German lyrics

Post by buddhaxxl »

Hello Cohen-fans
I am new at this board, and all I want is to announce that I have made translations of all Cohen songs into German language. I am a 60 years old Zen disciple, a musician and a psychotherapist so I hope I made a good job (hum, was about 4 weeks of constant sorrow ;-)).

Thank for your kind attention,

Hi, i am new at the forum, too, hello everybody…and I would like to say thanks to buddhaxxl for such a dedicated effort of translation. Nice and clear page layout.
I am also bowing down to your effort … effortless since you enjoyed it so much, you must have had a highly inspired time!

Any plans or hopes for translating as well every single Tom Waits song? Can't wait!!
...a tune in my soul
and my heart the shape of a begging bowl
