Ballad of the absent mare L. Cohen

"Ballad Of The Absent Mare" by Leonard Cohen.

Say a prayer for the cowboy 
His mare's run away 
and he'll walk till he finds her 
His darling, his stray 
but the river's in flood 
and the roads are awash 
and the bridges break up 
in the panic of loss. 
And there's nothing to follow 
There's nowhere to go 
She's gone like the summer 
gone like the snow 
And the crickets are breaking 
his heart with their song 
as the day caves in 
and the night is all wrong 

Did he dream, was it she 
who went galloping past 
and bent down the fern 
broke open the grass 
and printed the mud with 
the iron and the gold 
that he nailed to her feet 
when he was the lord 

And although she goes grazing 
a minute away 
he tracks her all night 
he tracks her all day 
Oh blind to her presence 
except to compare 
his injury here 
with her punishment there 

Then at home on a branch 
in the highest tree 
a songbird sings out 
so suddenly 
Ah the sun is warm 
and the soft winds ride 
on the willow trees 
by the river side 

Oh the world is sweet 
the world is wide 
and she's there where 
the light and the darkness divide 
and the steam's coming off her 
she's huge and she's shy 
and she steps on the moon 
when she paws at the sky 

And she comes to his hand 
but she's not really tame 
She longs to be lost 
he longs for the same 
and she'll bolt and she'll plunge 
through the first open pass 
to roll and to feed 
in the sweet mountain grass 

Or she'll make a break 
for the high plateau 
where there's nothing above 
and there's nothing below 
and it's time for the burden 
it's time for the whip 
Will she walk through the flame 
Can he shoot from the hip 

So he binds himself 
to the galloping mare 
and she binds herself 
to the rider there 
and there is no space 
but there's left and right 
and there is no time 
but there's day and night 

And he leans on her neck 
and he whispers low 
"Whither thou goes’ 
I will go" 
And they turn as one 
and they head for the plain 
No need for the whip 
Ah, no need for the rain 

Now the clasp of this union 
who fastens it tight? 
Who snaps it asunder 
the very next night 
Some say the rider 
Some say the mare 
Or that love's like the smoke 
beyond all repair 

But my darling says 
"Leonard, just let it go by 
That old silhouette 
on the great western sky" 
So I pick out a tune 
and they move right along 
and they're gone like the smoke 
and they're gone like this song

Songs of love and hate - Leonard Cohen

SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE

Avalanche

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
It covered up my soul;
When I am not this hunchback that you see,   (hunchback: jorobado)
I sleep beneath the golden hill.  (beneath: bajo)
You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accident
As you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed   (cripple. Lisiado, tullido)
Is neither starved nor cold;
He does not ask for your company,
Not at the centre, the centre of the world.
[: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/leonard+cohen/avalanche_
When I am here on a pedestal,
You did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare.  (hump: giba, joroba)

You who wish to conquer pain,
You must learn what makes me kind;
The crumbs of love that you offer me,
They're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here;
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,  (long for: ansiar, añorar)
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
But I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
When you know that you are not sure,
It is your turn, beloved,
It is your flesh that I wear.

"Last Year's Man"

The rain falls down on last year's man,
that's a Jew's harp on the table,  (harp on: insister  harp; arpa)
that's a crayon in his hand.
And the corners of the blueprint (plano arq) are ruined since they rolled
far past the stems of thumbtacks
that still throw shadows on the wood.
And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year's man.
I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
oh one by one she had to tell them
that her name was Joan of Arc.
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;
I want to thank you, Joan of Arc,
for treating me so well.
And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
all these wounded boys you lie beside,
goodnight, my friends, goodnight.

I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
Bethlehem the bridegroom,

Babylon the bride.

Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
and Bethlehem inflamed us both
like the shy one at some orgy.
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail.

Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain
so I hang upon my altar
and I voice my acts again.
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
when Jesus was the honeymoon
and Cain was just the man.
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
that the wilderness is gathering
all its children back again.

The rain falls down on last year's man,
an hour has gone by
and he has not moved his hand.
But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
the lovers will rise up
and the mountains touch the ground.
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year's man.

"Dress Rehearsal Rag"  ( trapo de vestido de ensayo)

Four o'clock in the afternoon 
and I didn't feel like very much. 
I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy, 
where is your famous golden touch?" 
I thought you knew where 
all of the elephants lie down, 
I thought you were the crown prince 
of all the wheels in Ivory Town. 
Just take a look at your body now, 
there's nothing much to save 
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries, 
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave." 
Now if you can manage to get 
your trembling fingers to behave, 
why don't you try unwrapping 
a stainless steel razor blade? 
That's right,

it's come to this, 
yes it's come to this, 
and wasn't it a long way down, 
wasn't it a strange way down? 
There's no hot water 
and the cold is running thin. 
Well, what do you expect from 
the kind of places you've been living in? 
Don't drink from that cup, 
it's all caked and cracked along the rim.  (rim: llanta, borde)
That's not the electric light, my friend, 
that is your vision growing dim. 
Cover up your face with soap, there, 
now you're Santa Claus. 
And you've got a gift for anyone 
who will give you his applause. 
I thought you were a racing man, 
ah, but you couldn't take the pace. 
That's a funeral in the mirror 
and it's stopping at your face. 
That's right,

it's come to this, 
yes it's come to this, 
and wasn't it a long way down, 
ah wasn't it a strange way down? 

Once there was a path 
and a girl with chestnut hair, 
and you passed the summers 
picking all of the berries that grew there; 
there were times she was a woman, 
oh, there were times she was just a child, 
and you held her in the shadows 
where the raspberries grow wild. 
And you climbed the Twilight Mountains  (twilight: crepúsculo)
and you sang about the view, 
and everywhere that you wandered 
love seemed to go along with you. 
That's a hard one to remember,
yes it makes you clench your fist.   (clench: agarrar / mascullar)
And then the veins stand out like highways, 
all along your wrist. 
And yes it's come to this, 
it's come to this, 
and wasn't it a long way down, 
wasn't it a strange way down? 

You can still find a job, 
go out and talk to a friend. 
On the back of every magazine 
there are those coupons you can send. 
Why don't you join the Rosicrucian’s.
they will give you back your hope, 
you can find your love with diagrams 
on a plain brown envelope. 
But you've used up all your coupons 
except the one that seems 
to be written on your wrist   (wrist : muñeca)
along with several thousand dreams. 
Now Santa Claus comes forward, 
that's a razor in his mit,
and he puts on his dark glasses 
and he shows you where to hit; 
and then the cameras pan, 
the stand in stunt man, 
dress rehearsal rag, 
it's just the dress rehearsal rag, 
you know this dress rehearsal rag, 
it's just a dress rehearsal rag.

DIAMONDS IN THE MINE

The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge, 
the man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends. 
The river is swollen up with rusty cans   (swoll up: crecido –el río-) (cans: latas)
and the trees are burning in your promised land. 
And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
and there are no grapes upon the vine,  (grape: uva)
and there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in the mine. 

Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb; 
you say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him. 
Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night, 
he was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight. (eat up: consumir sb )

And there are no letters in the mailbox,
and there are no grapes upon the vine, 
and there are no chocolates in your boxes, anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in the mine. 

(You tell them now) 

Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch,  (coven: aquelarre)
some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch, 
and the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride, 
he trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child. 

And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine, 
and there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in your mine. 
And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
and there are no grapes upon the vine, 
and there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in your mine. 

LOVE CALLS BY YOUR NAME.

You thought that it could never happen 
To all the people that you became, 
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.  (tame: manso,a)
But here, right here, 
Between the birthmark and the stain, 
Between the ocean and your open vein, 
Between the snowman and the rain, 
Once again, once again, 
Love calls you by your name. 
The women in your scrapbook   scrapbook / ˈskræpbʊk/ sustantivo álbum m de recortes
whom you still praise and blame, 
You say they chained you to your fingernails    fingernail ['fɪɳgəneɪl] nombre uña
And you climb the halls of fame. 
Oh but here, right here, 
between the peanuts and the cage,   (cage: jaula, caja)
Between the darkness and the stage, 
Between the hour and the age, 
Once again, once again, 
Love calls you by your name. : http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/leonard+cohen/love+calls+you+by+your+name_2008286] 
Shouldering your loneliness 
like a gun that you will not learn to aim, 
You stumble into this movie house,  (stumble into: trastabillar)
then you climb, you climb into the frame. 
Yes, and here, right here.
Between the moonlight and the lane, 
Between the tunnel and the train, 
Between the victim and his stain,   (stain; mancha)
Once again, once again, 
Love calls you by your name. 

I leave the lady meditating 
on the very love which I, I do not wish to claim, 
I journey down the hundred steps, 
but the street is still the very same. 
And here, right here, 
Between the dancer and his cane,   (cane: caña, bastón)
Between the sailboat and the drain,  (drain: resumidero)
Between the newsreel and your tiny pain, 
Once again, once again, 
Love calls you by your name. 

Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne? 
Where are the paths your heroes came? 
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away, 
Was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?  Lame: rengo to be lame: ser convincente

                                                                   Limp (renguear)
Oh here, come over here, 
Between the windmill and the grain, (windmill: Molino)
Between the sundial and the chain, (sundial: reloj de sol)
Between the traitor and her pain,  (traitor: traidor)
Once again, once again, 
Love calls you by your name.

FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT

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   (come by: pasar por casualidad)
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, 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
And you came home without Lily Marlene
[: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/leonard+cohen/famous+blue+raincoat_
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life    (bicho raro)
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with the 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
But 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  (mechón)
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear 

-- sincerely, L. Cohen

SING ANOTHER SONG, BOYS.

(Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter.) 

Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken, 
his ships they're all on fire. 
The moneylender's lovely little daughter 
ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire. 
She spies him through the glasses 
from the pawnshops of her wicked father.  ( wicked : perverso) pawnshop  casa de empeños, monte de piedad
She hails him with a microphone  (hail: llamar)
that some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her. 
She tempts him with a clarinet, 
she waves a Nazi dagger.  (dagger: puñal)
She finds him lying in a heap; (heap: desplomar)
she wants to be his woman. 
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep 
but kindly leave, leave the future, 
leave it open." 

He stands where it is steep, (steep: estipulado)
oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one, 
his hand upon his leather belt now 
like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner. 
And she will learn to touch herself so well 
as all the sails burn down like paper. 
And he has lit the chain 
of his famous cigarillo. 
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon, 
at least not the one that we're after; 
it's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends, 
and it carries no survivors. 
But lets leave these lovers wondering 
why they cannot have each other, 
and let's sing another song, boys, 
this one has grown old and bitter.

Joan of Arc

 

Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
As she came riding through the dark;
No moon to keep her armor bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, I’m tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite.

Well, I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
You know I’ve watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
And who are you? She sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke.
Why, I’m fire, he replied,
And I love your solitude, I love your pride.

Then fire, make your body cold,
I’m going to give you mine to hold,
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
And high above the wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.

It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood..
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,  (wince: estremecerse)
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and also bright?

1. Breaking The Law

[Halford/Tipton/Downing]

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down

all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town

feel as though nobody cares if I live or die

so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I can't even start

I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart

you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue

if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law

2. Rapid Fire

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

Pounding the world like a battering ram

Forging the furnace for the final grand slam

Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done

Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none

Hammering anvils straining muscle and might

Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright

Fast devastating and desolisating the curse

Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth

Wielding the axe comes the one culmination

That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed

Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage

Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free

Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled

Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war

The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding

That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay

Pounding the world like a battering ram

Forging the furnace for the final grand slam

Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done

Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none

Second to none

3. Metal Gods

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

We've taken too much for granted

And all the time it had grown

From techno seeds we first planted

Evolved a mind of its own

Marching in the streets

Dragging iron feet

Laser beaming hearts

Ripping men apart

From off I've seen my perfection

Where we could do as we please

In secrecy this infection

Was spreading like a disease

Hiding underground

Knowing we'd be found

Fearing for our lives

Reaped by robot's scythes

Metal Gods

Metal Gods

[Solo Glenn]

Metal Gods

Metal Gods

Machines are taking all over

With mankind in their command

In time they'd like to discover

How they can make their demand

Better be the slaves

To their wicked ways

But meeting with our death

Engulfed in molten breath

4. Grinder  (molinillo de café)

[Halford/Tipton/Downing]

Never straight and narrow

I won't keep in time

Tend to burn the arrow

Out of the line

Been inclined to wander

Off the beaten track

That's where there's thunder

And the wind shouts back

Grinder

Looking for meat

Grinder

Wants you to eat

Got no use for routine

I shiver at the thought

Open skies are my scene

That's why I won't get caught

Refuse to bite the mantrap

Be led to set the snare

I love to have my sight

Capped everywhere

Grinder

Looking for meat

Grinder

Wants you to eat

[solo Glenn]

I've held my licence

It came with birth,

For self reliance on this earth

You take the bullet

On which my name

Was etched upon in your game

Day of independence

Stamped us like a brand

Round the necks of millions

To the land

As the mighty eagle

I need room to breathe

Witness from the treadmill

I take my leave

Grinder

Looking for meat

Grinder

Wants you to eat

Grinder

Looking for meat

Grinder

Wants you to eat

Grinder

5. United

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

Look around

They're moving in

Hold your ground

When they begin

We can do it

We can do it and if they wanna they can try

But they'll never get near

Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving

Never stop

United, united, united we stand

United we never shall fall

United, united, united we stand

United we stand one and all

So keep it up

Don't give in

Make a stand

We're gonna win

We can do it

We can do it and if they wanna they can try

But they'll never get near

Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving

Never stop

United, united, united we stand

United we never shall fall

United, united, united we stand

United we stand one and all

So keep it up

United, united, united we stand

United we never shall fall

United, united, united we stand

United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand

United we never shall fall

United, united, united we stand

United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand

United we never shall fall

United, united, united we stand

United we stand one and all

6. Living After Midnight

[Halford/Tipton/Downing]

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn

Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded

I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded

I come alive in the neon light

That's when I make my moves right

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn

Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded

Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded

My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take

This motor's revved up, fit to break

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn

Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm aiming for ya

I'm gonna floor ya

My body's coming

All night long

The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded

I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded

I set my sights and then home in

The joint starts flying when I begin

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn

Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

[repeat and fade]

7. You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

I've had enough of being programmed

And told what I ought to do

Let's get one thing straight

I'll choose my fate

And it's got nothing to do with you

The years are flying by and it's time I got high

Took a sample of the good things in life

This is a chance

I'm gonna take

Gonna get out trouble and strife

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

No I don't care that the people stare

Accuse me of going mad

Just get a long hard look into the mirror

Then, tell me now who's been had

The way things are going I won't get to show 'em

Go single all the time's up to me

So it's off with the ties

No compromise

Wanna taste what it's like to be free

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So what's wrong

You don't have to be old to be wise

I'm gonna gather my things

Go through the door

Every night I'll live on my own

I'd like to be there

And I'm gonna be there

I got a will of my own

I go as I please

Fend for myself

Pull all the stops, roll the dice

Out on my own, gonna go it alone

When I need it

Then I'll ask for advice

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

You don't have to be old to be wise

[fade]

8. The Rage

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

From a fireball we came crossed sea and mountain

We were drinking beauty with our eyes

We were given all to make our own

Let us be left alone

Laid the tasks and paid the price

Everything survives

Crushed and bolted all the grain

At every wind what a stake we're in

Is pain better than the grave

When we talk without amend

We see red and then

Deep inside our blood begins to boil

Like a tiger in the cage

We begin to shake with rage

9. Steeler

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

Catch the play now, eye to eye

Don't let chances pass you by

Always someone at your back

Biding their time for attack

Check for decoys, stay sharp edged

Double-crossers get your head

Carpet-baggers bluff and strike

Kiss of Judas, spider like

Waiting like jackals to sneak up and trick you

Wolves in sheep's clothing, so deft in consoling

Lurking in shadows, they pounce least expected

When you come to, they'll have gone right through you

Tricksters, jilters play their game

Sleight-of-handers, all the same

Masquerader in his lair

Wants to tangle in your hair

10. Red, White And Blue

[Bonus Track - From the Turbo sessions]

When I'm far away

And I can't get through

Wherever I roam

Keeps bringing me back to you

Holding on to hope

There's no need to fear

Wherever I roam

This piece of home

Keeps telling you that I'm near

So lift up your heart

Cause the brave will always come through

While we're apart

We will raise the red, white and blue

When I stand alone

Without you by my side

I think of all

That you stand for

It fills me up with pride

Reaching out to you

Across mountains, sea and sky

I think of all

That you stand for

And hope will never die

Now I'm coming home again

I'm coming home to you

And as I roam

This piece of home

Has brought me back to you

11. Grinder (Live)

[Bonus Track - Live at The Sports Arena, Long Beach CA 1984]

Never straight and narrow

I won't keep in time

Tend to bend the arrow out of line

Been inclined to wander

Off the beaten track

That's where there's thunder and the wind shouts back

Grinder - looking for the meat

Grinder - wants you to eat

Got no use for routine

I shiver at the thought

Open skies on my scene this boy won't get caught

Refuse to bait the man trap

Be left to set the snare

I love to have my sight capped everywhere

Grinder - looking for meat

Grinder - wants you to eat

I have my licence

It came with birth

For self reliance of this earth

You take the bullet

On which my name

Was etched to file me in your game

Day of independence

Stamped us like a brand

On the necks of millions to the land

As the mighty eagle

I nee d room to breath

Witness from the treadmill

I take my leave

Grinder - looking for meat

Grinder - wants you to eat

Grinder - looking for meat

Grinder - wants you to eat
