Seems So Long Ago, Nancy

Leonard Cohen

Lyrics Translation

It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
Looking at the Late Late show
Through a semi-precious stone
In the House of Honesty
Her father was on trial
In the House of Mystery
There was no one at all
There was no one at all

It seems so long ago
None of us were strong
Nancy wore green stockings
And she slept with everyone

She never said she'd wait for us
Although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us
In nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one

It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
A forty five beside her head
An open telephone

We told her she was beautiful
We told her she was free
But none of us would meet her in
The House of Mystery
The House of Mystery

And now you look around you
See her everywhere
Many use her body
Many comb her hair

In the hollow of the night
When you are cold and numb
You hear her talking freely then
She's happy that you've come
She's happy that you've come

It seems so long ago
Parece ter acontecido há tanto tempo atrás
Nancy was alone
Nancy estava sozinha
Looking at the Late Late show
Assistindo ao Late Late show
Through a semi-precious stone
Através de uma pedra semi-preciosa
In the House of Honesty
Na Casa da Honestidade
Her father was on trial
Seu pai estava sob julgamento
In the House of Mystery
Na Casa do Mistério
There was no one at all
Não havia ninguém
There was no one at all
Não havia ninguém
It seems so long ago
Parece ter acontecido há tanto tempo atrás
None of us were strong
Nenhum de nós era forte
Nancy wore green stockings
Nancy vestia meias-calças verdes
And she slept with everyone
E ela transava com todo mundo
She never said she'd wait for us
Ela nunca disse que esperaria por nós
Although she was alone
Embora estivesse sozinha
I think she fell in love for us
Acho que ela se apaixonou por nós
In nineteen sixty one
Em mil novecentos e sessenta e um
In nineteen sixty one
Em mil novecentos e sessenta e um
It seems so long ago
Parece ter acontecido há tanto tempo atrás
Nancy was alone
Nancy estava sozinha
A forty five beside her head
Uma calibre quarenta e cinco ao lado de sua cabeça
An open telephone
Um telefone aberto
We told her she was beautiful
Dissemos a ela que ela era linda
We told her she was free
Dissemos a ela que ela era livre
But none of us would meet her in
Mas nenhum de nós a encontraria na
The House of Mystery
Casa do Mistério
The House of Mystery
Casa do Mistério
And now you look around you
E agora você olha ao seu redor
See her everywhere
E a vê em todos os lugares
Many use her body
Muitos usam seu corpo
Many comb her hair
Muitos penteiam seu cabelo
In the hollow of the night
No vazio da noite
When you are cold and numb
Quando você está frio e entorpecido
You hear her talking freely then
Você a ouve falando livremente então
She's happy that you've come
Ela está feliz que você veio
She's happy that you've come
Ela está feliz que você veio
It seems so long ago
Parece hace tanto tiempo
Nancy was alone
Nancy estaba sola
Looking at the Late Late show
Mirando el Late Late show
Through a semi-precious stone
A través de una piedra semipreciosa
In the House of Honesty
En la Casa de la Honestidad
Her father was on trial
Su padre estaba en juicio
In the House of Mystery
En la Casa del Misterio
There was no one at all
No había nadie en absoluto
There was no one at all
No había nadie en absoluto
It seems so long ago
Parece hace tanto tiempo
None of us were strong
Ninguno de nosotros era fuerte
Nancy wore green stockings
Nancy llevaba medias verdes
And she slept with everyone
Y se acostó con todos
She never said she'd wait for us
Nunca dijo que nos esperaría
Although she was alone
Aunque ella estaba sola
I think she fell in love for us
Creo que se enamoró de nosotros
In nineteen sixty one
En mil novecientos sesenta y uno
In nineteen sixty one
En mil novecientos sesenta y uno
It seems so long ago
Parece hace tanto tiempo
Nancy was alone
Nancy estaba sola
A forty five beside her head
Un cuarenta y cinco junto a su cabeza
An open telephone
Un teléfono abierto
We told her she was beautiful
Le dijimos que era hermosa
We told her she was free
Le dijimos que era libre
But none of us would meet her in
Pero ninguno de nosotros la encontraría en
The House of Mystery
La Casa del Misterio
The House of Mystery
La Casa del Misterio
And now you look around you
Y ahora miras a tu alrededor
See her everywhere
La ves en todas partes
Many use her body
Muchos usan su cuerpo
Many comb her hair
Muchos peinan su cabello
In the hollow of the night
En el hueco de la noche
When you are cold and numb
Cuando estás frío y entumecido
You hear her talking freely then
La oyes hablar libremente entonces
She's happy that you've come
Está feliz de que hayas venido
She's happy that you've come
Está feliz de que hayas venido
It seems so long ago
Cela semble si loin

A travers une pierre semi-précieuse
In the House of Honesty

Dans la Maison du Mystère
There was no one at all
Il n'y avait personne du tout

Il n'y avait personne du tout
It seems so long ago
Cela semble si loin
None of us were strong
Aucun de nous n'était fort
Nancy wore green stockings
Nancy portait des bas verts
And she slept with everyone
Et elle a dormi avec tout le monde
She never said she'd wait for us
Elle n'a jamais dit qu'elle nous attendrait
Although she was alone
Bien qu'elle était seule
I think she fell in love for us
Je pense qu'elle est tombée amoureuse de nous
In nineteen sixty one
En mil neuf cent soixante et un
In nineteen sixty one
En mil neuf cent soixante et un
It seems so long ago
Cela semble si loin

But none of us would meet her in
Mais aucun de nous ne la rencontrerait dans
The House of Mystery

And now you look around you
Et maintenant vous regardez autour de vous
See her everywhere
Vous la voyez partout
Many use her body
Beaucoup utilisent son corps
Many comb her hair
Beaucoup peignent ses cheveux
In the hollow of the night
Dans le creux de la nuit
When you are cold and numb
Quand vous êtes froid et engourdi
You hear her talking freely then
Vous l'entendez parler librement alors
She's happy that you've come
Elle est heureuse que vous soyez venu
She's happy that you've come
Elle est heureuse que vous soyez venu
