Anthem
The
birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
We asked for signs
The signs were sent:
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me
You can add up the parts
You won't have the sum
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart
To love will come
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Seguendo l'inno, e leggendo il testo che ho ripreso dal Web, mi pare che manchi qualche parola nei versi, cose da poco, ma non è proprio perfetta la riproduzione del lyric.
Ringrazio il poeta Roberto Di Pietro per avermi indicato questo splendido Inno di Cohen, che non conoscevo, nonostante abbia goduto nell'ascolto di altre sue straordinarie interpretazioni. (Danila Oppio)
