The Butcher

LEONARD COHEN

Testi Traduzione

I came upon a butcher,
He was slaughtering a lamb,
I accused him there
With his tortured lamb.

He said, Listen to me, child,
I am what I am and you, you are my only son.
Well, I found a silver needle,
I put it into my arm.

It did some good,
Did some harm.
But the nights were cold
And it almost kept me warm,
How come the night is long?
I saw some flowers growing up
Where that lamb fell down

Was I supposed to praise my Lord,
Make some kind of joyful sound?
He said, Listen, listen to me now,
I go round and round
And you, you are my only child.

Do not leave me now,
Do not leave me now,
I'm broken down
From a recent fall.

Blood upon my body
And ice upon my soul,
Lead on, my son, it is your world.

[Letra de "Leonard Cohen - The Butcher (Traducción al Español)"]

Me encontré con un carnicero
Él estaba sacrificando un cordero
Lo acusé ahí mismo
Con su torturado cordero
Dijo, "Escúchame, niño
Yo soy lo que soy
Y tú, tú eres mi único hijo"

Bueno, encontré una aguja de plata
La puse en mi brazo
Hizo algo de bien
Hizo algo de daño
Pero es que las noches eran frías
Y eso casi me mantuvo caliente
¿Cómo es que la noche es larga?

Vi algunas flores que crecían
Donde el cordero cayó
¿Debía alabar a mi Señor
Emitir algún sonido de alegría?
Dijo, "Óyemе, óyeme ahora
Yo doy vueltas y vuеltas
Y tú, tú eres mi único hijo."

No me dejes ahora
No me dejes ahora
Estoy roto
Por una caída reciente
Sangre sobre mi cuerpo
Y hielo sobre mi alma
Lidera, hijo mío, es tu mundo

{Instrumental}
