Leonard Cohen - I came so far for beauty

Tekst :

I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I d be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved her not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothed to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach
But no, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned

    Intro

    Rap:
    Gyerünk emberek, fel a kezeket,
    itt van nektek Linya elsõ lemeze,
    ha megtetszik a CD-dbe be teszed,
    egész nap a zenéket élvezheted.
    Tengeren innen, tengeren túl vadiúj
    rappekkel indul, nagyon cool.
    Innen-onnan válogatott stílusok,
    igazi R n B ritmusok,
    magyarok által írt zenék, ütemek,
    saját szerzeményû eredeti szövegek,
    vannak rajta hosszúak, rövidek.
    Figyelj csak, hallgasd meg, mert bejöhet!...

    His sleeping majesty

    Broken faces behind the idol
    Self sacrifce believers once (betrayed)
    Those who disregarded (authorities)
    In deadly position they offend
    The junless domain
    For ages and ages
    Where his sleeping majesty
    Under the black sand
    Skeletoned shapes look lifeless
    Thrones disappear in...

    Eulogies and epitaphs

    You said you could not love, but instead you love to hate,
    the liars and the vampires will break these bloody chains.
    You say you can not love, but inside you love to hate,
    the liars and the vampires will break these chains!
    I saw you out the window, as the blood-line fills this...

    Baila Mi Ritmo

    Open your eyes - I can no longer hide
    I m falling in love with you now
    All of my life I looked for this love
    Wondering if I could find
    Feel my heart - there is something inside

    Fall into my love

    Well, it s not that i m just losin ground
