Promotional video clip for tribute LP "Poets In New York" (1986).
The Leonard Cohen Files says: "The video was filmed in Spain, in the city of Granada, famous for the Alhambra Castle. Leonard Cohen is shown in the house of Federico Garcia Lorca. 6 min, color."
Note: This is 1986 version of the song, produced for the Spanish tribute album "Poets In New York". Later, Cohen released the same track on his 1988 album I'm Your Man, adding Raffi Hakopian's violin and Jennifer Warnes' vocals in overlayers. So won't be alarmed if you don't hear Warnes' duetting on some verses and no violin at all.
According to some source, this wasn't real video clip, but promotional clip which originally was the part of TV programme accompanying "Poets in New York" LP. Strangely enough, there's another version at YouTube, recorded from TV Espana, two minutes longer, re-edited and re-cut - some extra shots show Cohen playing the piano, walking through Garcia Lorca's house museum etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV97_RUbuso My version is 4 minutes, while The Leonard Cohen Files says it should be six minutes. Nevertheless, my version is obviously also complete clip, and I took it from the DVD which was shown on Leonard Cohen Event organised by The LC Files, so...

As I watch this, there is an advertisement on the top-right corner regarding leonard cohen himself. This is probably the only time of where the adverts complements the video material.

This was my introduction to LC. I was driving through a country road, deep in Wisconsin, and this thing came on NPR. I pulled the car over next to a field full of dry, withered who knows what, and listened hunched over the wheel.
Fucking genius.

Majd Bécsben táncolok veled, az lesz a jó,
szép maskara lesz rajtam,
álarcom nagy folyó,
parton jácintot ringató,
lábad közt felejtem ajkam,
és lelkem fénykép-albumokban s liliomokban.
Lépteid sötét hullámaival,
mind hegedű és kripta, szerelmem, ó szerelmem,
elhal e sok szalagu dal.
