Δώρο
Μου έλεγες πως η σιωπή
κοντεύει στη γαλήνη πιο πολύ από ’να ποίημα
Μου έλεγες πως η σιωπή
κοντεύει στη γαλήνη πιο πολύ από ’να ποίημα
αλλ’ αν για δώρο
σου ’φερνα σιωπή
(γιατί την ξέρω τη σιωπή)
θα μου ’λεγες
Σιωπή δεν είν’ αυτό
αυτό είναι κάποιο άλλο ποίημα
και θα μου την επέστρεφες.

So Long, Marianne

Songs Of Leonard Cohen" (1967)
Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
