Συνεχίζουμε χαλαρά στο mood της Μεγάλης Εβδομάδας με ένα τραγούδι του Leonard Cohen από το Ten New Songs των early ‘00s. Βασισμένο στο Βιβλίο των Ψαλμών (ψαλμός 137)
We continue loosely in Holy Week mood with a song from Leonard Cohen’s Ten New Songs from the early ’00s. It is based on the Book Of Psalms (psalm 137)

By the rivers dark
I wandered on
I lived my life
In Babylon
And I did forget
My holy song
And I had no strength
In Babylon
By the rivers dark
Where I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me
And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart
So I could not drink
From the river dark
And he covered me
And I saw within
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me
By the rivers dark
I panicked on
I belonged at last
To Babylon
Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force
And he said: “This heart
It is not yours!”
And he gave the wind
My wedding ring
And he circled us
With everything
By the rivers dark
In a wounded dawn
I live my life
In Babylon
Though I take my song
From a withered limb
Both song and tree
They sing for him
Be the truth unsaid
And the blessing gone
If I forget
My Babylon
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me
By the rivers dark
Where it all goes on
By the rivers dark
In Babylon
