Born in Chains

Leonard Cohen

Lyrics Translation

I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
Lord I can no longer keep this secret
Blessed is the name, the name be praised

I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream

Word of words and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest

I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom broken is a name

I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
All my teachers told me I had myself to blame
But in the grip of sensual illusion
The sweet unknowing unifies a name

Word of words, and the measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest

I've heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
But all the ladders of the night have fallen
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up

Word of words and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest

I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
Nasci em correntes, mas fui resgatado do Egito
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
Eu estava preso a um fardo, mas o fardo foi levantado
Lord I can no longer keep this secret
Senhor, eu não posso mais guardar este segredo
Blessed is the name, the name be praised
Bendito seja o nome, o nome seja louvado
I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Eu fugi para a beira de um grande mar de tristeza
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
Perseguido pela cavalaria de um regime cruel e sombrio
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Mas as águas se abriram e minha alma atravessou ao outro lado
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream
Pra fora do Egito, pra fora do sonho do Faraó
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Palavra das palavras e a medida de todas as medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito seja o nome, o nome seja abençoado
Written on my heart in burning letters
Escrito no meu coração em letras ardentes
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Isso é tudo que eu sei, não consigo ler o resto
I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
Estava ocioso com minha alma, quando ouvi que você poderia me usar
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
Eu prestei muita atenção, mas minha vida permaneceu a mesma
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
Mas então você me mostrou onde você havia sido ferido
In every atom broken is a name
Em cada átomo quebrado há um nome
I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
Estava sozinho na estrada, seu amor era tão confuso
All my teachers told me I had myself to blame
Todos os meus professores me disseram que eu era o único culpado por isso
But in the grip of sensual illusion
Mas nas garras da ilusão sensual
The sweet unknowing unifies a name
O doce desconhecimento unifica um nome
Word of words, and the measure of all measures
Palavra das palavras e a medida de todas as medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito seja o nome, o nome seja abençoado
Written on my heart in burning letters
Escrito no meu coração em letras ardentes
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Isso é tudo que eu sei, não consigo ler o resto
I've heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of its longing
Ouvi dizer que a alma se desdobra nas câmaras de seu desejo
And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
E o licor amargo adoça no copo de âmbar
But all the ladders of the night have fallen
Mas todas as escadas da noite sucumbiram
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
Apenas a escuridão agora, para levantar o desejo
Word of words and measure of all measures
Palavra das palavras e a medida de todas as medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito seja o nome, o nome seja abençoado
Written on my heart in burning letters
Escrito no meu coração em letras ardentes
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Isso é tudo que eu sei, não consigo ler o resto
I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
Nací en cadenas pero fui sacado de Egipto
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
Estaba atado a una carga, pero la carga fue levantada
Lord I can no longer keep this secret
Señor, ya no puedo guardar este secreto
Blessed is the name, the name be praised
Bendito sea el nombre, el nombre sea alabado
I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Huí al borde de un mar de tristeza poderoso
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
Perseguido por los jinetes de un régimen cruel y oscuro
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Pero las aguas se separaron y mi alma cruzó
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream
Fuera de Egipto, fuera del sueño del Faraón
Word of words and the measure of all measures
Palabra de palabras y la medida de todas las medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito sea el nombre, el nombre sea bendito
Written on my heart in burning letters
Escrito en mi corazón en letras ardientes
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Eso es todo lo que sé, no puedo leer el resto
I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
Estaba ocioso con mi alma, cuando escuché que podías usarme
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
Seguí muy de cerca, pero mi vida permaneció igual
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
Pero entonces me mostraste donde habías sido herido
In every atom broken is a name
En cada átomo roto hay un nombre
I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
Estaba solo en el camino, tu amor era tan confuso
All my teachers told me I had myself to blame
Todos mis maestros me dijeron que tenía la culpa
But in the grip of sensual illusion
Pero en el agarre de la ilusión sensual
The sweet unknowing unifies a name
El dulce desconocimiento unifica un nombre
Word of words, and the measure of all measures
Palabra de palabras, y la medida de todas las medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito sea el nombre, el nombre sea bendito
Written on my heart in burning letters
Escrito en mi corazón en letras ardientes
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Eso es todo lo que sé, no puedo leer el resto
I've heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of its longing
He oído que el alma se despliega en las cámaras de su anhelo
And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
Y el licor amargo se endulza en la copa de ámbar
But all the ladders of the night have fallen
Pero todas las escaleras de la noche han caído
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
Solo oscuridad ahora, para levantar el anhelo
Word of words and measure of all measures
Palabra de palabras y medida de todas las medidas
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Bendito sea el nombre, el nombre sea bendito

I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
Je suis né enchaîné mais j'ai été sorti d'Egypte

Lord I can no longer keep this secret
Seigneur, je ne peux plus garder ce secret

C'est tout ce que je sais, je ne peux pas lire le reste
I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
J'étais oisif avec mon âme, quand j'ai entendu que tu pouvais m'utiliser
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
J'ai suivi de très près, mais ma vie est restée la même
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
Mais alors tu m'as montré où tu avais été blessé
In every atom broken is a name
Dans chaque atome brisé se trouve un nom
I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
J'étais seul sur la route, ton amour était si déroutant

Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
现在只有黑暗,来提升那渴望
Word of words and measure of all measures
言之词,万测之尺
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
