesta gdje se rase nalaze;Iz suicidalnog kukanjaKoje se odvija u svakoj kuhinjiKako bi odredilo ko će služiti, a ko jesti.Iz izvora razočaranjagdje žene kleče na molitvuza milost Gospodinovu u pustinji ovdei u pustinji daleko odavde:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.

Plovi, ploviMoćni Brodu Države!Do Obala PotrebePokraj Grebena PohlepeKroz Oluje MržnjePlovi, plovi, plovi, plovi.

Dolazi prvo u AmerikuKolijevku najboljih i najgorihOvde je to gdje imaju dometeI mašineriju za promjenuI tu je to gdje imaju duhovnu žeđ.Ovdje je to gdje je obitelj razbijenaI ovdje usamljeni kažuDa se srce mora da otvoriNa najosnovniji način:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.

Dolazi od muškaraca i žena.O dušo, opet ćemo da vodimo ljubav.Toliko ćemo se duboko uživjetiDa će rijeka jecati,I planine će da uzviknu Amin!Dolazi ko plimni valIspod mladog mjeseca.Imperijalna, tajanstvena,U ljubavnom nizu:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.

Plovi, plovi....

Sentimentalan sam, ako znaš na što mislimVolim zemlju, ali ne mogu da podnesem pejsažI nisam ni desno ni lijevoJednostavno ostajem doma večerasIzgubljen u tom beznadnom malom ekranuAli tvrdoglav sam ko te vreće za smećeKoje vrijeme ne može da nagrizeSmeće sam, ali još držimOvaj divlji mali buketić:Demokratija dolazi u SAD.
