To a Teacher
Leonard Cohen
Ce chant est à 4 accords magiques! Il est montré ici dans la transposition originale: en le jouant avec des capo ou en le transposant, vous pouvez le ramener à Am, F, C, G.
Hurt once and for all into silence A long pain ending without a song to prove it Who could stand beside you so close to Eden When you glinted in every eye the held-high razor shivering every ram and son? And now the silent loony bin where The shadows live in the rafters like day-weary bats Until the turning mind a radar signal lures them to exaggerate Mountain-size on the white stone wall Your tiny limp How can I leave you in such a house? Are there no more saints and wizards to praise their ways with pupils No more evil to stun with the slap of a wet red tongue? Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror and rest because he had finally come? Let me cry help beside you Teacher I have entered under this dark roof As fearlessly as an honoured son enters his father's house
