Leonard Cohen – By The Rivers Dark – The Passion of the Christ

By The Rivers Dark

By the rivers dark

I wandered on.

I lived my life

In Babylon.

And I did forget

My holy song

And I had no strength

In Babylon.

By the rivers dark

Where I could not see

Who was waiting there

Who was hunting me.

And he cut my lip

And he cut my heart.

So I could not drink

From the river dark.

And he covered me,

And I saw within,

My lawless heart

And my wedding ring,

I did not know

And I could not see

Who was waiting there,

Who was hunting me.

By the rivers dark

I panicked on.

I belonged at last

To Babylon.

Then he struck my heart

With a deadly force,

And he said, â??This heart

It is not yours.’

And he gave the wind

My wedding ring

And he circled us

With everything.

By the rivers dark,

In a wounded dawn,

I live my life

In Babylon.

Though I take my song

From a withered limb,

Both song and tree,

They sing for him.

Be the truth unsaid

And the blessing gone,

If I forget

My Babylon.

I did not know

And I could not see

Who was waiting there,

Who was hunting me.

By the rivers dark,

Where it all goes on

By the rivers dark

In Babylon

Sting - Desert Rose

Desert Rose

لیلی یالیلی یالیلی

هدی مودا طویلى

و أنا نحوس علا غزالتی

و أنا نحوس علا غزالتی

و أنا نحوس علا غزالی

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire

those dreams are tied

to a horse that will never tire

and in the flames her shadows play

in the shape of a man’s desire

This desert rose

each of her veils, a secret promise

this desert flower

no sweet perfume ever

tortured me more than this

And as she turns

this way she moves

in the logic of all my dreams

this fire burns

I realize that nothing’s as it seems

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes, this rare perfume

is the sweet intoxication of her love

امان امان امان امان امان

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose

each of her veils, a secret promise

this desert flower

no sweet perfume ever

tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose

this memory of Eden haunts us all

this desert flower, this rare perfume

is the sweet intoxication of the fall

یا لیی اه یا لیی اه
