| Leonard Cohen – Take This Waltz Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
dakini, I'm impressed by your knowledge of Lorca's personal history. As a Spanish speaking Argentine, I've always been captivated by Lorca’s poetry. But I must admit I never really tried before to decipher the deep meaning of some of them. You seem to go a long way in helping understand Pequeño Vals Vienes. Your reading of the blue boys as being sailors, for ex., makes lots of sense, as the Spanish word for ‘blue’ does not mean sad at all, contrary to what someone else has suggested here. Was wondering if you’d be willing to share some more of your knowledge. Also: is there any bibliography/author you can recommend about it? In this particular case, I find Cohen’s Take this Waltz of amazing beauty. True, he took some artistic licenses, but I think he absolutely grasped the overall meaning/feeling of Lorca’s poem. |
