Leonard Cohen "The Future" lyrics

Translation to:eshr

The Future

The Future

Give me back my broken nightmy mirrored room, my secret lifeit's lonely here,there's no one left to tortureGive me absolute controlover every living soulAnd lie beside me, baby,that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sexTake the only tree that's leftand stuff it up the holein your cultureGive me back the Berlin wallgive me Stalin and St PaulI've seen the future, brother:it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directionsWon't be nothingNothing you can measure anymoreThe blizzard, the blizzard of the worldhas crossed the thresholdand it has overturnedthe order of the soulWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meantWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meantWhen they said REPENT REPENTI wonder what they meant.

You don't know me from the windyou never will, you never didI'm the little jewwho wrote the BibleI've seen the nations rise and fallI've heard their stories, heard them allbut love's the only engine of survivalYour servant here, he has been toldto say it clear, to say it cold:It's over, it ain't goingany furtherAnd now the wheels of heaven stopyou feel the devil's riding cropGet ready for the future:it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancientwestern codeYour private life will suddenly explodeThere'll be phantomsThere'll be fires on the roadand the white man dancingYou'll see a womanhanging upside downher features covered by her fallen gownand all the lousy little poetscoming roundtryin' to sound like Charlie Mansonand the white man dancin'.

Give me back the Berlin wallGive me Stalin and St PaulGive me Christor give me HiroshimaDestroy another fetus nowWe don't like children anyhowI've seen the future, baby:it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...When they said REPENT REPENT ...

Budućnost

..............

Vrati mi moju narušenu noćMoju ozrcaljenu sobu, moj tajni životPusto je ovdje.Nema više nikoga za mučitiDaj mi potpunu kontroluNad svakom živom dušomI lezi uz mene, dušo,To je naredba!

Daj mi cracka i analni seksUzmi jedino troje što ostaneI zaguraj u rupuU svojoj kulturiVrati mi Berlinski zidDaj Mi Staljina i svetog PavlaVidio sam budućnost, brate,To je ubojstvo.

Stvari će kliziti, kliziti u svim smjerovimaNeće biti ničegaNičega što bi više mogao izmjeritimećava, mećava svijetaPrešla je pragI preokrenula jeRed dušeKad kažu: pokajte se! Pokajte se!Pitam se što su misliliKad kažu: pokajte se! Pokajte se!Pitam se što su misliliKad kažu: pokajte se! Pokajte se!Pitam se što su mislili

Ne razlikuješ mene od vjetraNikad nećeš, nikad nisiJa sam mali ŽidovKoji je napisao BiblijuVidio sam uspone i padove narodaČuo sam njihove priče, sve sam ih čuoAli ljubav je jedini pogon preživljavanjaTvoj sluga tamo, njemu je rečenoDa to jasno kaže, da to kaže hladno:Gotovo je, ne ideDaljeI sad su kotači neba staliOsjećaš sotonin navirući uzgojPriredi se za budućnost:To je ubojstvo.

Stvari će kliziti...

Doći će do sloma drevnogZapadnjačkog kodeksaTvoj će privatni život odjednom eksplodiratiBit će prikazaBit će vatri na putuI bijeli će ljudi plesatiVidjet ćeš ženukako visi naglavačkeNjezina obilježja prekrivena njezinom spuštenom haljinomI svi jadni mali pjesniciSkupljat će sePokušavajući zvučati kao Charlie MansonI bijeli će ljudi plesati

Vratite mi Berlinski zidDajte mi Staljina i svetoga PavlaDajte mi KristaIli mi dajte HirošimuUništite još jedan fetus sadaNe volimo djecu ionakoVidio sam budućnost, dušo,To je ubojstvo.

Stvari će kliziti...Kad kažu: Pokajte se! Pokajte se!...
