It's four in the morning, the end of december
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New york is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on clinton street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see jane's awake --
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
-- sincerely, l. cohen
The lyrics FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT 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.
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
