  • come è bella... torno giovane.

    Ciao Leo.

  • I'd always wondered if I'd ever meet a Suzanne so I could show her this song.. I now know a Susane! :D.

  • once upon a time we lived a life and i was fortunate to know and suffer to live this life and if they ask me would you play this game again i would have to put another quarter into the slot and came back to find you again.
  • I feel I'm Suzanne atm arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

  • cool!

  • Try to close your eyes.

    I think i'm going to cry.

  • @Heikki1423 I don't need closing eyes to cry...

  • this is pure poetry.. Too bad his gig are so expensive, I'd love to hear this live!

  • What a stunning video...

  • This is a haunting song that has such depth that it keeps me thinking long after it has ended.

  • Is it just me or do Leonard Cohen and Dustin Hoffman look very much alike?

  • I see it, and a little of Pacino

  • Thats funny because I didn't really think of Pacino at all but I've just asked my mum and she said Pacino straight away. :)

  • @YouFrickinStar My mum said Leonard Cohen...

  • @YouFrickinStar conspirrrrrraaccccyyyy

  • @YouFrickinStar And Al PAcino too =D

  • Ce chanteur a une voix envoutante

  • Strange, but the man who made the song was blind;

    Yet, now I have considered it, I find

    That nothing strange; the tragedy began

    With Homer that was a blind man,

    And Helen has all living hearts betrayed.

    O may the moon and sunlight seem

    One inextricable beam,

    For if I triumph I must make men mad

  • Expression is universal and subjective, asshole

  • no hacias daño

    estaba,,,tranquila

    segura,,,me dabas la mano....y

    me llevabas,,,y yo,,iba...

  • loquilla que vas a hacer,,,el finde? no me llames,,loquilla,,,ya me he enfadado bueno,,,voy,,a l playa con las amigas.. yo,,estoy,,fatal,,esta casa es horrible muy,,fea,,,,y,,,sin luz,,no veo,,nada... estoy triste,,sin ti,,,cariño,,echaras de menos tu casa,,,a tu mama,,,,venga,,,,anímate... porfa,,,me quieres?,,,,claro,,,,yo,,mucho yo,,más,,no yo,,,noooo,,,bueno,,q ya empezamos a discutir,,,,un beso,,mi amor te hecho tanto de menos.
  • A beautiful song.

  • tis weird without the internet, would never have seen this, but have loved this song for................thanks

  • That is interesting isn't it... all these obscure but amazing performances, which came and went years or decades ago, and sometimes were recorded only by one or two people, but have ended up on the internet. Suzanne's a deep and powerful song. It's nice to see the different, powerful versions on Youtube.

  • and there looking for their minsters

  • edins bowers...french

  • and there was sailors who begged thee deseed from thine will...

  • This is just great!

  • My favourite of him! Perfect!

  • easily the best song that cohen has. So pure and poetic. This song has imagery that no other can recreate. Try "famous blue raincoat" or an earlier track "iodine". Cohen.... amazing.

  • that is alberta watson right there, Madeleine from nikita.

  • and christ had the bloody afront to pose as a dying man...

  • clad white virgin appostle red robes

  • fantastico

  • sing like a Fabrizio De Andrè song...isn't true?

  • de andre's song is a "cover" of this song.

  • to labellacalitea

    Fabrizio DeAndrè sang this song translated in italian ;)

  • Perfect song

  • I love his voice...amazing

  • Nonsensical comment brigade?

  • Leonard m'emmène

    depuis tant d'années

    Il m'emmène

    Je ne sais où

    Ce que je sais

    c'est que je ne veux pas que cela s'arrête

  • elle leur doit de leur dire la verite. il devient fou.

  • if you tell the children that makes you a snake.

  • fortuneatly or unfortunatly christ was a better lover than you. and she shot him

  • and all men will be thearters wanting to be wanted if the whole is the truth what are the parts that make up the whole but a lie misconception

  • Lenny you are the tops!

  • she looks like tony montanas sister in scarface

  • he really looks like al pacino

  • yep, al pacino when he's younge, dustin hoffmann when hes older...weird.

  • i would like to say my world was sparcly littered by ltieral masterpiecess so i confided in myself.

  • a haunting song never to be forgotton.A legend Forever Leonard.

  • plan b made this song evil :L

  • it 's simply wonderful

  • fa sognare

  • One of the greatest songs there is out there: simple, yet deep. Beautiful tune. Beautiful lyrics. Beautifully presented.

    I want to travel with you, Lenny.

    And thanks for posting this, yangcy :-)

  • touched your perfect body with his mind ,,,, perfect

  • Thank you Leonard for this song I love it so much... and of course my wife name are........... Suzanne

  • Tom Norhtcott's version is outstanding. ( A Canadian.) I can't find it on You Tube. Anybody?

  • meravigliosa!

  • This may be my all time favorite song ever. It is so haunting, the melody, the words, it's religious like even without the verse about Jesus, but especially with it. I get mesmerized beyond.

  • ... A masterpiece! And the lyrics are simply amazing! They are open to so many interpretations.. just wonderful!

    I love this man!

  • makes you think of what might have been had u turn around instead of walking forward

  • tu crees,,,que,,,,somos,,para estar..juntos...

    sinceramente,,,no ,si nos queremos,,,

    si,,por como somos,,,podemos estar,,,juntos..

    igual...tambien te vuelvo..loco....como a él...

    y como ya estas,,un poco,,,

    no soy facil....y tú,,,,,,tampoco,

  • Muy superior diría yo

  • Una inspiración superior

  • this is the music i remember

  • the first song i heard by him 20 yrs ago. Been a big fan since. Saw him live at the Savoy in Glace Bay Cape Breton may 17 2008...incredible!!!

  • Hey! Suzanne in the clip is Tony's sister in scarface!

    By the way. The dutch subtitle is not totaly right.

    When he says: Jesus was a sailor, there stands "visser" but a sailor is a "zeil man".

  • Quelle belle chanson,

  • Ricordo che TUTTE le VOLTE che ascoltavo questo BRANO, tanti anni fa, mi chiuedevo in me stesso in religioso raccoglimento. Per me era un momento di preghiera in musica.

  • Mein erstes Live-Concert - oh my good - wunderbar!

  • skvělé

  • a great song my son in named after him.

    From the netherlands

  • it haunts me .its a legend. enough said its a beautifull song .oh suzanne!!!.

  • I was named after this song, my dad's a huge Cohen fan and now i love him too! Saw him last year in Dublin, best concert i've ever been to!

  • Well who he syaing he is a good singer? He is a poet. Bob Dylan is exactly the same...sometimes it's not about the voice it's about the lyric...not a song writer a poet!!!

  • Okay, maybe I was having a bad day or something when I wrote my other post. Im not usually that harsh. While I still dont believe that he is a good singer, I can appreciate his talent as a song writer. I hope I didnt offend anyone with my earlier post.

  • Please, anybody, what is the point of this song that has lingered in the deepest recesses of my mind for over 40 years?

  • The point is the elusive ethereal woman imagery

  • rvcrvc2,

    If that song has lingered for over 40 years, I think it's made its point. Enjoy the mystery. :)

    fergusof

  • you are not old enough to appreciate.....it will come with age and experience..........no offence taken

  • Such as?

  • ignorant people like you always find there way to say shit eh. I guess we must all deal with people like you every day.

  • This is the only song on my workout mix tape.

  • Happy in this moment to hear such beauty.

  • this so full of love and it touch me very much.

  • Je me souviens de l'annee 1970 avec Suzanne, je suis maintenant et pour toujours dans l'ile de Wight...

  • Isle of Wight 'Pop festival' 1970

    cool flower people not only in Woodstock

  • para anberful

  • Cohen was the great inspiration to all of use who struggles with composing, - and - of course - his profound lyrics

  • estas aqui

    dentro,,y yo,,unos niños,,,,,tumbados , en la arena,,,y yo escribí,,,no se donde vamos,,,muy lejos,,,no puedo pararle,,,,,no soy capaz d decir

    no,,,,es fuego,,,,fuego,,,no puedo pararle..

    no controlo nada,,,,por la noche te deseaba

    era una niña,,,,,no sabia,,,,ni lo k me pasaba.....

    fuego,,,,,,,,,,,es mi fuego,,,lo k te quedó,,y es tu fuego lo k me resucitó,,,,no lo apagues

  • Suzanne habe ich um 1978 herum das erste Mal gehört, kenne jedes Wort heute noch auswendig. Die Gefühle, die es auslöst sind immer noch dieselben! Ein unvergeßliches Erlebnis, dieses Lied in Wiesen (Aug. 09) live zu hören!!!!!

  • SOOOO ein suuuper song!!!!

    love him!!!!

  • so... so wonderful

  • Now Suzanne takes your hand

    And she leads you to the river

    She is wearing rags and feathers

    From Salvation Army counters

    And the sun pours down like honey

    On our lady of the harbour

    And she shows you where to look

    Among the garbage and the flowers
