Leonard Cohen (1934-2016).
Muzicianul canadian, Leonard Cohen, a murit la vârsta de 82
de ani, pe 7 noiembrie 2016.
„Poezia este doar dovada vieţii. Dacă viaţa arde bine, poezia este cenuşa” (Leonard Cohen).
Autorul american John Green a împărăşit pe Twitter un vers din celebra melodie Anthem :
„Există o fisură în tot. Aşa intră lumina!”
„Nu urăști omenirea pentru ceea ce ți-a făcut?”,
îl întreabă Leonard Cohen pe Isus,
iar Domnul îi răspunde:
„Vorbeste de iubire, nu de ură,
asta trebuie să faci,
e târziu,
am puțin timp
și sunt doar în trecere”.
Leonard Cohen, un evreu fascinat de Isus,
a plecat dintre noi în vârful picioarelor.
Era doar în trecere... RIP!

Odihnească-se în pace!
Passing Through
(written by R. Blakeslee - ar. L. Cohen)
C F
I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
C G
„Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?”
C F
He said, „Talk of love not hate, things to do – it's getting
late.
C G C
I've so little time and I'm only passing through”.
C
Passing through, passing through.
C7
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,
F
glad that I ran into you.
C G C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
C F
I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand,
C G
I said „Now you're
out, what are you going to do?”
C F
„Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little
cane.
C G C
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through – So are
you”.
Passing through, passing through...
C F
I was with Washington at Valley Ford, shivering in the snow.
C G
I said, „How come the men here suffer like they do?”
C F
„Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
C G C
even though they know they're only passing through”
Passing through, passing through...
C F
I was with Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night before he
died.
C G
He said, „One world must come out of World War Two” (ah, the
fool)
C F
„Yankee, Russian, white or tan”, he said, „A man is still a
man.
C G C
We're all on one road, and we're only passing through”.
Passing through, passing through...
(let's do it one more time )
Passing through, passing through...
(The french songwriter
Graeme Allwright sings also this songs. Here are the french lyrics ).
De Passage
C F
J'ai vu Jésus sur la croix sur le mont Golgotha
C G
J'ai dit „En veux-tu aux hommes pour ce qu'ils t'ont fait”
C F
Il dit: „Parle d'amour et pas de haine pour toute la race
humaine
C G C
J'ai si peu de temps, je suis seulement de passage”.
C
De passage, de passage
C F
Triste, heureux, voyage, dancs ce monde en rage
C G C
Dites-leur bien je suis seulement de passage.
J'ai vu Adam quitter le jardin une pomme dans sa main
J'ai dit: „Et maintenant qu'est-ce tu vas faire?”
„Je travaillerai la terre, et je ferai des prières
Je suis orphelin, je suis seulement de passage”.
De passage, de passage ..
J'ai suivi Washington at Valley Forge, grelottant de froid
J'ai dit: „Pourquoi les hommes souffrent tant ici?”
„Pour une cause ils peuvent souffrir, sont même prêts à
mourir
Meme s'ils savent qu'ils sont seulement de passage”.
De passage, de passage ..
Auprés de Roosevelt encore, la nuit avant sant mort.
Il dit un monde doit naîetre de cet carnage.
Qu'en soit Russe, noir ou blanc, on a tous le même sens
Tous ensemble on est seulement de passage.
De passage, de passage...

Passing thru by
Blakeslee
Passing thru, passing thru
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing thru
I saw Adam leave the garden
with an apple in his hand
I said now you're out
What are you gonna do
Plant some crops and pray for rain
maybe raise a little cain
I'm an orphan and I'm only passing thru
I saw Jesus on the cross
On that hill called Calvary
Do you hate mankind for what they've done to you
He said speak of love, not hate
Things to do, it's getting late
I've so little time and I'm just passing thru
I shivered with George Washington
One night at Valley Forge
I asked why do men freeze here like they do
He said men will suffer, fight,
Even die, for what is right
Even tho they know they're only passing thru
I rode with old Abe Lincoln
On that train to Gettysburg
And I asked him what he thought to be most true
He said every man must be
Unconditionally free
We're all brothers and we're only passing thru
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side
Just a while before he died
He said one world must come out of World War II
Yankee, Russian, Black or tan
Still a man is just a man
We're all strangers and we're only passing thru
I was with those freedom riders
on that bus to Birmingham
They said all men are equal, that is true
And the answer when it came
Brought those freedom riders fame
Freedom's colors are red, white, black, and blue
