Ainda sábado...

Já conhecia algumas coisas de Leonard Cohen, mas o que me contaram sobre o seu concerto em Portugal despertou-me a curiosidade e fui pesquisar. Este senhor, natural do Canadá, tem um talento especial para escrever, sendo também músico. Deixo uma pequena amostra, um poema e uma música.

MISSION

I've worked at my work
I've slept at my sleep
I've died at my death
And now I can leave

Leave what is needed
And leave what is full
Need in the Spirit
And need in the Hole

Beloved, I'm yours
As I've always been
From marrow to pore
From longing to skin

Now that my mission
Has come to its end:
Pray I'm forgiven
The life that I've led

The Body I chased
It chased me as well
My longing's a place
My dying a sail
