Here is a Google Translation for the first link
Leonard Cohen stained with the bitterness of his poetic prayers
The Canadian singer dazzled in his first recitals in Spain
As a contemporary Lord Byron, with all the beauty and the loser with a burning violin, Leonard Cohen yesterday led thousands of León to the beauty of some songs which could directly recover, thanks to sin, after years of silence. With his hat as master of ceremonies, the Canadian poet showed throughout the concert, thanks to the great and deployment issues such as the magic of Dance me to the end of love (the waltz with the opening scene), The Future, Ain - ™ t no cure for love or Everybody knows. Leonard Cohen yesterday became one of the most important cultural events of the city who has lived and Leon Arena was capital for almost three hours of epic music that shapes a poet to transcend the mud, singing and continues to look for individuality what he considered unattainable.
Generous and genial, he shared with the audience their hymns and tells how a legendary era of unbridled dreams led him to venture into the world of religion and philosophy, and the drug Prozac. And all that said, "to conclude that no possible cure for love", one of his best songs. Futile freedom of a bird in the wire of a preceding their most famous, Everybody knows. As a messiah who has lost hope, as a redeemed Poe, claimed in her personal Gethsemane, and before the verses of chant Anthem reminded that everything has a crack, and this is the only way for the light entering the darkness. Suzanne followed, including his ode to lost love, crazy love of youth, which allows blind and go through life with eyes closed. After Boggio street, a statement of principles of a sinner, then Cohen one of his most beautiful prayers, Hallelujah, that in raising his voice and says that, as he himself says, "one begins to be wise when he realizes that is very unhappy. " Democracy came after the prayer, a hymn to United States, and immediately afterwards, I-™ m your man, a sample of the great pessimist knows laughing, exercising an irony of love and surrender and submissive absurd. Was almost ecuador when Leonard Cohen's concert showed why poetry | a verse recitation was suspended in the air, as deep as a thousand kisses-|
And suddenly, his tribute to Lorca, who was revealed to be profound and popular at the time, who guided him along the road that leads to poetry. Take this waltz was one of the most memorable moments of the show and prior to the end a new beginning, to Marianne, First We Take Manhattan, a Closing time. Yesterday, Leonard Cohen has allowed us to cross to the other side, those dreams were never fulfilled, that of the vanquished that, despite everything, still waiting, the lust for drugs and who share dreams with the hope of salvation of finding a truth that never-| Like a fisherman king, as the Jew who sang Lorca, halfway between the East River and the Bronx, as Ruth-| I beg you to stop. Where you go, I will go ...
