The hills

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

I can't make the hills The system is shot I'm living on pills For which I thank God My animal howls My angel's upset But I'm not allowed A trace of regret For someone will use The thing I could not be My heart will be heard Impersonally She'll step on the path She'll see what I mean My will cut in half And freedom between For this in a second Our lives will collide The endless suspended The door opened wide And she will be born To someone like you What I left undone She will certainly do I know she is coming And I know she will look And that is the longing And this is the hook I can't make the hills The system is shot I'm living on pills For which I thank God My page was too white My ink was too thinned The day wouldn't write But the night penciled in But I know she's coming And I know she will look That is the longing This is the hook I know she is coming And I know she will look That is the longing And this is the hook I can't make the hills The system is shot I'm living on pills For which I thank God I sailed like a swan I sank like a rock But time is long gone Past my laughing stock I can't make the hills The system is shot I'm living on pills For which I thank Go

Cette chanson évoque une lutte intérieure, une quête d'identité marquée par des échecs et des regrets. L’artiste ressent une profonde insatisfaction face à ses limites, tandis qu'il se raccroche à la foi et à des médicaments pour apaiser son existence. Il exprime l'espoir d'une rencontre décisive, une figure qui incarnera tout ce qu'il n'a pas pu réaliser lui-même. Le contexte de cette œuvre semble osciller entre la mélancolie et la notion de renaissance, évoquant des thèmes universels comme le désir, la liberté et la recherche de sens. À travers ses mots, il souligne le poids du passé tout en attendant avec impatience ce qui est à venir.
