Leonard Cohen

Ontem , Leonard Cohen deu um excelente concerto no Pavilhão Atlântico, em Lisboa. Aos 76 anos, actuou com mestria durante três horas e meia, provocando a admiração do público e óptimas críticas pela Comunicação Social.
Ei-lo, em "Dance Me to the End of Love" do album " Various Positions" de 1984, uma das mais belas canções de sempre desta voz tão peculiarmente grave e rouca.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til i'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in babylon
Show me slowly what i only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
