Leonard Cohen "Tower of Song" lyrics

Translation to:defafifrhrhusr

Tower of Song

Well my friends are gone and my hair is greyI ache in the places where I used to playAnd I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming onI'm just paying my rent every dayOh in the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?Hank Williams hasn't answered yetBut I hear him coughing all night longA hundred floors above meIn the Tower of Song

I was born like this, I had no choiceI was born with the gift of a golden voiceAnd twenty-seven angels from the Great BeyondThey tied me to this table right hereIn the Tower of Song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo dollI'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at allI'm standing by the window where the light is strongAh they don't let a woman kill youNot in the Tower of Song

Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sureThe rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poorAnd there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrongYou see, you hear these funny voicesIn the Tower of Song

I see you standing on the other sideI don't know how the river got so wideI loved you baby, way back whenAnd all the bridges are burning that we might have crossedBut I feel so close to everything that we lostWe'll never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be backThere moving us tomorrow to that tower down the trackBut you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm goneI'll be speaking to you sweetlyFrom a window in the Tower of Song

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is greyI ache in the places where I used to playAnd I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming onI'm just paying my rent every dayOh in the Tower of Song

Kula pjesni

Nemam prijatelja, nemam niti koseSada žuč točim, gdje sam prije pioLud sam za ljubavi, ali ne dolazimSamo plaćam stanarinu svaki danU Kuli pjesni

Pitao sam Hanka: kolika je samoća?Hank Williams još nije odgovorioAli ga svaku noć čujem dok kašljeStotinu katova gore, iznad meneU Kuli pjesni

Rođen sam ovakav, nemam izboraRođen sam s darom zlatnog glasaDvadeset sedam anđela s NebesaMe svezalo za baš ovaj stol ovdjeU Kuli pjesni

Slobodno zabij igle u woodoo likŽao mi je, dušo, ali ne liči na meStojim uz prozor prepun svjetlostiGdje te čak ni žena ne može ubitiU Kuli pjesni

Možda sam gorak, ali jedno znajBogati putuju sobama siromahaStiže moćna pravda, a možda neZnaš, mnogo smiješnoga se čujeU Kuli pjesni

Vidim te na suprotnoj obali rijekeI ne znam otkad je toliko širokaVolio sam te, dušo, davno nekadSada svi prijeđeni mostovi goreIako mi je sve izgubljeno bliskoViše nikada nećemo morati gubiti

Napuštam te, ne znam do kadaSele nas sutra u kulu tamo daljeJavljat ću se, dušo, još dugo bašSlatke riječi ću ti šaptati s prozoraU Kuli pjesni

Nemam prijatelja, nemam niti koseSada žuč točim, gdje sam prije pioLud sam za ljubavi, ali ne dolazimSamo plaćam stanarinu svaki danU Kuli pjesni
