The Great Event

Tradução

Leonard Cohen

Compositor: Leonard Cohen

It's going to happen very soon
The great event, which will end the horror
Which will end the sorrow

Next Tuesday when the Sun goes down
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards
This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge
Into suffering, for the last 200 million years

What a lovely night that will be
What a sigh of relief
As the senile robins
Become bright red again
And the retired nightingales
Pick up their dusty tails
And assert the majesty of creation
