Dàmose da fa' (1)

Mon 18 Apr 2005, 12.45

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.


Leonard Cohen, Bird on the wire (from Songs from a Room, 1969).
