Tower Of Song
Leonard Cohen
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
But I hear him coughing, all night long
About a hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, it don't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window, where the light is strong
And they don't let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this, you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement comin', but I may be wrong
You see, you hear them funny voices
In the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how this river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges burnin' that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
In the Tower of Song
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
Nun, meine Freunde sind weg und mein Haar ist grau
I ache in the places where I used to play
Ich habe Schmerzen an den Stellen, wo ich früher gespielt habe
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
Und ich bin verrückt nach Liebe, aber ich komme nicht weiter
I'm just paying my rent every day
Ich zahle nur jeden Tag meine Miete
In the Tower of Song
Im Turm des Liedes
I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?"
Ich habe zu Hank Williams gesagt: „Wie einsam kann man werden?“
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
Hank Williams hat mir noch nicht geantwortet
But I hear him coughing, all night long
Aber ich höre ihn husten, die ganze Nacht lang
About a hundred floors above me
Etwa hundert Stockwerke über mir
In the Tower of Song
Im Turm des Liedes
I was born like this, I had no choice
Ich wurde so geboren, ich hatte keine Wahl
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
Ich wurde mit der Gabe einer goldenen Stimme geboren
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
Und mit siebenundzwanzig Engeln aus dem Jenseits
They tied me to this table right here
Sie fesselten mich an diesen Tisch, genau hier
In the Tower of Song
Im Turm des Liedes
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
Damit du deine kleinen Nadeln in diese Voodoo-Puppe stecken kannst
I'm very sorry, baby, it don't look like me at all
Es tut mir sehr leid, Baby, es sieht mir überhaupt nicht ähnlich
I'm standing by the window, where the light is strong
Ich stehe am Fenster, wo das Licht stark ist
And they don't let a woman kill you
Und sie lassen dich nicht von einer Frau töten
Not in the Tower of Song
Nicht im Turm des Liedes
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this, you may be sure
Nun kannst du sagen, dass ich verbittert bin, aber in diesem Punkt kannst du sicher sein
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
Die Reichen haben ihre Kanäle in den Schlafzimmern der Armen
And there's a mighty judgement comin', but I may be wrong
Und es kommt ein mächtiges Urteil, aber ich kann mich irren
You see, you hear them funny voices
Siehst du, du hörst die komischen Stimmen
In the Tower of Song
Im Turm des Liedes
I see you standing on the other side
Ich sehe dich auf der anderen Seite stehen
I don't know how this river got so wide
Ich weiß nicht, wie dieser Fluss so breit wurde
I loved you baby, way back when
Ich habe dich geliebt, Baby, damals, vor langer Zeit
And all the bridges burnin' that we might have crossed
Und all die Brücken, die wir vielleicht überquert haben
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
Aber ich fühle mich so nah an allem, was wir verloren haben
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Wir werden es nie, nie wieder verlieren müssen
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
Ich sage euch Lebewohl, ich weiß nicht, wann ich wiederkomme
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
Sie verlegen uns morgen in den Turm unten an der Strecke
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
Aber du wirst noch von mir hören, Baby, lange nachdem ich weg bin
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song
Ich werde zu dir sprechen, süß von meinem Fenster im Turm des Liedes
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
Ja, meine Freunde sind weg und mein Haar ist grau
I ache in the places where I used to play
Ich habe Schmerzen an Stellen, an denen ich früher gespielt habe
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
Und ich bin verrückt nach Liebe, aber ich komme nicht weiter
I'm just paying my rent every day
Ich zahle nur jeden Tag meine Miete
In the Tower of Song
Im Turm des Liedes
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
Bem, meus amigos se foram e meu cabelo está grisalho
I ache in the places where I used to play
Eu sinto dores nos lugares onde costumava brincar
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
E estou louco por amor, mas não estou chegando
I'm just paying my rent every day
Estou apenas pagando meu aluguel todos os dias
In the Tower of Song
Na Torre da Canção
I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?"
Eu disse a Hank Williams, "Quão solitário fica?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
Hank Williams ainda não me respondeu
But I hear him coughing, all night long
Mas eu o ouço tossindo, a noite toda
About a hundred floors above me
Cerca de cem andares acima de mim
In the Tower of Song
Na Torre da Canção
I was born like this, I had no choice
Eu nasci assim, não tive escolha
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
Eu nasci com o dom de uma voz dourada
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
E vinte e sete anjos do Grande Além
They tied me to this table right here
Eles me amarraram a esta mesa bem aqui
In the Tower of Song
Na Torre da Canção
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
Então você pode enfiar seus pequenos alfinetes naquela boneca vodu
I'm very sorry, baby, it don't look like me at all
Sinto muito, querida, não parece nada comigo
I'm standing by the window, where the light is strong
Estou de pé na janela, onde a luz é forte
And they don't let a woman kill you
E eles não deixam uma mulher te matar
Not in the Tower of Song
Não na Torre da Canção
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this, you may be sure
Agora você pode dizer que fiquei amargo, mas disso, você pode ter certeza
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
Os ricos têm seus canais nos quartos dos pobres
And there's a mighty judgement comin', but I may be wrong
E há um grande julgamento chegando, mas eu posso estar errado
You see, you hear them funny voices
Você vê, você ouve aquelas vozes engraçadas
In the Tower of Song
Na Torre da Canção
I see you standing on the other side
Eu te vejo do outro lado
I don't know how this river got so wide
Não sei como este rio ficou tão largo
I loved you baby, way back when
Eu te amei, querida, há muito tempo
And all the bridges burnin' that we might have crossed
E todas as pontes queimando que poderíamos ter cruzado
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
Mas eu me sinto tão perto de tudo que perdemos
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Nunca, nunca teremos que perder de novo
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
Agora eu me despeço, não sei quando voltarei
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
Eles estão nos mudando amanhã para aquela torre ao longo da linha
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
Mas você vai ouvir de mim, querida, muito depois de eu ter ido
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song
Estarei falando docemente com você da minha janela na Torre da Canção
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
Sim, meus amigos se foram e meu cabelo está grisalho
I ache in the places where I used to play
Eu sinto dores nos lugares onde costumava brincar
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
E estou louco por amor, mas não estou chegando
I'm just paying my rent every day

In the Tower of Song
Na Torre da Canção
Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
Bueno, mis amigos se han ido y mi cabello es gris
I ache in the places where I used to play
Me duele en los lugares donde solía jugar
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
Y estoy loco por amor, pero no estoy avanzando
I'm just paying my rent every day
Solo estoy pagando mi alquiler todos los días

Non sono come questo fiume sia diventato così largo
I loved you baby, way back when
Ti ho amato tesoro, tempo fa
And all the bridges burnin' that we might have crossed
E tutti quei ponti bruciati che avremmo potuti attraversare
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
Ma mi sento così vicino a tutto quello che abbiamo perso
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Non dovremo mai, non dovremo mai perderlo ancora

Ora ti dico addio, non so quando tornerò
