The Law

LEONARD COHEN

Lyrics Translation

How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straight
I don't claim to be guilty
But I do understand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

Now my heart's like a blister
From doing what I do
If the moon has a sister
It's got to be you
I'm going to miss you forever
Tho' it's not what I planned
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

Now the deal has been dirty
Since dirty began
I'm not asking for mercy
Not from the man
You just don't ask for mercy
While you're still on the stand
There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

I don't claim to be guilty
Guilty's too grand
There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

That's all I can say, baby
That's all I can say
It wasn't for nothing
They put me away
I fell with my angel
Down the chain of command
There s a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand

[Letra de "Leonard Cohen - The Law (Traducción al Español)"]

[Verso 1]
Cuántas veces me llamaste y supe que era tarde
Dejé a todos pero nunca fui derecho
No pretendo ser culpable, pero lo entiendo
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano

[Verso 2]
Ahora mi corazón es como una ampolla de hacer lo que hago
Si la luna tiene una hermana, tienes que ser tú
Te extrañaré para siempre, aunque no es lo que planeé
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano

[Verso 3]
Ahora еl trato ha sido sucio desde que comеnzó sucio
No estoy pidiendo misericordia, no del hombre
No pidas clemencia mientras sigues en el estrado
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano

[Puente]
No pretendo ser culpable
Culpable es demasiado grande
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano

[Verso 4]
Eso es todo lo que puedo decir, cariño, eso es todo lo que puedo decir
No fue por nada que me encerraron
Caí con mi ángel por la cadena de mando
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
Hay una ley, hay un brazo, hay una mano
