Rating: ★5.0
L'Inde est remplie
de nombreuses
femmes d'une beaute exceptionelle
qui ne me desirent pas
Je verifie ceci
tous les jours
que je me promene autour
de la cite de Mumbai
Je regarde dans un visage apres un visage
et jamais une seule fois
ai-je eu tort

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
No punctuation. In Mumbai, Leonard Cohen saw many exceptionally beautiful women as he wandered around the streets, but, for some reason, they did not desirehim. He was never once wrong about that.

This way the poet was able to have an idea about Indian culture. Thanks for sharing it, Michael.
You are right: Leonard Cohen did know Mumbai and human nature very well-like intuition. He was never wrong. Thanks for a searching comment.
