Letra de Introduction (Live at Isle of Wight Festival, UK)
Are you guys ready? Everybody ready? Next artist is a novelist, poet, an author and an album recorder, he's been trying to get here since 10: 30 yesterday morning... Would you welcome Leonard Cohen ... Greetings, greetings! When I was seven years old my father used to take me to the circus. He had a black mustache and a great vast and pansy in his lapel. He liked the circus better than I did. But there was one thing, it happened I always used to wait for. I don't wanna impose on you, this is not sing along with mitch. But there was one moment, a man would stand up and say would everybody light a match, so he can locate one and other. Could I ask you each person to light a match, so I can see where you all are? Could each of you light a match, so you sparkle like fireflies each at different heights, I would love to see those matches flare. Oh yea... Now, I know, I know that you know why you lighting them. Yea... Thank you. A lot of people without matches. Oh it's good to be here alone in six hundred tousand people. It is a large nation but it is still weak. Still very weak. Needs to be a lot stronger before I claim a right to land.
