You Want It Darker Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

You Want It Darker Songtext

If you are the dealer, I′m out of the game
If you are the healer, it means im broken and lame
If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified
Be the holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million candles burning
For the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord


There′s a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it′s written in the scriptures
And it′s not some idol claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame

They're lining up to prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggle with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn′t know I had permission
To murder and to maim
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

Magnified, sanctified
Be the holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million candles burning
For the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame


If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I′m broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

(Hineni)
(Hineni, hineni)
(Hineni)

Hineni (hebräisch) bedeutet "hier bin ich". Es ist die Antwort auf die Frage Gottes :"(Mensch) wo bist Du?"
Die englische Aussprache klingt wie "hineini"

Ein Fan

Nicht Imeni sondern Hineni *.

*übersetztsoweit ich weiß uA. "Ich komme. / Ich bin bereit. / Hier bin ich."
