"Poetry is just the evidence of life.
 If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."

                                                       Leonard Cohen
 

 

"Poezija je samo trag zivota.
 Plamti li tvoj zivot, poezija je samo pepeo plamteceg zara."

                                                                           Leonard Cohen

One by one the guests arrive
     The guests are coming through
         The open-hearted many
               The broken-hearted few

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

And those who dance, begin to dance
     Those who weep, begin
         And welcome, welcome cries of voice
             Let all my guests come in

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

               And all goes stumbling through that house
         In lonely secrecy
     Saying "Do reveal yourself
Or why has thou forsaken me"

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

               All at once the tortures flare
         The inner door flies open
     One by one they enter there
In every style of passion

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

And here they take their sweet repast
     While house and grounds dissolve
         And one by one the guests are cast
               Beyond the garden wall

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

For those who dance, begin to dance
     Those who weep, begin
         Those who earnestly are lost
               Are lost, and lost begin

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh

                         I need you now.

               One by one the guests arrive
         The guests are coming through
     The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few

         And no one knows where the night is goin'
     And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh, love,
     I need you,
         I need you,
               I need you,
                   I need you, oh...

                         I need you now.

Leonard Cohen

(1934 - 2016)
