Famous Blue Raincoat - 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? 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 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 a 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 While, 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 Did you ever go clear?

I hope no one discovers you Hope no one sees her I hope no one falls in love with you I've got my reasons 'Cause if they knew what I know then I know I wouldn't stand a chance There's no way you would go for a man like me if you had options Even though the world was meant for you I hope you don't get famous 'Cause everyone will love you but won't love you like I do, oh nah Hope you don't get famous Stay home with me Stay home with me I'll always love ya, I'll always Hope you don't get Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Yeah Baby live your life, just how you are Shining star Hope you never get famous Fly low with the angel I said "fake it 'till you make it" I guess you fake when you make it I told you "stick to the basics" But the empire started from the basement If you tryna fix a glass that's broken You know it might cut ya Never want to see you with another man Truth might eat you if your mama know When they get too close for playing Need your huggin' Because nobody gon' love you like I do Even though the world was meant for you I hope you don't get famous 'Cause everyone would love you but won't love you like the way I do, oh nah Hope you don't get famous Stay home with me Stay home with me I'll always love ya, I'll always Hope you don't get Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous All day long I stand by you Right or wrong I stand by you Keep me strong, oh girl it's true Keep me strong, oh girl it's true Even though the world was meant for you I hope you don't get famous 'Cause everyone will love you but won't love you like I do, oh nah Hope you don't get famous Stay home with me Stay home with me I'll always love ya, I'll always Hope you don't get Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous Hope you don't get famous

I try to live in black and white, but I'm so blue I'd like to mean it when I say I'm over you But that's still not true (blue) And I'm still so blue, oh I thought we were the same (I thought we were the same) Birds of a feather (birds of a feather), now I'm ashamed I told you a lie, désolé, mon amour I'm trying my best, don't know what's in store Open up the door (blue) In the back of my mind, I'm still overseas A bird in a cage, thought you were made for me I try (I'm not what) to live in black and white, but I'm so blue (but I'm not what you need) I'd like (not what you need) to mean it when I say I'm over you But that's still not true, true And I'm still so blue (and it's not true) True blue, true blue I'm true blue (ooh-ooh) hmm, hmm-mm You were born bluer than a butterfly Beautiful and so deprived of oxygen Colder than your father's eyes He never learned to sympathize with anyone I don't blame you But I can't change you Don't hate you But we can't save you (but we can't save you) You were born reaching for your mother's hands Victim of your father's plans to rule the world Too afraid to step outside Paranoid and petrified of what you've heard But they could say the same 'bout me I sleep 'bout three hours each night Means only 21 a week now, now And I could say the same 'bout you Born blameless, grew up famous too Just a baby born blue now, now I don't blame you But I can't change you Don't hate you But we can't save you But when can I hear the next one?

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta

Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
