Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen

Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen

Published by Cey 10-03-2008

'Famous Blue Raincoat' Laonard Cohen'in 1971 yılında çıkardığı üçüncü albümü 'Songs Of Love and Hate' de yer alır.

Şarkı bir mektuptan yazılmıştır . Daha doğrusu şarkının kendisi üçlü bir aşk ilişkini konu alan mektuptur . Olay mektubu yazan , Jane adında bir kadın ve mektubun gönderildiği kişi ( şarkıdaki my brother , my killer dediği) arasında geçmekte. Sözlerinden anlaşıldığı üzere Jane mektubu yazan kişiyle evli ve mektubun gönderildiği kişiyle bir ilişki yaşamış. Mektubun Sincirly L.Cohen olarak bitmesindende mektubu gönderenin yani aldatılan kişinin Leonard Cohen olduğu anlaşılıyor.

Leonard Cohen'in en iyi şarkılarından biridir , Best Of Leonard Cohen albümündede yer alır. Bildiğim kadarıyla Tori Amos tarafından cover yapılıp , Joan Baez bir konserinde söylemiştir.

Buarada şarkıda bahsi geçen yağmurluk burberry etiletlidir.

"I had a good raincoat then, a Burberry I got in London in 1959. Elizabeth thought I looked like a spider in it. That was probably why she wouldn't go to Greece with me. It hung more heroically when I took out the lining, and achieved glory when the frayed sleeves were repaired with a little leather. Things were clear. I knew how to dress in those days. It was stolen from Marianne's loft in New York sometime during the early seventies. I wasn't wearing it very much toward the end."

Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics )

it's four in the morning, the end of december
i'm writing you now just to see if you're better
new york is cold, but i like where i'm living
there's music on clinton street all through the evening.
i hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now, i hope you're keeping some kind of record.

yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?

ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
and you came home without lili marlene

and you treated my woman to a flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife.

well i see you there with the rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well i see jane's awake --

she sends her regards.

and what can i tell you my brother, my killer
what can i possibly say?
i guess that i miss you, i guess i forgive you
i'm glad you stood in my way.

if you ever come by here, for jane or for me
your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
i thought it was there for good so i never tried.

and jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear

sincerely, l. cohen
