LEONARD COHEN, PREMI PRÍNCEP D'ASTÚRIES DE LES ARTS 2011

Leonard Cohen és un poeta, novelista i cantant canadenc nascut a Montreal, en el sí d'una família jueva d'ascendència lituana, l'any 1934. Aprofitant l'avinentesa de què li ha estat concedit el premi príncep d'Astúries de les arts 2011 i que no hem posat cap tema relacionat amb la religió, vos deix una petita perla. La cançó es titula Waiting for a Miracle i forma part de la BSO de la pel.lícula Natural born killers dirigida per Oliver Stone l'any 1994.

Aquí vos deix la lletra en anglès. En el fons és una cançó d'amor també!!!! Esper que vos agradi !!!!

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting
Night and day
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some,
But I was waiting
For the miracle,
For the miracle to come

I know you really loved me
but, you see,
my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand
beneath my window
with your bugle
and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle,
for the miracle to come

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle,
for the miracle to come

Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II

Nothing left to do
when you know
that you've been taken
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come

I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle,
for the miracle to come
