Trilha de hoje



Teachers - Leonard Cohen


I met a woman long ago
her hair the black that black can go,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered no.
I met a girl across the sea,
her hair the gold that gold can be,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.

I met a man who lost his mind
in some lost place I had to find,
follow me the wise man said,
but he walked behind.

I walked into a hospital
where none was sick and none was well,
when at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all.

Morning came and then came noon,
dinner time a scalpel blade
lay beside my silver spoon.

Some girls wander by mistake
into the mess that scalpels make.
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break.

One morning I woke up alone,
the hospital and the nurses gone.
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Child, you are a bone.

I ate and ate and ate,
no I did not miss a plate, well
How much do these suppers cost?
We'll take it out in hate.

I spent my hatred everyplace,
on every work on every face,
someone gave me wishes
and I wished for an embrace.

Several girls embraced me, then
I was embraced by men,
Is my passion perfect?
No, do it once again.

I was handsome I was strong,
I knew the words of every song.
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong.

Who is it whom I address,
who takes down what I confess?
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to rest.

Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one.
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child,
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?






Mon Petit Vieux - Camille

C'est lui sur le banc de square
C'est mon ami, mon amoureux
Et ça fait rire les pigeons
Parce que c'est un petit vieux

Nos rendez-vous c'est pas comme dans les films
Je cours vers lui il reste assis
Un jour il m'a même dit:
Tu es la femme du reste de ma vie
Les gens croient qu'il ne me touche pas

Mais il me touche, mon petit vieux
C'est beau ses rides autour des yeux

Des fois quand il est tard
Y'a ses potes qui l'attendent au bar
Une bière
Deux bières

Et il me parle pendant des heures
Des vies qu'il a perdues de vue
Lui au moins il n'a rien à perdre
Alors que moi je n'ai rien vu
Les gens croient qu'il ne me touche pas

Mais il me touche, mon petit vieux
C'est beau ses rides autour des yeux

Un jour on est allé danser
C'était ni techno ni reggae
Il m'a pris doucement la taille
Et j'ai senti sa main trembler

Y'avait des lumières chaudes et claires
J'entendais le bruit de ses pas
Et tout à coup j'me suis sentie
Tout près de l'au-delà
Les gens croient qu'il ne me touche pas

Mais il me touche, mon petit vieux
C'est beau ses rides autour des yeux
Mais il me touche, mon petit vieux
C'est beau ses rides autour des yeux
On dirait l'ombre des arbres sur le ciel
Bleu, bleu, bleu
