Lyrics:
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where the doves go to die
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallway where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging it's tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
With its very own breath of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. It's all that there is
{Instrumental}
(Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

I assume many of you already know, but for those who don't: the lyrics of this incredibly beautiful song are based on a poem ("Pequeño vals vienés") by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, who was killed by the Fascists in 1936. Leonard Cohen was a big fan of Lorca's poetry.

I was lucky enough to attend several of Mr. Cohen's later concerts. It was always great, but the "best" moment was always when he introduced everyone on stage. Sometimes not even on stage, but the light and sound people too. And he always did it with such grace and respect. The world was a little bit better with him in it.

[@budahbaba7856]

Edward, Leonard Cohen was one of those anomalies that he kept sounding better as he aged. I also bowed my knee to him publicly as a prophet. I am a Christian, he was a Jew, but he was the gate keeper of something from the Divine i sought.

[@edwardbrackenborough1867]

@@budahbaba7856 Firstly I am Marlene (female) For reasons best known to herself my granddaughter decided to put every item on my phone in my husband's name !! I really need to try and change it. I too am Christian with some Jewish ancestry. I am probably repeating myself, but I am totally mesmerized and bewitched by the 70 + year old Leonard Cohen. I feel I can "read" the emotion in his soul during these late in life tour performances. I find myself compelled to watch whilst I listen to him. I thought he was a magnetic talent in his earlier years, but the stirring in my soul that his later genius brings on in me is uncanny. I absolutely adore him and his amazing musical magic to a degree far above any earthly comprehension. I bow/curtsey to his amazing,compelling musical genius and persona. Marlene

[@katherinemorgan6254]

I thought I had something to say, but this reply says it all for me. I do need to add that I just heard Hallelujah a few days ago and am now obsessed with finding out all I can about this man and his songs/poetry. Thank you Leonard.

[@edwardbrackenborough1867]

Hi there, I'm Marlene (not Eddie!!!) I am so thrilled that you liked my emotion about Mr Cohen in his latter years. It's difficult to explain in words how he moves me to feel. I see and feel a tenderness and holiness radiating from his face, and indeed his very presence. The lyrics of his songs are nothing short of poetic or factual beauty. I am drawn to this bounteous presence like a moth to a flame. I can't stop watching and listening once I start. I am of advancing years and reflect on death quite a bit. When I watch Leonard (the elder) I feel relaxed and comforted about passing. As I am watching, his physical being removes my fear of death. We all know that's what awaits us at the end of this journey called life. Thank you Mr Cohen for your comfort and enlightenment. I will hold it in my heart until I say "good bye" to flesh and blood.

[@dmgiova3788]

I agree, Marlene. A friend of mine back when I was about 16 was into his poetry and music. I was vaguely interested in him and remembered his song "Suzanne". Then I heard Hallelujah and I was in love. He just reminds me SO much as he aged in looks and eyes and smile of someone else who was a very dear friend.

Leonars Cohen, the musician who through his music could transform a tough man into a great romantic, the performer who knew how to intertwine the autumn leaves with the roses of May. That poet who is able to sing to you and describe your death as the long-awaited bride and love as a leaf taken to dance by the winter wind. The night sky is darker due to the loss of a star, as if there is more pain in the cry of the wind since he left, and the sea wipes its tears from the shore where the seagull fell. Leonard, sing to the stars and the moon as only you know how to do it R.I.P. 💚

Yes. I saw this tour twice (!) in Detroit and Boston in a period of 10 days or so. I recently found my copy of this CD after a few years. The sisters have angelic voices, particularly Hattie in this song.

맞는 말입니다!

Wonderful to read the Lorca poem to see how Cohen created song from the original poem. Likely even better if one can read Spanish but the translation is wonderful too.

Saw Leonard at his last Australian concert in Melbourne. A highlight of my life, as an older guy he did an amazing performance. Mesmerising. Never forget it. So glad I was able to go.

I’m so sad that I’ve missed out on knowing about this amazing singer/poetic man. Thankfully he leaves behind his music, poetry, and videos for his newest and upcoming fans. ❤️❤️❤️
