Samson in New Orleans
Leonard Cohen, Patrick Leonard
You said that you were with me
You said you were my friend
Did you really love the city
Or did you just pretend
You said you loved her secrets
And her freedoms hid away
She was better than America
That's what I heard you say
You said how could this happen
You said how can this be
The remnant all dishonored
On the bridge of misery
And we who cried for mercy
From the bottom of the pit
Was our prayer so damn unworthy
The Son rejected it?
So gather up the killers
Get everyone in town
Stand me by those pillars
Let me take this temple down
The king so kind and solemn
He wears a bloody crown
So stand me by that column
Let me take this temple down
You said how could this happen
You said how can this be
The chains are gone from heaven
The storms are wild and free
There's other ways to answer
That certainly is true
Me, I'm blind with death and anger
And that's no place for you
There's a woman in the window
There's a bed in Tinsel Town
I'll write you when it's over
Let me take this temple down
You said you loved her secrets
Her freedoms hid away
She was better than America
That's what I heard you say
You said that you were with me
Dijiste que estabas conmigo
You said you were my friend
Dijiste que eras mi amigo
Did you really love the city
¿Realmente amabas la ciudad?
Or did you just pretend

You said you loved her secrets
Dijiste que amabas sus secretos
And her freedoms hid away
Y sus libertades escondidas
She was better than America
Ella era mejor que América
That's what I heard you say
Eso es lo que te escuché decir
You said how could this happen
Dijiste cómo pudo suceder esto
You said how can this be
Dijiste cómo puede ser
The remnant all dishonored
El remanente todo deshonrado
On the bridge of misery
En el puente de la miseria
And we who cried for mercy
Y nosotros que clamamos por misericordia
From the bottom of the pit
Desde el fondo del pozo
Was our prayer so damn unworthy
¿Fue nuestra oración tan malditamente indigna?
The Son rejected it?
¿El Hijo la rechazó?
So gather up the killers
Así que reúne a los asesinos
Get everyone in town
Consigue a todos en la ciudad
Stand me by those pillars
Párame junto a esos pilares
Let me take this temple down
Déjame derribar este templo

O remanescente todo desonrado
On the bridge of misery
