Leonard Cohen - Avalanche
Tekst :
Well I stepped into an avalanche,it covered up my soul;
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold;
he does not ask for your company,
not at the centre, the centre of the world.
When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they re the crumbs I ve left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it s just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I wh ohave no need.
You say you ve gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.
Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
you don t love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear.

Mauled
An excursion in science
Becomes a bloodbath hosted by nature
A closer look at life
Slashed, dismembered and eaten raw
Feast for the wild
Mauled
Chewed and ripped into fragments
Blunt force facial restructurization
Shoulder to shoulder
Squeezed together
Compound fracture of the torso
Such sites are quite appalling
Stupid humans for the mauling
Us-kill them?...

Entre dos aguas
As I look into your eyes
I see the reasons why
my life is worth a thousand heavens, baby
when you whisper in my ear
I feel myself so high
I know that this time it s forever.
I waited all my life
never thought that it could happen

Open your eyes
Love is freewheeling, keeps me wakin all night long
But just like makin love, becomes a part of you
Nobody s losing when we get so satisfied
Because of you i ve got to shouting out my love
Open your eyes, there s my love, turn it over...

Dice
I was crying over you
I am smiling I think if you
Where your garden have no walls
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don t say farewell
Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and you swear that your love s for me
Nothing can compare
To when you...

Losing my mind
The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it s like I m losing my mind
The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you...
