Leonard Cohen – In My Secret Life

Lyrics

In My Secret Life

I saw you this morning.
You were moving so fast.
Can’t seem to loosen my grip
On the past.
And I miss you so much.
There’s no one in sight.
And we’re still making love
In my secret life.

I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank God it’s not that simple
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In my secret life.

Katie Melua – In My Secret Life

Prevod na srpski

U mom životu tajnom

Video sam te jutros.
Jako si žurila.
Izgleda da nisam u stanju da se oslobodim
Prošlosti.
A tako mi nedostaješ.
Nema nikog na vidiku.
A mi i dalje vodimo ljubav
U mom životu tajnom.

Smejem se kada sam ljut.
Varam i lažem.
Radim ono što moram
Da preživim.
Ali znam šta je pogrešno,
I znam šta je ispravno.
A za istinu bih život dao
U svom životu tajnom.

Drži se, drži se, moj brate.
Sestro moja, drži se čvrsto.
Konačno su mi izdate naredbe,
Marširaću kroz jutro,
Marširaću kroz noć,
Prelaziti granice
Svog života tajnog.

Pregledao sam taj dokument.
Da zaplačeš.
Nikog nije briga da li ljudi
Žive ili umiru.
A onaj što karte deli želi da misliš
Da je ili crno ili belo.
Hvala bogu što nije tako prosto.
U mom životu tajnom.

Grizem usnu.
Prihvatam ono što mi se kaže:
Od poslednjeg hita,
Do mudrosti starijih.
Ali ja sam uvek sam.
I moje srce je kao led.
A gužva je i hladno
U mom životu tajnom.
