LEONARD COHEN - WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE
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
Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
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.
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.

LEONARD COHEN - ESPERANDO EL MILAGRO.
Cielo, he esperado,
he esperado día y noche.
Ni miré la hora,
media vida se me ha ido esperando.
He recibido muchas invitaciones
He recibido muchas invitaciones
y se que algunas eran tuyas,
pero esperaba
el milagro, a que el milagro llegara.
Sé que de verdad me querías
pero, ya ves, mis manos estaban atadas.
Ha debido herirte,
ha debido herir tu orgullo
permanecer bajo mi ventana
con la corneta y el tambor,
mientras yo arriba esperaba
el milagro, a que el milagro llegara.
No creo que te gustara,
no te gustaría esto.
Nada con que entretenerse,
sólo juicios severos.
El Maestro dice es Mozart
pero suena como a chicle
cuando esperas
el milagro, a que el milagro llegue.
Esperando el milagro
no hay nada más que hacer.
No he sido tan feliz
desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
Nada que hacer
si sabes que no te perteneces.
Nada que hacer
cuando mendigas migajas.
Nada que hacer
cuando has de seguir esperando,
esperando a que el milagro llegue.
He soñado contigo, Cielo
apenas la otra noche.
Buena parte de ti desnuda
y el resto pura luz.
Las arenas del tiempo caían
de entre tus dedos
y esperabas
el milagro, a que el milagro llegara.
Vamos a casarnos, Cielo,
ya hemos estado solos lo suficiente.
Estemos solos juntos.
A ver si somos capaces.
Vamos a hacer algo absurdo,
algo completamente erroneo
mientras esperamos
el milagro, a que el milagro llegue.
Nada que hacer
si sabes que no te perteneces.
Nada que hacer
cuando mendigas migajas.
Nada que hacer
cuando has de seguir esperando,
esperando a que el milagro llegue.
Si has caído en la carretera
en el suelo bajo la lluvia,
y te preguntan como lo llevas
por supuesto dices que no te puedes quejar-
Si tratan de sacarte información
tienes que hacerte el tonto:
Dí solamente que esperas
el milagro, a que el milagro llegue.
