You Want It Darker - Leonard Cohen

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen


Lyrics: 
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game

If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni (*), hineni
I'm ready, my lord

There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame

They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame

If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni

Letra:
Si eres tú quien reparte las cartas, yo estoy fuera del juego.
Si tú eres el curandero, eso significa que estoy maltrecho y cojo.
Si tuya es la gloria, entonces mía debe ser la vergüenza.
Quieres más oscuridad,
apagamos la llama.

Magnificado, santificado, sé tu nombre sagrado.
Denigrado, crucificado, en el cuerpo humano.
Un millón de velas encendidas por la ayuda que nunca vino.
Quieres más oscuridad.

Aquí estoy, aquí estoy
Estoy listo, mi Señor.

Hay un amante en la historia,
pero esta sigue siendo la misma.
Hay una nana para el sufrimiento,
y una paradoja a la que culpar.
Pero está escrito en las Escrituras,
y no es ninguna afirmación inútil.
Quieres más oscuridad,
apagamos la llama.

Están poniendo a los prisioneros en fila,
y los guardias les están apuntando.
Yo me revolví contra algunos demonios,
eran de clase media y aburridos.
No sabía que tenía permiso para asesinar y mutilar.
Quieres más oscuridad.

Aquí estoy, aquí estoy
Estoy listo, mi Señor.

Magnificado, santificado, sé tu nombre sagrado.
Denigrado, crucificado, en el cuerpo humano.
Un millón de velas encendidas por la ayuda que nunca vino.
Quieres más oscuridad,
apagamos la llama.

Si eres tú quien reparte las cartas, déjame salirme del juego.
Si tú eres el que cura, eso significa que estoy maltrecho y cojo.
Si tuya es la gloria, entonces mía debe ser la vergüenza.
Quieres más oscuridad,

Aquí estoy, aquí estoy .
Aquí estoy, aquí estoy
Estoy listo, mi Señor

Aquí estoy
Aquí estoy, aquí estoy
Aquí estoy


(*) "Hineni" es una palabra hebrea que quiere decir "aquí estoy"

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
