La Manic Lyrics


Si tu savais comme on s'ennuie
À la Manic
Tu m'écrirais bien plus souvent
À la Manicouagan
Parfois je pense à toi si fort
Je recrée ton âme et ton corps
Je te regarde et m'émerveille
Je me prolonge en toi
Comme le fleuve dans la mer
Et la fleur dans l'abeilleQue deviennent quand j'suis pas là,
Mon bel amour,
Ton front doux comme fine soie
Et tes yeux de velours?
Te tournes-tu vers la côte nord
Pour voir un peu, pour voir encore
Ma main qui te fait signe d'attendre?
Soir et matin je tends les bras
Je te rejoins où que tu sois

Et je te gardeDis-moi c' qui s' passe à Trois-Rivières
Et à Québec
Là où la vie a tant à faire
Et tout c' qu'on fait avec
Dis-moi c' qui s' passe à Montréal,
Dans les rues sales et transversales
Où tu es toujours la plus belle,
Car la laideur ne t'atteint pas,
Toi que j'aimerai jusqu'au trépas,
Mon éternelleNous autres on fait les fanfarons
À coeur de jour
Mais on est tous de bons larrons
Cloués à leurs amours.
Y en a qui jouent de la guitare,
D'autres qui jouent d' l'accordéon
Pour passer l' temps quand y est trop long
Mais moi, je joue de mes amours
Et je danse en disant ton nom,
Tellement je t'aimeSi tu savais comme on s'ennuie
À la Manic
Tu m'écrirais bien plus souvent
À la Manicouagan
Si t'as pas grand'chose à me dire,
Écris cent fois les mots «Je t'aime»:
Ça fera le plus beau des poèmes.
Je le lirai cent fois...
Cent fois cent fois c'est pas beaucoup
Pour ceux qui s'aimentSi tu savais comme on s'ennuie
À la Manic
Tu m'écrirais bien plus souvent
À la Manicouagan.

Leonard Cohen, (born 21st September 1934 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada) is a poet, novelist and musician. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he has continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry. His first published book of poetry was Let Us Compare Mythologies (1956).

Musically, Cohen's early songs are based in folk music, in terms of both melody and instrumentation; from the 1970s, though, his work begins to show the influence of various types of popular and cabaret music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in a deep bass register, accompanied by synthesisers and female backing vocals.

Despite not embarking on a tour since 1993, Cohen was forced to go on the road in 2008, following the alleged misappropriation of over U.S. $5 million from his retirement by his longtime former manager, Kelley Lynch. This left him close to bankruptcy and Cohen's mammoth world tour lasted two and a half years and included 246 shows.

Cohen's songs are often emotionally heavy and lyrically complex, owing more to the metaphoric word play of poetry than to established conventions of songcraft. His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, and complex interpersonal relationships.

Cohen's music has become highly influential to other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand cover versions of his works have been recorded. He is also popular in his native land, having been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour.
