Cohen, Leonard - Steer Your Way Lyrics
Steer your way past the ruins of the Altar and the Mall
Steer your way through the fables of Creation and The Fall
Steer your way past the Palaces that rise above the rot
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your heart past the Truth that you believed in yesterday
Such as Fundamental Goodness and the Wisdom of the Way
Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women whom you bought
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you
That's smashed the Cosmic Model, that blinded every view
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not
Year by year, month by month, day by day
They whisper still, the injured stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa, which you probably forgot
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask
To the one who was never, never equal to the task
Who knows he's been convicted, who knows he will be shot
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
They whisper still, the injured stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa, which you gradually forgot
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought

That violin!
I gave my estranged mom this cd i waited at the store the day it came out and to this day she never ever listened to it. I was trying to speak to her through his songs and his voice.. it was lost on her and I must say it's her loss.. there was so many things I wanted her to know about me.. r,i,p
c'est magnifique "
Matthew Ryan did a wonderful version of this song in tribute to Leonard https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=LAwFKvB-eEw
Beter large house
Very strong poetry
I did it mae culpa
One of his best....
a pity he died.
Paying my respects, from Nigeria.
Here's a mea culpa: I was today years old when I discovered the BEHEMOTH of lyrical purity and composition that was Mr. Cohen.
Almost 34 years went by and I had no idea what I was missing on!
This kind of mastery of language and songwriting I had only seen (heard?) in Joaquín Sabina and Serge Gainsbourg.
Could anyone suggest some other artist of this kind
PLEASE?!
So good, so good
the patron saint of joyful sadness and death
There are no bad Leonard Cohen songs.
Intriguing
Unfathomably true, oh God help!
Beatiful just beatiful
words that make you think, music that makes you mellow - a talent for all seasons , an artist for all time.
Thot by thot...
Beautiful

I never heard this number before. A great song.
An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort. Something he read. He said Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin never died. They simply became music.
I thought I'd subscribe.. but what's the point?
My heart! I don't pas the tuins this year, my fam. of my mom. The Palas are hotel to day. But I go to my father's contry in okt. you know that place. Yer by yer. I steer my heart by the true.

So the true will chome from the land of plenty one day. Month by month. I'll never forget Mea Culpa. I'll try to make thing cheep before I dia and come home to yoy. Thaugt by thaugt.

For I am the Way, the Truth and the Life
There is nothing like Cohen's music. World music, its all in there.
Jag bara tycker om Honom; Hans röst och Hans stil.
Först av allt hörde jag "Hallelujah" och den väckte hos mig stort längtan efter Gud.
Tråkigt att Han är inte på Jorden men Hans röst är med oss.
Hoppas att Han har bara.
Comfort for those about to embrace the final journey
Steer your way through the ruins
Of the altar and the mall
Steer your way through the fables
Of creation and the fall
Steer your way past the palaces
That rise above the rot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your heart past the truth
You believed in yesterday
Such as fundamental goodness
And the wisdom of the way
Steer your heart, precious heart
Past the women whom you bought
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your path through the pain
That is far more real than you
That smashed the cosmic model
That blinded every view
And please don’t make me go there
Tho’ there be a god or not
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
They whisper still, the ancient stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa which you’ve probably forgot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your way, o my heart
Tho’ I have no right to ask
To the one who was never
Never equal to the task
Who knows he’s been convicted
Who knows he will be shot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
They whisper still, the ancient stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And say the Mea Culpa which you gradually forgot
Year by year
Month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
Completely adicted to this music...Year by year month by month day by day...
Sírok sírok sírok.
This might seem far fetched but I find the same mystery that I cannot fully understand nor answer in Cohen's music that I do in someone like Bach. It's the cosmic model I guess ... the cosmic architecture that both in some ways had.
I listen to this and I think what is the point in listening to any other recording artist!
Matanowi się podoba bardzo a mi średnio ale bardzo cenię Cohena !
Öldüğünün haberi, hava daha aymadan, elimden kayan kara kuru bir tost... benim ölümümden sonra en huzurlu ölüm
"though there be a god or not" I dont know how to interpret that line in the context of this song. I think it tells us to not take the biblical quotes and references literally that they are oly a way to get his view/feelings across but I am not too sure. Can somebody help me with this?
con tu poesia y tu musica es mas facil vivir.descansa en paz maestro.
con esta pieza llegas a lo mas alto posible
Leonard is a great singer sings and talks his music
Leonard hits it out of the ball park again. I find dead boyfriends so much more reliable than live ones.
Please talk about the video, or about Cohen. Nobody cares that hundreds of you learned about this thru the Asassin’s Creed. That makes it about you. Make it about Leonard, please.
You are not forced to read other's comments. Ironically, the comment you did is all about you
Kocham piosenki cena 😃Gosia W
I need twenty more songs like this one. Until that day, I will listen to this on repeat. So beautiful.
I wanna woman who love this album.
RIP big Leonard ....
Cohen's best ever:
3. The Traitor
2. Waiting for the Miracle
1. Steer Your Way
And they _do_ make a sequence.
this album is underrated AF!!!! deserves way more views
Leonard has helped me get through the darkness I have locked myself in for the past two years...I am free now and can highly recommend him for therapy...once the music and the lyrics kick in you soon get over yourself and come out strong !
thanks iam new but will try his music out
love u Mr Cohen
I will be listening to him until my dying day, and thereafter I hope I will be listening to him eternally 😘
Beautiful, reminds me of Closing Time
Amazing song to cap years of beautiful songs and touching lyrics.... we miss you LC!
RIP Leonard! Thanks for years of genius lyrics, beautiful music and haunting voice. I was so fortunate to be able to attend 4 of your concerts in NYC. Music will never be the same.
It couldn't be more spectacular.
Why do Leonard Cohen's songs always sound as though they are directed specifically to us personally? Year by year, month by month, day by day ............... thought by thought
Every time I listen to this album, and I listen to it often, I cry. Knowing that those songs are His last. And hoping that my souls will meat his - somewhere, sometime
Great song full of wisdom from a man who is exiting this world, but somehow, unexplainably on his own terms....
Steer your way past the ruins of the altar and the mall
Steer your way through fable of creation and the fall
Steer your way past the palaces that rise above the rot
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
Steer your heart past the truth that you believed in yesterday
Such as fundamental goodness and the wisdom of the way
Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women whom you bought
Year by year, month by month, day by day
Thought by thought
Steer you way through the pain that is far more real than you
That smashed the cosmic model, that blinded every view
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not
Year by year, month by month, day by day

Year by year, month by month, day by day

Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask

Year by year, month by month, day by day

Year by year, month by month, day by day

TRADUCTION STEER YOUR WAY - LÉONARD COHEN
Passe devant les ruines de l'église et du centre commercial
Navigue à travers l'histoire de la création et de la chute
Chemine le long des palais qui s'élèvent au-dessus de la pourriture
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Conduis ton cœur au-delà de ces vérités en lesquelles hier tu croyais
Telles que la bonté fondamentale, la sagesse de l'expérience
Conduis ton cœur, ton précieux cœur devant ces femmes que tu achetais
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Conduis ton cœur au-delà de la souffrance, bien plus réelle que toi
Cette souffrance qui a détruit le modèle cosmique, aveuglé tous les points de vue
Je t'en prie, ne m'oblige pas à aller là-bas, qu'il y ait un dieu ou pas
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Elles murmurent encore, ces pierres meurtries
Elles pleurent toujours, ces montagnes arrondies
Alors que lui est mort pour rendre les hommes pieux
Laisse-nous mourir pour que les choses soient dérisoires
Et ce mea culpa que tu as sans doute oublié
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Chemine, oh mon cœur, même si je n'ai aucun droit de demander
À celui qui n'a jamais été à la hauteur de la tâche
Qui sait qu'il a été condamné, qui sait qu'il sera fusillé
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Elles murmurent encore, ces pierres meurtries
Elles pleurent toujours, ces montagnes arrondies
Alors que lui est mort pour rendre les hommes pieux
Laisse-nous mourir pour que les choses soient dérisoires
Et ce mea culpa que tu as sans doute oublié
Année après année, mois après mois, jour après jour
Pensée après pensée
Perfect. Absolute masterpiece.
leonard cohen is the david of our time. the key to so many souls, the speaker of our truths, our psalms.
I hope he accepted christ in the end
Genius!!!
See how Belgrade artists paid their homage to Leonard Cohen https://zabaviste.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/beogradski-umetnici-koenu-u-cast/
Lucky him. He got to die right as it all went to shit.
Mister Leonard Cohen .... you give me stand when I go falling ... thanks L.C. RiP
Does anybody know the voice of the woman? It kind of sounds like Lana Del Rey.
This might have became my favorite Cohen song.
q alma tan brillante, tan creativa y sensacional. respeto infinito
voce.musica.parole. the best
melodia jest melodią
Einmalig.
simply wonderful
Beautiful
все, я влюблена в него! почему я раньше никогда о нем не слышала? он гениален! зато теперь я его никогда не забуду! вечная ему память!
cosa mi sono persa....tutti questi anni senza la sua musica ,la sua voce...
Touching!All truth in one song!Concratz !!!

Leonard will be "discovered" like a lost Rembrandt found in an attic by some young web surfer and soon be the next 'new' thing rerecorded for eternity.
I loved his voice..
glad i get to have his words and widsom
Expect 2 degrees above baseline in 2018.
Fcud ? what does it mean.
That is amusing I must admit.
sans paroles...aurevoir mr.Cohen
Didn't get the acknowledgment it should but damn, yet another masterpiece !

Why did the Donald cross the road?
He thought he was a chicken.
Следуй своему пути, о мое сердце,
Хотя у меня не было права спрашивать
Того, кто никогда, никогда не был равнозначен задаче
Кто знал, что осужден, кто знает, что будет застрелен
Год за годом, месяц за месяцем, день за днем,
Мысль за мыслью...
Поврежденные камни по-прежнему перешептываются
Отупевшие горы рыдают
В то время как он умер, чтобы сделать людей праведными,
Пусть мы умрем, чтобы снизить цену на вещи
И скажи, что виноват, о чем ты постепенно забыл
Год за годом, месяц за месяцем, день за днем,
Мысль за мыслью...
