در دیر مغان آمد یارم قدحی در دست
مست از می و میخواران از نرگس مستش مست
در نعل سمند او شکل مه نو پیدا
وز قد بلند او بالای صنوبر پست
آخر به چه گویم هست از خود خبرم چون نیست
وز بهر چه گویم نیست با وی نظرم چون هست
شمع دل دمسازم بنشست چو او برخاست
و افغان ز نظربازان برخاست چو او بنشست
گر غالیه خوش بو شد در گیسوی او پیچید
ور وسمه کمانکش گشت در ابروی او پیوست
بازآی که بازآید عمر شده حافظ
هر چند که ناید باز تیری که بشد از شست

در دیر مغان آمد یارم قدحی در دست
مست از می و میخواران از نرگس مستش مست
در نعل سمند او شکل مه نو پیدا
وز قد بلند او بالای صنوبر پست

Leonard Cohen , Last Year’s Man
Genre : Acoustic , Folk
Album : Songs of Love and Hate
Origin : Canada
ArtWORK : open your eyes

_

The rain falls down on last year’s man,
that’s a jew’s harp on the table,
that’s a crayon in his hand.
And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
far past the stems of thumbtacks
that still throw shadows on the wood.
And the skylight is like skin for a drum I’ll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year’s man.

I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
oh one by one she had to tell them
that her name was Joan of Arc.
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;
I want to thank you, Joan of Arc,
for treating me so well.

And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
all these wounded boys you lie beside,
goodnight, my friends, goodnight.

I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
Bethlehem the bridegroom,
Babylon the bride.
Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
and Bethlehem inflamed us both
like the shy one at some orgy.
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail.

Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain
so I hang upon my altar
and I hoist my axe again.
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
when Jesus was the honeymoon
and Cain was just the man.
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
that the wilderness is gathering
all its children back again.

The rain falls down on last year’s man,
an hour has gone by
and he has not moved his hand.
But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
the lovers will rise up
and the mountains touch the ground.
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I’ll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year’s man.

Shed a tear ’cause I’m missin’ you
I’m still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You’re in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now
I’ll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love
There’s one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I’ll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
‘Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I’ve got what it takes
To make it, We won’t fake it,
I’ll never break it
’cause I can’t take it

…little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need

I BEEN WALKIN’ THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN’ TO GET IT RIGHT
IT’S HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON’T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON’T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
‘CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME
ah

Dido , One Step Too Far
Genre : Trip hop , Trance
Album : Outrospective
Origin : England
ArtWORK : goodbye

You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won’t find peace
With you I feel I’m the meek leading the blind
With you I feel I’m just spending wasted time

I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you (with you)
It’s always one step too far

One step too far

You can whine to the bone but still you won’t be full
You can look down on the world but still you won’t find love
You won’t find love

Maxi Jazz
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
If the sun or the moon should give way to doubt,
They would immediately go out.
One swallow don’t make a summer,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Don’t Let nothing ride you
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Don’t Let nothing ride you
One swallow don’t make a summer.

I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you
It’s always one step too far
One step too far

I’ve been waiting

I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you
It’s always one step too far
One step too far

KWOON , I lived on the moon
Genre : post-rock
Album : Tales and Dreams
Origin : France
ArtWORK : Moon

Dear little lad
Here’s the story of my life
I lived on the moon
I lived on the moon

Grey flying snakes along
Mountains of destiny while
The three tailed moneys
Were drawing the stars
Light from the Sun and I
Hide myself on the dark side, alone
I’ve run so far
To find my way
Then I dream again.. alone

Dear little boy, listen
To voices of your soul
It showed you the way of
Silence and peace
Follow your thought and fly
Choosing all the things that you desire
Giant waves, fireflies..
Your dream will be your only shell
Your secrets, your hiding place, my son
Don’t let them try
To crush your brain
Let you go far
my son
