Leonard Cohen – On The Level

Lyrics

On The Level

I knew that it was wrong
I didn’t have a doubt
I was dying to get back home
And you were starting out

I said I’d best be moving on
You said, we have all day
You smiled at me like I was young
It took my breath away

Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets all in view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don’t was saying do

Let’s keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel too

They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel too

Now I’m living in this temple
Where they tell you what to do
I’m old and I’ve had to settle
On a different point of view

I was fighting with temptation
But I didn’t want to win
A man like me don’t like to see
Temptation caving in

Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets in my view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don’t was saying do

Let’s keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel too

They ought to give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel too

They ought to give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel too

Prevod na srpski

Iskreno

Da nije u redu, to sam znao
Nisam ni sumnjao
Od želje da se kući vratim ja sam umirao
A ti si tek krenula

Rekao sam da je bolje da idem
Rekla si, ceo je dan pred nama
Nasmešila si mi se kao da sam mlad
To mi je oduzelo dah

Tvoj ludi miris na sve strane
Na videlu sve tvoje tajne
Moje izgubljeno je govorilo nađeno
Moje nemoj je govorilo učini to

Da budem iskren
Kad sam te napustio
Okrenuo sam leđa đavolu
Okrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medalju
Za to što te je ostavilo
Kada sam okrenuo leđa đavolu
Okrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Sada živim u ovom hramu
Gde ti govore šta da radiš
Star sam i morao sam se pomiriti
Sa drugačijim gledištem

Borio sam se sa iskušenjima
Ali nisam želeo da pobedim
Čovek kao ja ne voli kad se
Iskušenja na njega obruše

Tvoj ludi miris na sve strane
Preda mnom sve tvoje tajne
Moje izgubljeno je govorilo nađeno
Moje nemoj je govorilo učini to

Da budem iskren
Kad sam te napustio
Okrenuo sam leđa đavolu
Okrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medalju
Za to što te je ostavilo
Kada sam okrenuo leđa đavolu
Okrenuo sam leđa i anđelu

Mom srcu bi trebalo dati medalju
Za to što te je zaboravilo
Kada sam okrenuo leđa đavolu
Okrenuo sam leđa i anđelu
