Famous blue raincoat (перевод песни)

Leonard Cohen

It’s four in the morning
The end of December
I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
New-York is cold
But I like where I’m living
There’s music on Clinton street all through the evening
I hear that you’re building you house deep in the desert
Are you living for nothing now
Hope you’re keeping some king of record

Jane came by with a lock of you hair
She said that you gave into her
The night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear

The last time we saw you
You looked so much older
You famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You’d been to the station
To meet every train
But she never turned up, I mean Lili Marleine
So you treated some women to a flake of you life
And when she got home she was nobody’s wife
I see you there with a rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane’s awake
She send her regards
