Leonard Cohen – Slow

I’m slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon
I want to get there last

It’s not because I’m old
It’s not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That’s what my momma said

I’m lacing up my shoe
But I don’t want to run
I’ll get here when I do
Don’t need no starting gun

It’s not because I’m old
It’s not what dying does
I always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood

I always liked it slow:
I never liked it fast
With you it’s got to go:
With me it’s got to last

It’s not because I’m old
It’s not because I’m dead
I always liked it slow
That’s what my momma said

All your moves are swift
All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath
I thought we had all night

I like to take my time
I like to linger as it flies
A weekend on your lips
A lifetime in your eyes

I always liked it slow…

I’m slowing down the tune
I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon
I want to get there last

So baby let me go
You’re wanted back in town
In case they want to know
I’m just trying to slow it down

Prevod pesme

Laganica

Usporavam melodiju
nikad nisam voleo brzinu
Ti bi da stigneš tamo ubrzo
Ja hoću da stignem poslednji

Nije to zato što sam star
Nije zbog toga kako sam živeo
Uvek sam voleo lagano
Moja mama je pričala tako

Vezujem pertle
Ali ne želim da trčim
Stići ću kad stignem
Ne treba mi startni pištolj

Nije to zato što sam star
Nije to od umiranja
Uvek sam voleo lagano
Laganica mi je u krvi

Uvek sam voleo laganicu:
Nikad nisam voleo brzinu
Kod tebe je uvek “moram da idem”
Kod mene “mora da potraje”

Nije to zato što sam star
Nije to zato što sam mrtav
Uvek sam voleo lagano
Moja mama je pričala tako

Svi tvoji potezi su hitri
Sva tvoja skretanja su oštra
Pusti me da dođem do daha
Mislio sam da imamo celu noć

Volim da ne moram da žurim
Volim da otežem dok vreme leti
Jedan vikend na tvojim usnama
Ceo život u tvojim očima

Uvek sam voleo laganicu…

Usporavam melodiju
nikad nisam voleo brzinu
Ti bi da stigneš tamo ubrzo
Ja hoću da stignem poslednji

Zato dušo, pusti me da idem
Traže te nazad u gradu
Ako ih bude zanimalo
Ja samo pokušavam da usporim malo
