The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge,
The man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends.
The river is swollen up with rusty cans
And the trees are burning in your promised land.
And there are no letters in the mailbox,
And there are no grapes upon the vine,
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
And there are no diamonds in the mine.
Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb,
You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him.
Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night,
He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight.
And there are no letters in the mailbox
And there are no grapes upon the vine,
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,
And there are no diamonds in the mine.
(You tell them now)
Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch,
Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch,
And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride,
He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child.
And there are no letters in the mailbox,
Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine,
And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
And there are no diamonds in your mine.
And there are no letters in the mailbox,
And there are no grapes upon the vine,
And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
And there are no diamonds in your mine.
The lyrics DIAMONDS IN THE MINE of LEONARD COHEN is also present in the album Songs of love and hate (1971)
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.
