The Goal
Adam Cohen, Leonard Cohen
I can't leave my house
Or answer the phone
I'm going down again
But I'm not alone
Settling at last
Accounts of the soul
This for the trash
That paid in full
As for the fall, it
Began long ago
Can't stop the rain
Can't stop the snow
I sit in my chair
I look at the street
The neighbor returns
My smile of defeat
I move with the leaves
I shine with the chrome
I'm almost alive
I'm almost at home
No one to follow
And nothing to teach
Except that the goal
Falls short of the reach
I can't leave my house
Non posso lasciare la mia casa
Or answer the phone
O rispondere al telefono
I'm going down again
Sto cadendo di nuovo
But I'm not alone
Ma non sono solo
Settling at last
Sistemandomi finalmente
Accounts of the soul
Conti dell'anima
This for the trash
Questo per la spazzatura
That paid in full
Che ha pagato in pieno
As for the fall, it
Per quanto riguarda la caduta, essa
Began long ago
È iniziata molto tempo fa
Can't stop the rain
Non posso fermare la pioggia
Can't stop the snow
Non posso fermare la neve
I sit in my chair
Siedo nella mia sedia
I look at the street
Guardo la strada
The neighbor returns
Il vicino restituisce
My smile of defeat
Il mio sorriso di sconfitta
I move with the leaves
Mi muovo con le foglie
I shine with the chrome
Brillo con il cromo
I'm almost alive
Sono quasi vivo
I'm almost at home
Sono quasi a casa
No one to follow
Nessuno da seguire
And nothing to teach
E niente da insegnare
Except that the goal
Tranne che l'obiettivo
Falls short of the reach
Cade al di sotto della portata
I can't leave my house
Não posso sair de casa
Or answer the phone
Ou atender o telefone
I'm going down again
Estou descendo novamente
But I'm not alone
Mas não estou sozinho
Settling at last
Finalmente resolvendo
Accounts of the soul
As contas da alma
This for the trash
Isso para o lixo
That paid in full
Que pagou integralmente
As for the fall, it
Quanto à queda, ela
Began long ago
Começou há muito tempo
Can't stop the rain
Não posso parar a chuva
Can't stop the snow
Não posso parar a neve
I sit in my chair
Eu sento na minha cadeira
I look at the street
Eu olho para a rua
The neighbor returns
O vizinho devolve
My smile of defeat
Meu sorriso de derrota
I move with the leaves
Eu me movo com as folhas
I shine with the chrome
Eu brilho com o cromo
I'm almost alive
Estou quase vivo
I'm almost at home
Estou quase em casa
No one to follow
Ninguém para seguir
And nothing to teach
E nada para ensinar
Except that the goal
Exceto que o objetivo
Falls short of the reach
Fica aquém do alcance
I can't leave my house
No puedo salir de mi casa
Or answer the phone
O contestar el teléfono
I'm going down again
Estoy cayendo de nuevo
But I'm not alone
Pero no estoy solo
Settling at last
Asentándome al fin
Accounts of the soul
Cuentas del alma
This for the trash
Esto para la basura
That paid in full
Eso pagado en su totalidad
As for the fall, it
En cuanto a la caída, eso
Began long ago
Comenzó hace mucho tiempo
Can't stop the rain
No puedo detener la lluvia
Can't stop the snow
No puedo detener la nieve
I sit in my chair
Me siento en mi silla
I look at the street
Miro la calle
The neighbor returns
El vecino devuelve
My smile of defeat
Mi sonrisa de derrota
I move with the leaves
Me muevo con las hojas
I shine with the chrome
Brillo con el cromo
I'm almost alive
Estoy casi vivo
I'm almost at home
Estoy casi en casa
No one to follow
Nadie a quien seguir
And nothing to teach
Y nada que enseñar
Except that the goal
Excepto que la meta
Falls short of the reach
Queda corta del alcance
I can't leave my house
Je ne peux pas quitter ma maison
Or answer the phone
Ou répondre au téléphone
I'm going down again
Je redescends encore
But I'm not alone
Mais je ne suis pas seul
Settling at last
Enfin je m'installe
Accounts of the soul
Comptes de l'âme
This for the trash
Ceci pour les ordures
That paid in full
Qui ont payé en totalité
As for the fall, it
Quant à la chute, elle
Began long ago
A commencé il y a longtemps
Can't stop the rain
Ne peut pas arrêter la pluie
Can't stop the snow
Ne peut pas arrêter la neige
I sit in my chair
Je suis assis dans ma chaise
I look at the street
Je regarde la rue
The neighbor returns
Le voisin renvoie
My smile of defeat
Mon sourire de défaite
I move with the leaves
Je bouge avec les feuilles
I shine with the chrome
Je brille avec le chrome
I'm almost alive
Je suis presque vivant
I'm almost at home
Je suis presque chez moi
No one to follow
Personne à suivre
And nothing to teach
Et rien à enseigner
Except that the goal
Sauf que le but
Falls short of the reach
Tombe à court de la portée
I can't leave my house
Ich kann mein Haus nicht verlassen
Or answer the phone
Oder das Telefon beantworten
I'm going down again
Ich gehe wieder runter
But I'm not alone
Aber ich bin nicht allein
Settling at last
Endlich zur Ruhe kommen
Accounts of the soul
Abrechnungen der Seele
This for the trash
Dies für den Müll
That paid in full
Das voll bezahlt
As for the fall, it
Was den Fall betrifft, es
Began long ago
Begann vor langer Zeit
Can't stop the rain
Kann den Regen nicht stoppen
Can't stop the snow
Kann den Schnee nicht stoppen
I sit in my chair
Ich sitze in meinem Stuhl
I look at the street
Ich schaue auf die Straße
The neighbor returns
Der Nachbar gibt zurück
My smile of defeat
Mein Lächeln der Niederlage
I move with the leaves
Ich bewege mich mit den Blättern
I shine with the chrome
Ich glänze mit dem Chrom
I'm almost alive
Ich bin fast lebendig
I'm almost at home
Ich bin fast zu Hause
No one to follow
Niemandem zu folgen
And nothing to teach
Und nichts zu lehren
Except that the goal
Außer dass das Ziel
Falls short of the reach
Kurz vor der Reichweite liegt
