Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song
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
Oh in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
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, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah 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 coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
There 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 a 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
Oh in the Tower of Song
Leonard Cohen - Kula od pesama (Serbian translation)
Mojih drugova više nema a kosa mi je seda,
Bol je na mestima gde sam svirao nekada
I lud sam za ljubavlju ali mi ne ide,
Samo kiriju plaćam svakog dana
U ovoj Kuli od pesama
Pitao sam Henka Vilijamsa: koliko samotno postane?
Henk Vilijams još odgovorio nije
Ali čujem ga kako po čitavu noć kašlje
Stotinu spratova iznad mene
U ovoj Kuli od pesme
Rođen sam ovakav, nisam imao izbora,
Rođen sam s darom zlatnog glasa
A dvadeset sedam anđela sa onog sveta
Vezalo me je za ovaj sto ovde
U ovoj Kuli od pesme
Tako da možeš iglice u tu vudu lutku zabadati
Baš mi je žao, dušo, na mene nimalo ne liči
Stojim kraj prozora gde je svetlo jako
Ah, ne daju oni da te ubije žena
Ne u Kuli od pesama
Možeš reći da sam ogorčen postao,
ali jedno je sigurnoLeonard Cohen - Tower Of Song - http://motolyrics.com/leonard-cohen/tower-of-song-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
Bogati imaju svoje kanale u spavaćim sobama siromašnih
A strašni sud dolazi, mada možda grešim
Znaš, čovek čuje neke čudne glasove
U ovoj Kuli od pesme
Vidim te kako stojiš na drugoj strani
Ne znam kako je reka postala tako široka
Dušo, voleo sam te, nekada
A sad gore svi mostovi koje možda smo prešli
A tako mi je blisko sve što smo izgubili
Više nikada nećemo morati da gubimo
Sada se od tebe opraštam, ne znam kad ću se vratiti
Sutra nas premeštaju u onaj toranj budući
Ali javljaću ti se ja dušo, još dugo nakon što me ne bude
Govoriću ti reči slatke
Sa prozora na Kuli od pesme
Da, mojih drugova više nema a kosa mi je seda
Bol je na mestima gde sam svirao nekada
I lud sam za ljubavlju ali mi ne ide
Samo kiriju plaćam svakog dana
O, u ovoj Kuli od pesama
