IN MY SECRET LIFE by LEONARD COHEN

 

(Pensée Secréte)

 

If love is just an (illusion); I (question the reason) why

my (secret thoughts) inside my mind were ever allowed to die

We (established) a collusion.

I knew (better) than to ask him why

our (simple) souls and (journey)

would cause a (sanglanté) hue and cry

I have come to the conclusion that he out-(manoeuvre)d my

attempts to win him over (even) though he didn't try.

I was under the delusion that he (could) and would not lie,

but love just caused confusion and left me high and dry.

Was our bridge (of) spinal fusion?

Were we conjoined twins he and I?

Only he understands this allusion

to say au revoir or say good-bye.

(L'affaires étrangères) allows suffusion

to slowly flush me with a sigh.

The silence passes without intrusion,

like when we feel (the end) is nigh.

I feel the soft occlusion or is it (something else) nearby

transferred by rediffusion,

the message true love will never die

 

(In all sincerity I believe)d (him) and (with new spirit) I survive

(They would like) to tell me please don't trust him;

(that their) thoughts were always right

But then (again), I ask if (it was) or was (not so),

(by) the time he reads this rhyme

(297) will have lost all it's meaning

and all the clues thence lost in time.
