Vayamos por partes, primero tomaremos Manhattan

9 mar 2012 musica

Me gusta (mucho) cuando las canciones llegan a uno sin querer. Nuestra pequeña Tiramoyanis compartió en su muro de facebook un enlace con el comentario First we take Manhattan…

Pues si a mí me dijeran que después de la intro ochentera medio maquinera “medio-cutre” de este vídeo, iba a venir un temazo de estas dimensiones, no me lo creería ni muerto. Pero es verdad. Con ustedes un tema bíblico y recordad que siempre es bueno atajar los problemas por partes. “Primero tomaremos Manhattan, y después tomaremos Berlín”

Leonard Cohen (1988) – First We Take Manhattan [Youtube. 5:59]

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom for trying to change the system from within. I’m coming now I’m coming to reward them. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I’m guided by a signal in the heavens, I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin, I’m guided by the beauty of our weapons. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I’d really like to live beside you, baby. I love your body and your spirit and your clothes. But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you, I told you, I told you, I was one of those

You loved me as a loser but now you’re worried that I just might win, you know the way to stop me but you don’t have the discipline. How many nights I prayed for this to let my work begin? First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don’t like your fashion business, mister, and I don’t like these drugs that keep you thin, I don’t like what happened to your sister. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

And thank you for those items that you sent me, the monkey and the plywood violin, I practiced every night and now I’m ready. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Remember me, I used to live for music, remember me, I brought your groceries in, It’s Father’s Day and everybody’s wounded. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
