In my secret life

2 min lectură·11 aprilie 2002

Mediu

I saw you this morning.

You were moving so fast.

Can\'t seem to loosen my grip

On the past.

And I miss you so much.

There\'s no one in sight.

And we\'re still making love

In My Secret Life.

I smile when I\'m angry.

I cheat and I lie.

I do what I have to do

To get by.

But I know what is wrong.

And I know what is right.

And I\'d die for the truth

In My Secret Life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.

My sister, hold on tight.

I finally got my orders.

I\'ll be marching through the morning,

Marching through the night,

Moving cross the borders

Of My Secret Life.

Looked through the paper.

Makes you want to cry.

Nobody cares if the people

Live or die.

And the dealer wants you thinking

That it\'s either black or white.

Thank God it\'s not that simple

In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.

I buy what I\'m told:

From the latest hit,

To the wisdom of old.

But I\'m always alone.

And my heart is like ice.

And it\'s crowded and cold

In My Secret Life.

Daca tot postam din alti autori vin si eu cu ce imi place.

Leonard Cohen scrie si cinta superb, care nu il stiti vi-l recomand din toata inima.

Tradus si-ar fi pierdut tot farmecul .

Imi cer scuze celor ce nu stapinesc engleza.

\"Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.\"
...tot el... din \"Songs from a Room\"

I ack in the places where I used to go
And I\'m crazy for love
But I\'m not coming on
I just pay my rent every day
In the tower of song...

sau ceva in genul asta, oricum e o surpriza f. placuta pentru mine sa descopar oameni care-l iubesc pe Cohen. Te felicit, Nexus, ma aflam intr-o dupa amiaza-neagra, in cautarea poeziei...

Ma bucur ca mai sunt oameni care il iubesc pe Cohen .Pentru mine e mai mult decit o delectare, e un invatator (cit pot si eu si pastrind proportiile)
Si cind ziua e neagra revin de multe ori la el ca la \"un drog si o poveste\"

Sper ca nu supar pe careva insa am indraznit sa fac o traducere celei de a doua strofe.
Chiar daca textul este scris in engleza cred ca si cei ce nu cunosc acesta limba vor dori sa-l inteleaga.
Sper ca prin aceasta initiativa ii voi determina pe mai multi sa incerce o traducere a celorlalte strofe si chiar o imbunatatire a acesteia pe care eu mi-am permis sa o redau in romana.

\"Cand sunt manios zambesc.
Trisez si mint chiar de n-as vrea.
Si fac ce trebuie sa fac
Pentru a putea continua.
Dar insa stiu ce e gresit.
Sunt cel ce binele-l respecta.
Si as muri pentru adevar
In viata mea secreta.\"

Totul in limba romana!

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic \'til I\'m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love.

In cea de-a șaptea zi, Dumnezeu spuse: \"Sa fie muzică!\" și a fost Cohen. :)
