She stands before you naked
you can see it, you can taste it,
and she comes to you light as the breeze.
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it,
it don't matter how you worship
as long as you're
down on your knees.
So I knelt there at the delta,
at the alpha and the omega,
at the cradle of the river and the seas.
And like a blessing come from heaven
for something like a second
I was healed and my heart
was at ease.
O baby I waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen,
oh something like this.
And you're weak and you're harmless
and you're sleeping in your harness
and the wind going wild
in the trees,
and it ain't exactly prison
but you'll never be forgiven
for whatever you've done
with the keys.
O baby I waited ...
It's dark now and it's snowing
O my love I must be going,
The river has started to freeze.
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long on my knees.
Then she dances so graceful
and your heart's hard and hateful
and she's naked
but that's just a tease.
And you turn in disgust
from your hatred and from your love
and comes to you
light as the breeze.
O baby I waited ...
There's blood on every bracelet
you can see it, you can taste it,
and it's Please baby
please baby please.
And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
but don't forget there's still a woman
beneath this
resplendent chemise.
So I knelt there at the delta,
at the alpha and the omega,
I knelt there like one who believes.
And the blessings come from heaven
and for something like a second
I'm cured and my heart
is at ease
The lyrics LIGHT AS THE BREEZE of LEONARD COHEN is also present in the album The future (1992)
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
