A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes

Leonard Cohen

Lyrics Translation

[Verse 1]
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
Were smoking out along the open road
The night was very dark and thick between them
Each man beneath his ordinary load
"I'd like to tell my story"
Said one of them so young and bold
"I'd like to tell my story
Before I turn into gold"

[Verse 2]
But no one really could hear him
The night so dark and thick and green;
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
Where you and I have only been
Put out your cigarette, my love
You've been alone too long
And some of us are so very hungry now
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong

[Verse 3]
I sing this for the crickets
I sing this for the army
I sing this for your children
And for all who do not need me
"I'd like to tell my story"
Said one of them so bold
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold"

[Letra de "Leonard Cohen - A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes (Traducción al Español)"]

Un puñado de héroes solitarios y pendencieros
Fumaban a lo largo de la carretera
La noche entre ellos era muy oscura y espesa
Cada hombre bajo su ordinaria carga
"Quisiera contarles mi historia"
Dijo uno de ellos tan joven y audaz
"Quisiera contarles mi historia
Antes de convertirme en oro"

Pero ninguno pudo oírlo realmente
La noche era tan oscura y espesa y verde
Bueno, supongo que estos héroes tеndrán que vivir siempre aquí
Dondе sólo tú y yo hemos estado
Deja tu cigarrillo, mi amor
Has estado sola por mucho tiempo
Y algunos de nosotros estamos muy hambrientos ahora
Para escuchar qué es lo que hiciste que estuvo tan mal

Esto lo canto para los grillos
Lo canto para el ejército
Lo canto para sus niños
Y para todos los que no me necesitan
"Quisiera contarles mi historia,"
Dijo tan audaz uno de ellos
"Oh, sí, quisiera contarles mi historia
Porque saben, siento que estoy convirtiéndome en oro"
