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 want to 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
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
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, our lady of the harbor
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
They will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
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
A legend. A teacher. A healer. A genius. A poet. A man. A masterpiece.
For me, if a song can be perfect, this is it.
I was in California almost 60 years ago when first heard this. I was in a night club, asked the singer who wrote the song, she replied lenorad Cohen, it was sort of an epiphany. When I returned to Brooklyn NY I bought an LP with the song and some others of Leonard's, added to my collection of folk music. Many years later, my wife asked me if knew who wrote the song Suzanne. When I replied Leonard Cohen she was taken a back. How did you know that. We have a recording of the song in our collection. She said Cohen is appearing at Madison Square Garden, would you like to go. I said yes, and, even though we short on money, we bought the tickets. The Garden was nearly sold out, which surprised my wife. It was a great evening. When we got home we played the record. Then I played some of Cohen other songs. It was a wonderful evening. I am great fan of Cohen, besides Suzanne another of my favorites is Hallelujah. My ITunes library has multiple renditions of both. Even found a renditions of Hallelujah in Yiddish.and Russian among others. Hallelujah is one of the most popular songs in the world. Cohen was among the most prolific composers.
Fantastic
What a wonderful story and memory 👍
We boomers remember Mr. Cohen's magic and grace...that never faltered. 💝
Love this so much , rest in peace , Leonard , you will never be forgotten ❤️🙏❤️
I honestly believe that Leonard Cohen is as close as mankind has ever got to personifying divinity. This song is the ultimate work of genius.
And so many of his songs evoke various Divine motifs - Halleluyah, Who by Fire (a musical version of the Unanate Tokef High Holiday prayer), The Guests (life in G-ds world). He is an equal, or at least close, to King David and his psalms. At least a more approachable version, today.
No-one like him. A unique being.
Totally agree it is divine 🎉
Agreed. He was one of the greatest human beings ever lived. There will never be another one like him. May he Rest in Power.
There are really some more.
Only a few others, bro. This
biographical song is genius.
The great singer L. cohen .RIP..⚘️
Maybe the greatest love song of all time.
MY greatest singer, voice and song for ever! 🎶😘❤️
Maybe this is not a love song... but who knows?

It's more a song about frienship! Leonard had for a Suzanne, very original, a little Bohemian life, hippy, he admired a lot, and wrote this marvellous hommage for her!
Lucky lady! 🎶🇨🇵🗼
Bee gees
Suzan was a prostetute ..:))))
I was blessed to hear him live. It was August 2. 2013, when he held his last performance in Croatia. An unforgettable concert was in Pula, in the old Roman Amphitheater. I still keep the ticket as a relic.
''Dear friends, I don't know when we will see each other again. That's why we'll do our best tonight'' - those are the words with which Leonard Cohen opened the concert.
Danke Leonard Cohen! Danke für die wunderbaren Lieder, danke für all die Autogramme, die ich bekommen habe! Ich werde sie immer in Ehren halten und mich lebenslang an den einzigartigen Liedern erfreuen! Ich ziehe den Hut! R.I.P. 🕊️🕊️🕊️ Klaus, Graz/Austria
every song became better how older he became. I hope, if the time comes to me, he will lead a chorus of angels to welcome my soul
"I hope, if the time comes to me, he will lead a chorus of angels to welcome my soul" that would be enough to get me to start believing in the all mighty. Lovely thought you wrote there.
Amen to that
Amen!
Wow, I'm speechless.. Thanks guy!
I first heard this over a crystal radio and a mono earpiece which was tech in those days. I spent weeks trying to find it in the record stores and then it suddenly arrived everywhere. But I will never forget that first time I heard it, and now I am 72, it still affects me the same way.
Well then, we are the two who heard this song on a crystal radio Sir
🌹
For me, it was a little transistor radio I kept in a box to improve the bass.
I'm 57 now, but I was 13 then.
He aged like fine wine ,, as u do kind Sir
@@magnificentfailure2390 same with me 57 ,,luv LC
Leonard was a poet👍
That guitar intro which Cohen plays gives the song such a unique feel. For me this version stands on its own. Something about a man singing in his 70s this song that makes it incomparable.
Ashray Kotian I agree. Seeing these live was a highlight of my life.
His voice in this version is sublime. Aged to perfection.
@@1chienandalou I’m jealous...lucky you👍👍👍
I like thisversion most. The intrigue is captivating.
Cohen is GENIUS and was 😢
RIP Leonard Cohen Canada greatest singer songwriter
On September 3 1991 I named my daughter for this song
Thank you
His words are unforgettable. A true genius .... forever
A genius called Leonard Cohen
I had a dream or something between sleep and awake. I thought of this song which I had not heard for years. I knew every single word word. I got up turned on the television and there was Leonard cohen singing. It was an other worldly experience and didn’t leave me for days
Just few notes in the intro are just enough to drive enormous emotion....
I live in Montreal. It's truly surreal to look out my window as this song plays, and see Mount Royal, where this legend currently remains. The greatest memory I'll ever have is climbing that very mountain, stopping at the Kondiaronk Belvedere and behold the giant portrait of Mr. Cohen that stands watching over Crescent St.
I love it listen also to the great song of him too."to the boogie street"👍✨️🧚♀️✨️ another Susanne 😉
I had the chance to listen to Léonard Cohen at his beginnings, in a gymnasium at the University of Montpellier in 1969 or 1970 .... Then I never missed anything of his wonderful work as a songwriter!
I didn't think I'd ever get to see Cohen. Informative years for me with him and Dylan. He was too far away, then a monk and out of sight. And there he was at the Big Chill as the sun went down. Front row. Hallelujah
Hvala za muziku.
I love so much this song from Leonard Kohen whit my name 😍
A journey into the incredibly deep lonely places. Cohen just snatches my spirit along through the mud of my undefined memories. He leaves me homesick for somewhere I don't know.
Suzanne leads us away from the illusion of the material into the illusion of spirit. So we look as crazy to her as she does to us.
Beautifully said 👏❤
Beautifully phrased!
The most beautiful singer songwriter
my dad always sang this song for me as a baby ♥
You have always been her lover.
Love burns you like a fever.
It is an endeavor.
O'Suzane, I love you forever.
I love the Songs of Leonhard Cohen ❤ Wonderful ❤❤
Absolute masterpiece ❤
This song is the epitome of my childhood memories of my father. I grew up listening to leonard cohen. Love you dad xx
His voice only got better with age. Amazing
Amazing but yes it's true, his voice is better with the age. More sensitive. Respects Mr poet, respects Mr Cohen.
Its magnifical the Best song to
Leonard cohen
🙏💥💥💥🙏🙏🌹
Marlboro power
So sensitive, poetic and pure ...
One of the great love songs, ever, although Suzanne Verdal was never his lover in fact,
yet the song has a nostalgic tone of lost love. He must be feeling , at his age when he sang it,
the time lost. Beautiful and unique.
You can see Suzanne perfectly; he invokes her for us.
Happy birthday, Leonard. You are missed!
This makes me sad. It’s a lovely song, gosh.
Don’t know how I missed this song. A lyric masterpiece with such a poignant melody!
Thank you! Leonard Cohen - forever!
Simplemente maravillosa. Madrid 2024 (Majadahonda)
Cohen inolvidable❤❤❤
Una canzone che ti lascia senza fiato, con l'anima ricolma di un sentimento mistico.
"E proprio mentre stai per dirle
che non hai amore da offrirle,
lei ti porta sulla sua lunghezza d'onda
e fa sì che il fiume ti risponda
che da sempre siete amanti."
The voice 😍 It's like listening to a bedtime story ❤
I'm 60 years young today.
First time i heard this song, i was bout 20...🙏❤❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌...
Still every here n now, in my heart always 👌👌👌
Haunting me beautifully for almost 50 years.
I love this song in so many ways ❤️😭
🌹Me too.
Such an honesty in his voice in this performance. Even after all these years this version still sets a standard as the comments say.
I just discovered him a couple of years ago and man after he had passed and He has influenced music all over the styles. He was also a wordsmith. A beautiful man. I heard David Gilmore do a little Leonard jam, and Sid Barret was a big Fan of his too.
I studied English literature and my English professor had us read Canadian poetry and I discovered Suzanne in 1990 at UofT
Professor Gary Leonard?
Patenall
I forget the spelling
Patenal
This man's style of singing is magical
Magical - yet eerie. I love his music. Seems like NO other.
An absolute genius!
Please tell me what is genius about him. I don’t mean to make you upset, I just don’t understand.
I was living in residence at U of Toronto in 1971 and the guy in the room next to me had only one record and he played it relentlessly every night. He played Suzanne and then So long Marianne on and on. If it had been any other singer, I probably would have gone in and smashed his record, but those 2 Cohen songs were so good, I never got tired of listening to them and still enjoy them today, 50 years later.
I kind of wanted that to go on forever
Un magnifique poete de notre temps ! Il reste dans notre âme
I first heard this on late night radio (the original track) in the late 60's early 70's and it blew my young mind. It haunted me with the guitar and the lyrics and it still does. I'm 64 now, and I still turn this up and go away to another time and place when I listen to it.
I can only agree. I love Roberta Flack. I went one minute ito her rendition and I had to jump to the original. With respect. She's flippen great
I loved this guy and his poetry put into song.. In the 1960s.. And now in 2023 I still do..
I saw Suzanne in a poetry book I was reading and as I read I remembered it being a song in the 60’s. I discovered Leonard Cohen that day and it has been a part of me since.
On this version he sounds pretty much like he has always sounded. Great longevity.
Sisters of mercy
Great song. It touches my deepest strings of mind.
This is one of those songs, that comes on the radio..... and you think who the hell is that, its just so captivating
My daughter's middle name is after this song. I grew up with Cohen's music and have loved him since I can remember. Genius doesn't even begin to cover it..
He touches with this song not only my body, but my mind and my heart as well, I heard it the fiesta Time I was 17 and non I ´m 64 still touched by this Mélody
he found you so young...perfect.
J'aime tant cette voix chaude ,j'aime tant ce poète , j'aime tant cette chanson .
Merci pour le partage passeur de poésie .
I remeber the First time ❤️now I'm 75 ❤️ what beautiful time❤️❤️
One of the best concerts recorded ever..thanks for this
Quand j'écoute Léonard Cohen je suis hypnotisé paix à son âme 🇩🇿
❤PAZ Y LIBERTAD PARA TODA LA HUMANIDAD YAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
8-11-2016 gdy dowiedziałem się że Leonard zmarł, napisałem że najbardziej będzie mi brakowało Jego opowieści o Suzannne. Dobrze że tu w każdej chwili nostalgii mogę tego posłuchać. Dziękuję Mistrzu.
🌬🌬🕊Une ballade romantique, transcendante …..au delà des mots l’atmosphère entourant ces paroles , son interprétation est émotionnelle, caressant ….
Encore Bravo pour ce chef d’œuvre 🕊💙🕊
Spread his words near an far folks ,do not let his genius go away when we do
There are HEROS in the seaweed .... my fav line ... This guy was such a great songwriter ...
Es imposible ser tan de verdad como el. La compuso tocado y cantado miles de veces. La siguió cantado con infinita verdad en su voz y en su mirada, Paseaba los dedos por la cuerda como el día en que la compuso. Es arte en verdad.
The best version ever
such depth in the lyric-beautiful
There is a secret that is bitterly fulfilling in seeing an old man sing this
Stupenda 😘 emozionante 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
SUPEEER!!! WONDERFUL MUSIC!!! 👉❤👈🎵🎵. Thank you Leonard!! 👍 Very good!! 🥰🥰🥰
Pure magic!!
Woke up to this the best x
what a incredible voice .. Master Cohen
I can almost feel him whispering this right beside me...
Wonderful Mr.Cohen🌻
I wish I could have been live in London with Leonard, I have always loved this man's music. May we meet in Heaven, Live!
pourquoi n'étai s je pas a londres? je pleure..j'ai dédié cette chanson, il y a un mois, en hommage a ma tres chere tante suzanne, décédée a l'age de 90 ans, il y a juste un mois,,

Un homme que j'ai rarement vu dans ma vie m'a fait découvrir, cette chanson , Leonard Cohen... C était mon parrain... Rares furent nos rencontres ... Riches , elles furent !!! 🙏
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to 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 he gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
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 you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
Unglaublich...unerreicht...vollkommen!💗
He was here for us, the ones who understood poetry ♡
Bellissima canzone senza parole
I was in Montreal last month and I always will remember seeing the Cohen’s face since Mont Royal. I really was happy, mainly because I was with the love of my live.
Merci Leonard !!! Tu as participé à mon amour de la musique ! 🙏
Léonard Cohen é uma das estrelas sóis do nosso universo.
Yes :)
Listening to Leonard Cohen I have the strange and comfortable feeling of watching a beautiful movie and at the same time listening to the sweetest of songs. With permission from Nick, "From Her to the Eternity", Leonard...
Suzanne takes me down..
PAIX ET LIBERTÉ POUR L UNIVERS ENTIER!!!!!!!!!
