Manhattan (First We Take Manhattan)
Mój wyrok brzmiał: dwadzieścia lat znużenia
Tak karzą tych co system zmienić chcą
Powracam niosąc zemstę i zniszczenie
Najpierw wziąć Manhattan, potem Berlin wziąć
Prowadzi mnie do szturmu znak na niebie
I piętno które muszę nosić wciąż
Prowadzi piękno śmiercionośnej broni
Najpierw wziąć Manhattan, potem Berlin wziąć
Naprawdę dobrze było mi przy tobie
Kocham twój urok, kocham tupet, nawet strój
Lecz tylko spójrz na szyny kolejowe
Mówiłem, mówiłem, mówiłem nie wytrzymam tu
Mam już dosyć życia w mrocznym cieniu
Pragnę wyjść z podziemia mówiąc wprost
Nie mam żadnych wspomnień na sumieniu
Najpierw wziąć Manhattan, potem Berlin wciąć
Tekst oryginalny
Leonard Cohen
First We Take Manhattan
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided ...
Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
