AAY  YAY YAY YAY TAKE THIS WALTZ

[PrayingAngels]

Sending this to you JW .....That is the first song you sent me on facebook...Thank you ,John! You'll always have a place in my heart my sweet man! <3

[butchblosc]

Broken love, sorrow, despair, waltzing our tears so beautifully....

[brautti]

Je t'adore.

[oleoks1]

Me encanta este tema...

[brautti]

Je t'aime, et je t'envoie cette chanson, mon amour.

[unneboy]

@brautti désolé, je ne t'aime plus

[905trickster]

i love the older gen songs

[gemuma56]

C'est un homme dangereux:si on l'entend 1 seule fois,on est accro!Je crois que c'est du whisky,que c'est Dustin Hoffman qui lui ressemble,que j'aimerais bien qu'il revienne en France,mais pas si cher!!Que je l'adore,et que j'ai beaucoup valsé entre les voitures entre Plouay et Paris!

[dc56x]

it makes me cry...

[denrou1]

@dc56x Oh yes, this song makes me cry too... reminds me of lies, unkept promises, and missed chances... and waiting for somebody in vain, just so useless. No morelies.

[MsDobrita]

I love it!

[manfresch1]

sau sau geil...wer den einmal live erlebt hat kommt nicht mehr los!!!!!

[SylvieEvin]

laisse aller, c est une valse....

reviens encore en France Leonard

mais toutes les francaises voudront te garder:)

[eldadmi]

is it tea or whiskey in his mug? ?

[chirivitas16]

cerramos los ojos mientras escuchamos y !llegamos al paraíso musical!!

[maverickslb80]

At the beggining he looks like Dustin Hoffman :D

[ZillahMagenta]

True magnificence on display, ladies and gentlemen!

Just imagine what he'd say had he not been constrained by the rhythm of the waltz. You can see it on his face!

[ErikaKristofikova]

fantasticke

[smartgirl002]

I loved a man who did not know what love is. Now I am alone and helpless, and do not know what to do, Leonard. It is only Your beautiful songs that have remained.

(And these 25 people with their dislikes; why don't they just go and listen to songs that they like??)

[TedMichaelMorgan]

This is one of the most romantic, erotic, and tender songs I have heard. This is one of the best covers of it.

[lukasnummer1]

@TedMichaelMorgan It´s not a cover, it´s written by him.

[TedMichaelMorgan]

@lukasnummer1 Yes, you are right! This is one of his best performances.

[multical100]

@TedMichaelMorgan Written by Lorca

[TheBluePostman]

@xxLimbo85xx because this is beautiful and inspiring music for everyone but especially peaceful people

[candyernie]

I also met him when I was a young idiot in Montreal. He used to eat at a cafe we hung out at, and often looiked at us and shook his head!!!!

[habibilee]

I heard this song in a Tango festival in NZ 3 months ago and I have fallen in love with his voice and wards. You can listen to him for ever.

[FirstUsedBooks]

Oh Leonard, so much you have given us, so often you have made me weep in the beautiful fit of your music and words.

[koreta9]

I love this song !!!!

[gatawyntwo]

Doves will die if their wings are cut off, but then they will definitely not fly out of the cage.

[oltishqip]

[katina53]

I met him in Denmark, we were in the same hotel. I get an autograf, and he shake my hand.

[19rmarylou]

@katina53

Lucky You "katina53" ! He is my heartsinger....til I die !!!

[Zitrixa]

[vonEstangen]

[zahruchi]

[9elyzabeth]

Thank You so much Mr.Cohen.

[beaf1]

There's a treeeeeee, were the dogs go to diee. Love the way he says that.

[peacenikkle]

Franco tried to bury the memory of Frederico Garcia Lorca. Spains greatest Poet. The Failed because Cohen turned me onto Lorca. Lorca lives forever and Fascist Spain is hopefully Buried. Take this Waltz.

[GrannyTenderstone]

is that Jennifer Warnes? I have only seen her with dark hair somewhere I think. She looks lovely. She's the best backup singer he ever had!!



[arealOpia1991]

what year was this ??

[chloeencore]

love everlasting

[madalenarelvao]

Sublime! Sentimo-nos a ascender em espiral...

[Evelle30]

One of the most beautiful and poetic souls ever to fall from heaven - I love you Leonard :)

[trythinkingmighthelp]

We see hell'uv a better actresses on Private Spice than these self proffesed artists.

[uneroseestune]

le texte est la traduction d'un poème de Federico Garcia Lorca

[iomariacri]

dance dance with me, Mr. Cohen...e danzando girando tutt'attorno saremo come due bambini che giocano , e cadono....

[misterclaudioluigi]

Magnifique!! A 4:14 superbe duo. Merveilleuse expression de visage de la chanteuse.C'est vraiment un sommet de la chanson de variété!!!

[tzsoka51]

Gyönyörű! Simogató!

[Mr242723]

The backup vocalists are Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen. They both are brilliant.

[mintasminta]

Volt egy tánc....../Hungarian!/

[TheEgvg]

This song was translated from a poem by one of the greatest Spanish poets Federico García Lorca. So, the name of Leonard's daugther is Lorca. Leonard put music to the poem. It has other spanish good version with a flamenco singer Enrique Moriente very, very good "Pequeño Vals Vienes" - Enrique Moriente - IMPRESIONANTE

[pattyfromtoledo]

@TheEgvg thank you so much for this ~ I learn so much from youtube comments. I hadn't listened to this song for a long time ~ soooo beautiful!!

[ovetjkin]

Someone knows the names on the vocals?

[kwai65]

jennifer warnes kicking ass

no doubt about that

and leonard classy mate !!!!

you're the man

and van morrison

[tesoro6355]

Beautiful. I never get tired of listening to his songs and poems.

Leonard Cohen you are a great performer and among my favorites.

[lazyles26]

Oh for god's sake Leonard take me to bed.

[evavanjava]

i just love this song! 

[ZLUGGO]

Those back up ladies are gorgeous.

[ZLUGGO]

That back up vocals lady is gorgeous.

[DeathbySCREAMO]

I could pull a random bum off the street and he could sing better than this. Tom Waits > Leonard Cohen

[edelweiss1001]

@DeathbySCREAMO

possibly, there are always better versions of songs eg dylan/hendrix.....but someone had to write it.

[tuttt99]

18 people have no sense of romance

[atreorey]

18 people just don´t take it

[elalley09]

Leonard standing behind Julie Christensen, while they sing together, is so incredibly, beautifully, heart-achingly romantic I could die.

[TheLowey08]

Hmmm, Leonard standing behind me singing is my idea of Heaven

[redondog]

Enhorabuena Leonard, Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Literatura 2011.

Gracias por tu música y tu poesía maestro.

[gerlan1234to]

I've been a fan/follower of Leonard Cohen since 1969 when I was 13. His voice can convey the mystery of relationships, places, feelings and emotions better than anyone. He also improves with age, saw him at the O2 three years ago, he blew us away.

Thanks Leonard.

[Yoga3103]

@gerlan1234to Well I'm a fan since 1994 .. like a wine... getting better with ages...

[IDoNotBlameYou]

I think Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla (here)--and of course Sharon Robinson-- have, in all of Leonard's history, understood his music so innately, and have flown with him in songs like this.

[MsMbc5]

sexy? DEFINITELY! Love to look at him and listen to him...its a package!

[picabuiseeu]

I'm 21 and I think that Leonard Cohen's voice is the sexiest voice I've ever heard...

[MsDelpiero111]

Nagyon jó dal, de szerintem Zorán előadásában még jobb.

[QOH50]

Leonard Cohen, you are my god.

[millie0010011]

Ich weiss gar nicht, wie ich mein Leben bisher ohne die Musik von Leonard Cohen überlebt hab...

It's great - this song touchs my soul !!!

[saeidmomtahan]

His words and his singing touch the soul.

Greetings from Iran

[misicha1]

the most beautiful voice,i love it

[marydwyer14119]

cool

[hanafri8]

Most beautiful voice,from an amazing singer! Why? Oh why is the youth so fleeting? Where will we ever get singers of his format again?

[ervin1524]

I took it.

[esztergomister]

Csodálatos.Megérintette a lelkem. Köszönet.

[petomagdi]

Ez az ember egy csoda. Mi magyarok is ismerjük és szeretjük. Kár, hogy ilyen későn ért ide hozzánk Magyarországra.

[BTLfanIam]

Two gorgeous women, awesome beat poetry, and amazing music all in one. How can you go wrong? How is it I've only known about Leonard for the past 15 years?

[carybhou]

These girls are in transe!

[MenaCosta]

The sexiest man who ever lived!!! :) oh boy! :D

[kittyprydekissme]

Is this the Austin City Limits performance?

[kittyprydekissme]

@kittyprydekissme Sorry. It's obviously not. I should've watched the entire video before asking.

[koreta9]

Je úžasný. To charisma !!!!

[sarinette666]

the first time i heard that song, i dreamt about it for weeks after............amazing song filled with beauty............

[fps44]

CAN YOU LISTEN AND NOT BE TRANSPORTED OUT OF YOUR BODY AND INTO SOME UNEARTHLY, TRANSCENDENTAL PLACE? I KNOW THIS SONG DOES IT FOR ME EVERY TIME I LISTEN. IT IS ALMOST HEAVENLY, BUT THEN I COME BACK TO EARTH AND HAVE TO REPLAY IT. IT HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE FOR YEARS.

[zazzzisme]

@fps44 I feel u... amazing..

[arturmdc]

isto é simplesmente, bonito.

tão só quanto isto ........

[MrPekka123]

its because of this fantastic man and artist that im still alive today. i was so depressed that i wanted to just end it all, this music is the best that ever could happen to me

[ETLfromspace]

could be lou reed s brother

[42tompa]

Gyönyörü, akárcsak Zoráné!

[krausmoscow]

Read the Lorca as you listen to him sing it...the translation is magnificent. He really understands Federico...

[krausmoscow]

Read the Lorca as you listen to him sing it...the translation is magnificent. He really understands Fedrico...

[aclcox]

The set list at the end looks great. Can someone tell me when/where this was broadcast, and whether it is possible to get a copy of the whole set?

On the song, I believe the words are Lorca's. Quite striking that you have the lyrics of one of the greatest ever poets, and it sounds like Leonard's words. I think this emphasises how amazing all his songs are. In a way.

[jlstoon]

I've seen him perform live twice, he is funny, sexy and incredibly charming. I hope I again have the chance to sit spell bound while he performs.

[jlstoon]

Lenard Cohen is Canadian, not American.

[MrP1949]

This is lovely! It is indeed a music that will stay above all the sorrows! And the trio is amazing! Thank you Leonard! Great!

[odalrich]

Julie Cristensen & Leonard Cohen singing together in such a suggestive way really turns me on.

[MrRonnie1954]

sorry . just come back in. bit dunk love love love it from ronnie

again sorry . uk.

[bakseeb]

Who is the beautiful singer? - The female one? AH - There are credits at the end of the Video!

@revbricenichols tx, waz just curious, i know some1 who really adores him & i think i do 2 now;)

[rinanorma]

Beautiful interpretation.

[revbricenichols]

12 people haven't a soul, nor the mental capacity to understand what lies beyond the hit list on 98 point whatever on their radio dial.

[revbricenichols]

My wife and I will dance to this song when we are to old to walk. It's melody will carry our love beyond this world. True beauty, in the every sense of the term. Thank you, Leonard.

[TheWhiteDuke1]

This dude is really great, American is he ??

I like their versions best.

[1nker1]

Leonard's voice is so sexy that it is no wonder if Julie's appearance is full of lust. Great performance from them both.

[freakyfrankie666]

@1nker1 i'm glad somebody else voiced their opinion that Leonard's voice is sexy :D as a 34 year old woman i was starting to feel slightly weird because i find a pensioners voice incredibly sexy! sometimes when he hits particularly low notes i all but fall off my chair :P

[David95928]

@freakyfrankie666

He was hardly a pensioner in the mid eighties. But, I suppose, he is now still touring at age 76. Amazing!

[bingalong]

@freakyfrankie666 Cohen Schmohen, what about Julie Christensen, now there's a sexy voice... let it be said that I'm male though.. ;)

[Zootallors]

@bingalong Her singing is sexy for women, as well. (Sexiness is alluring--regardless of gender.)

[Zootallors]

@bingalong Her singing is sexy for women, as well. (Sexiness is alluring--regardless of gender.)

[lauralfarogarcia]

@freakyfrankie666 Why are you scared? I'm 23 and I also find that voice sexier than people in my age!

I love his music, thanks for the video

[bannorka]

@freakyfrankie666 I don't think ist question of age..

[joannaorlean]

@freakyfrankie666 call him what you like but LC is no pensioner you probably wouldn't be able to keep up with him on his whirlwind world tours and 4 hour stage performances. What's age got to do with it anyway? I guess you have to gain another half a decade to appreciate that. Just a blink!

[seerocco]

@joannaorlean FRANYFRANKIE666.leete la biografia est'a arruinado.

[sukideni]

@freakyfrankie666

He is timeless, he is more sexually attractive than any one I have ever known.

His voice, the way he sings, the words he so carefully assembles- all of THE MAN... akin to a flame and I am a moth.I want to come in from the cold Leonard. Let me come in from the cold!

Leonard Cohen, has always had this charm, the sexual pull, even when he sings (what i call the rebel songs) he has so much talent.So much charisma, it is natural for him. I wish Leonard was my Man xxx
