عادت دارم آهنگی که دوست دارم 100 بار
گوش می دم تا سیر شم اما ترانه ی «بارانی آبی معروف» کوهن رو از دیروز هر چقدر گوش
می دم سیر نمی شم. غمی که تو این ترانه هست، شعرش که به صورت یک نامه است، خصوصیات
نویسنده ی نامه وقتی بهش فکر می کنی با صدای فوق العاده و خاص کوهن ترکیبی رو می سازه
که آدم رو با خودش می بره. جوان بائز و چند نفر دیگه هم این آهنگ رو بازخوانی کردن
ولی هیچکدوم به این زیبایی و با احساسی نیست. انگار کوهن خودش نامه رو نوشته باشه
و حالا داره می خوندش...
Artist(Band):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
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
Sincerely, L. Cohen
