It think Leonard Cohen still has the voice that could do this song in English true justice. A powerful song needs a powerful voice. Just wonderful!

[aliure09]

Or the bell does shake from weeping, weeping gently, weeping deeply,

Or I'm shouting to the horses that they do not run so quickly?

Just a little slower, horses, little slower now!

I pray to you don't hurry along!

But the horses that I got are capricious ones

I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song.

I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing

For a little bit more I will stand on the brink...

[aliure09]

3. Just a little slower, horses, little slower now!

Do not listen to the sharp whip, it is wrong!

But the horses that I got are capricious ones

I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song.

I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing

For a little bit more I will stand on the brink...

We are here: nobody comes late here to greet the Lord of Heaven -

Then, why do the angels sing with voices so angry and heavy?

[aliure09]

2 I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing

For a little bit more I will stand on the brink...

I will vanish - like a piece of dust by wind I will blown,

In the morning they will drag me in the sleigh through the snow,

O my horses, walk some slower, show a bit of moderation

Just a little bit, prolong my way to final destination!

[aliure09]

1. By the edge, near the cliff, at the very, very limit

I am beating at my horses with my arm, a whiplash in it.

I'm not getting enough air - drinking wind, the fog imbibing,

And I scent with deadly rapture: I am dying, I am dying!

Just a little slower, horses, little slower now!

Do not listen to the sharp whip, it is wrong!

But the horses that I got are capricious ones

I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song.

Somebody PLEASE translate this song for me?

This guy thinks the lyrics are terribly important and I would like to know what they mean before I claim it as a "Favorites" on my site.

Thank you very much.

There's a translation in the video description...

Volodya Visotsky is a legend; he is one of a kind. Every time when I hear his voice it gives me goose bumps and I want to scream and cry at the same time. I am only 28 and not even Russian, but I never stop missing him. Visotsky forever!!!

[Nagaevo]

But you know Russian...

[divosarce]

Yes, I do. I graduated from Russian high school and I currently teach Russian at US university. As a matter of fact we just talked about Visotsky a week ago and I introduced him to the American students.

[Nagaevo]

Thank you very much :)

Sometimes I think Johnny Cash was someone for americans like Visotsky for us. A little bit.

[gina9152007]

Cash wasn't political, though.... Maybe Dylan would be a better comparison?

[Nagaevo]

Yep, you're right.

By the way Cash was a little political, I guess. "Each week we lose a hundred fine young men..."
