(Written By Cohen, Performed In "Night Magic")
(Angels) You can't do this
You must do what
We must do what must be done
(Judy) I hear my baby calling
He is asking to be born
I see the curtains parting
That our kisses have outworn ...
(Angels) Kisses all outworn...
(Judy) I'll raise a tent of shelter
Now though every thread is torn
(Angels) Every thread is torn...
(Judy) I take my life from realms of light
And hang it on a thorn
(Angels) Hanging on a thorn...
(Judy) I hear the children calling
Asking to be born
I see the curtains parting
And my life upon a thorn
The stars have lost their fire
And the moon has lost her voice
And I'm coming back to find you
I have made the human choice.
(Angels) You've made your choice
The world you choose
Garlands of planets and starlight
Now you lose
(Judy) He's the only one who knows me
He's the riddle of my life
And they'll never tell the story
Of the husband and the wife
(Angels) The world she chooses, she loses...
(Judy) He's the stone that broke my heart
The foundation of my home --
(Angels) This we must do!
(Judy) He's the sweetness of the sweetness
Of the sweetness honeycomb
(Angels) We must do what we must do!
(Judy) And he's welcome to his glory
And he's buried in my life
And they'll never tell the story
Of the husband and the wife
(Angels) She takes her life from realms of light
(Valkyries) She hangs it on a thorn
(Angels) She disobeys the law
(Valkyries) The law is broken
You must get them
(Angels) Get him.
(Valkyries) Get them!

Leonard Norman Eliezer Cohen (Montreal, 21 settembre 1934 – Los Angeles, 7 novembre 2016) è stato un cantautore, poeta, scrittore e compositore canadese di origine canadese-israeliana. Considerato uno dei cantautori più influenti del XX secolo, Cohen ha raggiunto fama internazionale con il suo stile musicale caratterizzato da melodie malinconiche e testi poetici che esploravano temi come la religione, l'amore, la perdita e la spiritualità. La sua carriera artistica è durata oltre cinque decenni, durante i quali ha pubblicato 14 album in studio, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Cohen ha iniziato la sua carriera come poeta pubblicando diversi libri di versi prima di dedicarsi alla musica negli anni '60. Il suo debutto discografico, *Songs of Leonard Cohen*, risale al 1967 e include brani diventati classici come "Suzanne" e "So Long, Marianne". Nel corso degli anni '70 e '80 ha esplorato nuovi generi musicali, collaborando con artisti come John Cale e i suoi album *New Skin for the Old Ceremony* (1974) e *Various Positions* (1984) hanno riscosso grande successo. Nel 2001 ha pubblicato l'album *Ten New Songs*, che ha segnato un ritorno alla forma musicale più tradizionale. Oltre alla musica, Cohen è stato anche un prolifico scrittore di romanzi, saggi e poesie. La sua opera letteraria è stata ampiamente riconosciuta e premiata. Nel 2016, poco prima della sua morte, ha pubblicato il suo ultimo album *You Want It Darker*. Leonard Cohen è ricordato come una figura iconica della musica e della cultura contemporanea, la cui eredità continua a ispirare artisti e appassionati di musica in tutto il mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
