LEONARD COHEN LYRICS
Escucha "Hallelujah"
"Hallelujah"
("Various Positions" Version)

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

LEONARD COHEN LYRICS

"First We Take Manhattan"

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Suzanne Lyrics
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,
You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her,
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you wanna be there,
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China,
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,
Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer,
That you've always been her lover.

[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
And you know that she will trust you,
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water,
And He spent a long time watching from His lonely wooden tower,
And when He knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
He said "all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them,"
But He Himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

[Chorus]
And you want to travel with him,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

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,
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever,
While Suzanne holds the mirror.

[Chorus]
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
And you know that you can trust her,
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

Leonard Norman Cohen ,Montreal, Quebec, Canadá; 21 de septiembre de 1934 – Los Ángeles, California, Estados Unidos; 7 de noviembre de 20162 ) fue un poeta, novelista y cantautor canadiense. Como músico desarrolló una carrera con una continua exploración de temas como la religión, la política, el aislamiento, las relaciones personales y la sexualidad,

Temas

Leonard Cohen en 2008.
Conocido especialmente por su faceta de cantautor, sus letras son muy emotivas y líricamente complejas; sus tres ejes temáticos predominantes, el amor, la religión y las relaciones de pareja, deben más a los juegos de palabras y metáforas poéticas de la literatura culta que a las convenciones de la música folk. Cohen canta con una voz muy peculiarmente grave, ha influido en muchos otros cantautores y sus canciones han sido interpretadas por muchos otros artistas. A causa del pesimismo que irradian sus letras, la prensa lo ha considerado "el depresivo no químico más poderoso del mundo".

Los temas recurrentes en la obra de Cohen son el amor y el sexo, la religión, la depresión psicológica, la bohemia, la angustia urbana, la propia biografía personal y la música en sí misma; aunque también ha abordado otros asuntos políticos, lo ha hecho a veces de modo ambiguo.

El amor y el sexo son temas habituales en la música popular; la experiencia de Cohen como novelista y poeta le dota de una sensibilidad especial para tratarlos. Suzanne, probablemente la primera canción de Cohen que atrajo la atención de públicos amplios, mezcla cierto tipo de amor con la meditación religiosa, mezcla que igualmente se produce en Joan of Arc.

Famous Blue Raincoat ofrece el punto de vista de un hombre cuyo matrimonio se ha roto debido a la infidelidad de su esposa con un amigo de él. La canción está escrita en forma de carta a ese amigo, al que escribe: “Supongo que te echo de menos, supongo que te perdono. Debes saber que tu enemigo está dormido y que su mujer es libre” (“I guess that I miss you/ I guess I forgive you... Know your enemy is sleeping/ And his woman is free”), mientras que en Everybody Knows toca varios temas entre ellos retoma su sentido espiritual y trata posiblemente en una estrofa de la cruda realidad del sida aunque no directamente. En Sisters of Mercy evoca el amor auténtico (agape más que eros) que encuentra en una habitación de hotel con dos mujeres de Edmonton y Chelsea Hotel #2 describe su aventura con Janis Joplin de un modo bastante poco sentimental.
