Leonard Cohen "Joan of Arc" lyrics

Translation to:es hr it

Joan of Arc

Now the flames they followed joan of arcAs she came riding through the dark;No moon to keep her armour bright,No man to get her through this very smoky night.She said, "i'm tired of the war,I want the kind of work I had before,A wedding dress or something whiteTo wear upon my swollen appetite."

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,You know I've watched you riding every dayAnd something in me yearns to winSuch a cold and lonesome heroine."and who are you? " she sternly spokeTo the one beneath the smoke."why, I'm fire," he replied,"and I love your solitude, I love your pride."

"then fire, make your body cold,I'm going to give you mine to hold,"Saying this she climbed insideTo be his one, to be his only bride.And deep into his fiery heartHe took the dust of joan of arc,And high above the wedding guestsHe hung the ashes of her wedding dress.

It was deep into his fiery heartHe took the dust of joan of arc,And then she clearly understoodIf he was fire, oh then she must be wood.I saw her wince, I saw her cry,I saw the glory in her eye.Myself I long for love and light,But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

Ivana Orleanska

Za Ivanom Orleanskom gmižu plamiDok na crnome vrancu kaše u tami;Nema mjesečine da joj oklop zasja,Ni muža da joj u magli put obasja.Kazuje: "Umorna od boja,Željna sam radišnoga roja,Haljine i vjenčanoga kroja,Što bih je na dušu obukla."

Drago mi je što čujem takove riječi,Gledam te na konju dok šumom ječi,Pa poželim duboko u sebi osvojitiI hrabru junakinju na tron položiti."Tko si ti?" upita stroga,Onoga ispod toga smoga."Oganj sam", on se brecnu"Volim ti samoću prkosnu."

"Ognje, gasni vrele jezike svoje,Jer polažem ti sebe u naručje,"Kazivaše to i koraknu tadaKako bi bila njegova mlada.Duboko u srce svoje vrelo,Odnese on Ivanino tijelo,Pa nad glavama svatovaProsu pepeo njezinih haljina.

Duboko u srce svoje vrelo,Odnese on Ivanino tijelo.U tome trenu joj je svanulo:Ako je on grom, ona je tlo.Gledam je u grču i kriku,Taj sjaj u njezinome oku.Iako i sam čeznem za ljubavi i svjetlom,Pitam se, mora li tako okrutno i silom?
