Текст песни One of Us Cannot Be Wrong (Leonard Cohen) с переводом

I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me

But the room just filled up with mosquitos

They heard that my body was free

Then I took the dust

Of a long sleepless night

And I put it in your little shoe

And then I confess

That I tortured the dress

That you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor

He said I just have to quit

Then he wrote himself a prescription and your name was mentioned in it!

Then he locked himself

In a library shelf

With the details of our honeymoon

And I hear from the nurse

That he’s gotten much worse

And his practice is all in a ruin

I heard of a saint who had loved you

So I studied all night in his school

He taught that the duty of lovers is to tarnish the golden rule

And just when I was sure

That his teachings were pure

He drowned himself in the pool

His body is gone

But back here on the lawn

His spirit continues to drool

An Eskimo showed me a movie he’d recently taken of you

The poor man could hardly stop shivering

His lips and his fingers were blue

I suppose that he froze

When the wind took your clothes

And I guess he just never got warm

But you stand there so nice

In your blizzard of ice

Oh please let me come into the storm
