Happy Smiling Again

Lyrics

It’s a dark cave, and it swallows you up
Carribean waves, bold and seductive
Majestically they try to lure you
You’d like to go but they’d engulf you

“I want my peace”, is what he says with a grimace and frown 
His head bows down
“If it wouldn’t have been for you bastards I’d be long gone”

The sunlight can seem so cynical
It’s kindness you take as hypocritical 
Personally I’d like to avoid strife
But go ahead and make an opera of your life

Cave

Time is invented by man, if you want to do something just do it
alternative rock
Instruments: Ibanez guitar, line 6 drums, fostex mix table

Rise To Challenge

My weekend project for my Last Song.
A tribute to the Poems ans Lyrics of Leonard Cohen.

It seems my lyrics needs a little explanation.
In my head the connections are clear, but even my wife has not quite understood what I was getting at.

"Man with the Hat.., how he knows so much about the past, the present and the future"
"The Future".
- Give me back the Berlin wall
- I've seen the future, it is murder
- You never will, you never did
It was the last song on "Natural Born Killers" and probably the moment
when I first noticed Leonard Cohen as a really cool artist. When we got married in the USA in 2010, we rented a Mustang
Convertible for our honeymoon and drove it through the desert. We were often greeted with Mickey and Malory. That was quite amusing.

"twenty years of boredom is just a blink of an eye"
"First we Take Manhtten"
- They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom

"the holy dove..."
"Hallelujah"
- "And I remember when I moved in you and the holy dove she was moving too and eery single breath we drew was Hallelujah"
this is obviously a very erotic allusion. In my imagination, the dove is now "pregnant" and must hatch the egg. She will raise it full of love.

"how many miracles ..."
"Waiting for the Miracle" First song on "Natural Born Killers"
- But i was waiting for the Miracle
- I've been waiting night and day

"His songs of hope are not like songs of people in danger..."
In connection with the Ukraine conflict, my father just told me how he sat in the air raid shelter bunker during Worl War II and sang together to drown out the sirens.
They were certainly not poetic songs, but they served to spread hope. Today, when he listens to the news about Russian War he remembers how scared he was by the sirens.

"especially now, on a Wednesday"
this has no relation to Cohen. My wife reported to me last Wednesday walking down the street. An ambulance came across the redlightning crossroads at high speed.
She was trying to warn a woman who was carelessly walking across the street with her cell phone to her ear.
Instead of thanking her she was insulted in what tone she was talking to her. In the context of the sentence: "would you rather die? On a Wednesday of all days?"

"Everybody knows..." song with this title.
Means that many people are not interested in this kind of lyrics. They are only concerned with the now.

"Lost for so long...rise like the phoenix from the ashes"
- 1996, Cohen was ordained as a monk until he returned in 2001 with "ten new songs"

"With wine and cigarettes..."
"Tower of Song"
- I was born with the gift of a golden voice
- he started smoking again at 80 finally live it up and stop worrying about the consequences shortening your life by much

"Without any choice he reaches our hearts"
"A singer must die"
- And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice

"..come to that hotel in New York.."
"Chelsea Hotel #2"
During a visit to New York we of course also visited the Chelsea Hotel. In the lobby hung some artworkds painting by Leonard Cohen.
Lyrics of "Chelsea Hotel #2"
- "While the limousines wait in the street."
- "Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,"
- "You just turned your back on the crowd" (This line appears later in my lyrics)

"the lock of hair, one of his sleeping enemies"
"Famous Blue Raincoat"
- "Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair "
- "Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free"

"has falling to the ground ..."
"I'm Your Man"
- "Ah, but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees"

"As he looked at her, she started to cry..."
During a concert in Las Vegas, a lady boarded the stage, fell at his feet and gave him a rose.
The security guards panicked, but he took the rose and just smiled charmingly.

"He is the keeper of truth..."
"A singer must die"
- "you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty"
- "Your vision is right, my vision is wrong"

Other  lyrics are freely invented by me but inspired by him to create a framework for this song..

El Espejo de la Vida

Dejadnos volar, dejadnos soñar
Queremos estar en tu mirada
Dejadnos sonreír
Sólo un poco de amor y nos iremos a aquel lugar secreto
Donde el ayer es el mañana y hoy es el ayer
Donde sale la luna y la luna es el espejo de nuestro amor
De nuestros sueños

Dejadnos jugar, dejadnos amar
Sólo di en donde estas y entraremos a tu mirada
Y ahí dormiremos
Mañana nos veremos en la luna
Viviremos nuestros sueños
Soñaremos que nos vimos en el espejo de nuestro amor
De nuestros sueños

Dejadnos volar, dejadnos soñar, dejadnos sonreír, dejadnos amar

Dejadnos ver el sol
La esperanza del nuevo día, la noche no es para siempre
Un nuevo día llegará
Porqué nos alejamos, porqué nos callamos
Nuestro silencio borra la imagen de nuestros sueños
De nuestro amor

En el espejo de la vida
En el espejo de nuestros sueños
De nuestros lugares secretos 
Ummmm ahí estaremos contigo!

Dejadnos volar, dejadnos soñar, dejadnos sonreír
Dejadnos amar uhhh dejadnos amar
Dejadnos sonar, dejadnos volar al espejo de la vida

 
The Mirror of Life

Let us fly, let us dream
We want to be in your eyes
let us smile
Just a little love and we'll go to that secret place
Where yesterday is tomorrow and today is yesterday
Where the moon rises and the moon is the mirror of our love
of our dreams

Let us play, let us love
Just say where you are and we will enter your gaze
And there we will sleep
Tomorrow we will see each other on the moon
We will live our dreams
We will dream that we saw ourselves in the mirror of our love
of our dreams

Let us fly, let us dream, let us smile, let us love

let us see the sun
The hope of the new day, the night is not forever
a new day will come
Why do we walk away, why do we keep quiet
Our silence erases the image of our dreams
Of our love

In the mirror of life
In the mirror of our dreams
Of our secret places
Ummmm we'll be there with you!

Let us fly, let us dream, let us smile
Let us love uhhh let us love






Le Miroir de la Vie

Volons, rêvons
Nous voulons être dans tes yeux
sourions
Juste un peu d'amour et nous irons dans cet endroit secret
Où hier est demain et aujourd'hui est hier
Où la lune se lève et la lune est le miroir de notre amour
de nos rêves

Jouons, aimons-nous
Dites simplement où vous êtes et nous entrerons dans votre regard
Et là nous dormirons
Demain on se verra sur la lune
Nous vivrons nos rêves
Nous rêverons que nous nous sommes vus dans le miroir de notre amour
de nos rêves

Volons, rêvons, sourions, aimons

voyons le soleil
L'espoir du nouveau jour, la nuit n'est pas éternelle
un nouveau jour viendra
Pourquoi s'éloigne-t-on, pourquoi se tait-on
Notre silence efface l'image de nos rêves
De notre amour

dans le miroir de la vie
Dans le miroir de nos rêves
De nos lieux secrets
Ummmm nous serons là avec vous!

Volons, rêvons, sourions
Aimons-nous euhhh aimons-nous
Rêvons, envolons-nous vers le miroir de la
