LEONARD COHEN: BIRD ON THE WIRE

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

If I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I have been untrue,
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.

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?"

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
JE VEUX VIVRE TOUT SEUL

Je veux vivre, tout seul
Libre comme un oiseau sur son fil
Sans famille, sans femme et sans amis.
Je veux vivre, tout seul
Rien que moi de face et de profil
Sans visa, sans papiers et sans pays.

J’en ai marre
De toujours faire le beau,
De sourire quand j’ai mal dans mon cœur.
J’en ai marre
Je veux monter plus haut,
A l’abri des chiens et des chasseurs.

Je veux vivre, tout seul
Comme un émigrant, comme un reptile
Sans visa, sans papier et sans pays.
Je veux vivre, tout seul
Libre comme un poète en exil
Sans famille, sans femme et sans amis.

Certain soir,
Je trouve sur ta peau
Quelque chose qui ressemble au bonheur.
Mais hélas,
Tu t’endors aussitôt.
Le matin tu te lèves à 8 heures.
Je veux vivre, tout seul
Libre comme un oiseau sur son fil
Sans famille, sans femme et sans amis.
