στο Μεγάλο Πουθενά..

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done
–Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip,
and then you slipInto the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet
–And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .




LEONARD COHEN




''Περίεργα όνειρα, πεθαίνω ή με εκτελούν, έρχονται όλοι εκτός από σένα. Ξυπνάω με κλάματα, δεν ξέρω αν θρηνώ για μένα που χάθηκα ή για σένα που δεν ήρθες ποτέ. Να μπεις μέσα μου σκληρά και τρυφερά σα να'ναι η τελευταία μας φορά, το φιλί της ζωής δε μου φτάνει να ζήσω κι εσύ δε φιλάς ποτέ ''
