Letra Famous Blue Raincoat de Leonard Cohen


Letra Famous Blue Raincoat de Leonard Cohen
It?s four in the morning, the end of December
I?m writing you now just to see if you?re better
New York is cold, but I like where I?m living
There?s music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you?re building your little house deep in the desert
You?re living for nothing now, I hope you?re keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You?d been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody?s wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane?s awake --
She sends her regards.

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I?m glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Letra The Old Revolution de Leonard Cohen


Letra The Old Revolution de Leonard Cohen
I finally broke into the prison,
I found my place in the chain.
Evn damnation is poisoned with rainbows,
all the brave young men
they?re waiting now to see a signal
which some killer will be lighting for pay.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

I fought in the old revolution
on the side of the ghost and the King.
Of course I was very young
and I thought that we were winning;
I can?t pretend I still feel very much like singing
as they carry the bodies away.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

Lately you?ve started to stutter
as though you had nothing to say.
To all of my architects let me be traitor.
Now let me say I myself gave the order
to sleep and to search and to destroy.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

Yes, you who are broken by power,
you who are absent all day,
you who are kings for the sake of your children?s story,
the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
the hand of your lover is clay.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

Etta James - I'll Drown In My Own Tears

Etta James - I'll Drown In My Own Tears
It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realize
I've cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I've been crying just like a child
My pouring tears are running wild
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown, oh yeah, in my own tears

I know it's true
Into each life
Oh, some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining more and more

Why don't you come home so I won't be all alone
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I Guess I'll (drown in my own tears
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears)
Oh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

¿Cómo Puede Vivir? de Cecilia

¿Cómo Puede Vivir?

Si se despierta mañana
Será como siempre al son del reloj
Y se levanta con camisa y corbata.
Ya no es un hombre.
Es una máquina extraña,
Vestida de gris.
¿Cómo puede vivir?

Cada día que pasa
La vida sube más,
Todo está por las nubes
¿Quién lo alcanzará?

Y cuando duerme de noche
Sueña con letras y empeña su piel
Para pagar los plazos del coche
Y la gasolina
Que va ha ser su ruina
Con precios así
¿Cómo puede vivir?

Cada día que pasa
La vida sube más,
Todo está por las nubes
¿Quién lo alcanzará?

Su mujer hace milagros
Y estira su sueldo comprando mejor,
Rebajas y saldos, pero todo está caro.
Ha subido el tabaco.
Ya no hay nada barato.
Si Seguimos así
¿Cómo se puede vivir?

Cada día que pasa
La vida sube más,
Todo está por las nubes
¿Quién lo alcanzará?

A fin de mes llueven cuentas,
Recibos de agua, de luz y de gas.
El colegio del niño y los plazos del piso.
Y si esto es vida
Él no quiere vivirla,
Prefiere morir.
¿Cómo se puede vivir?

Cada día que pasa
La vida sube más,
Todo está por las nubes
¿Quién lo alcanzará?
