Nightingale - Anjani, Leonard Cohen

I think Nightingale, from the album Dear Heather by Leonard Cohen, Anjani and Sharon Robinson, is hauntingly beautiful. I have used Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Millais, Rossetti and Burne-Jones (which I also find very beautiful) to accompany it. I hope you enjoy it.

Έχτισα το σπίτι μου δίπλα στο δάσος Για να σ’ ακούω που τραγουδάς Κι ήταν γλυκά κι ήταν ωραία Κι η αγάπη μόλις ξεκινούσε Έχε γεια αηδόνι μου Πάει καιρός πολύς που σε βρήκα Τώρα όλα τα τραγούδια σου Για την ομορφιά έχουν πάψει Το δάσος σε τυλίγει Κι ο ήλιος δύει ή χάνεται πίσω από ένα πέπλο Είναι τώρα που θα με καλούσες

[koukelichristina]

Γι’ αυτό λοιπόν, αναπαύου εν ειρήνη αηδόνι μου

κάτω από το κλαδί σου

Έχε γεια αηδόνι μου

Δεν έζησα παρά για να ‘μαι κοντά σου

Κι αν κάπου τραγουδάς ακόμη

Δεν μπορώ να σ’ακούσω πια

Fare thee well my nightingale

I lived but to be near you

Tho' you are singing somewhere still

I can no longer hear you

This song was dedicated to Carl Anderson, amazing Vocalist/Actor best known for his roll as Judas in 60's Jesus Christ Superstar Film Production as well as various tours of the broadway show. One of the greatest vocalists of our time.

Love this song, and love the Pre-Rahaelites, but where is my favorite, Waterhouse?

Great video, thanks.
