Leonard Cohen - Thanks For The Dance Lyrics






Thanks for the dance
I'm sorry you're tired
The evening has hardly begun
Thanks for the dance
Try to look inspired
One two three, one two three one

There's a rose in your hair
Your shoulders are bare
You've been wearing this costume forever

So turn up the music
Pour out the wine
Stop at the surface
The surface is fine
We don't need to go any deeper
Thanks for the dance
I hear that we're married
One two three, one two three one
Thanks for the dance
And the baby you carried
It was almost a daughter or a son

And there's nothing to do
But to wonder if you
Are as hopeless as me
And as decent

We're joined in the spirit
Joined at the hip
Joined in the panic
Wondering if
We've come to some sort
Of agreement

It was fine it was fast
We were first we were last
In line at the Temple of Pleasure
But the green was so green
And the blue was so blue
I was so I
And you were so you
The crisis was light
As a feather

Thanks for the dance
It was hell, it was swell
It was fun
Thanks for all the dances
One two three, one two three one

    thanks for dance one two three one two three one.....I'm speechless and am in tears

  4. a.... m....

    Merci pour la Dance

    a.... m....

    Merci pour la danse
    Merci pour la danse
    Désolé que tu sois fatiguée
    Cette soirée a à peine commencé
    Merci pour la danse
    Essaie de prendre un air inspiré
    Une deux trois, une deux trois, un

    Il y a une rose dans tes cheveux
    Tes épaules sont dénudées
    Tu portes ce costume depuis toujours

    Alors mets la musique plus fort
    Verse le vin
    Arrête à la surface
    La surface c'est assez
    On ne doit pas aller plus loin
    Merci pour la danse
    On me dit qu'on est mariés
    Une deux trois, une deux trois, un
    Merci pour la danse
    Et le bébé que t'as porté
    Ce fut prèsqu'une fille ou un fils

    Et il n'y a rien d'autre à faire
    Qu'à se demander si tu
    Est aussi désespérée que moi
    Et aussi décente

    Nous sommes unis dans l'âme
    Comme les doigts de la main
    Unis dans la panique
    A se demander si
    Nous aurions abouti à une sorte
    D'agrément

    ça allait bien, ça allait vite
    Nous étions les premiers, les derniers
    De la file au Temple du Plaisir
    Mais le vert était si vert
    Et le bleu était si bleu
    J'étais si moi
    Et tu étais si toi
    La crise était légère
    Comme l'air

    Merci pour la danse
    C'était l'enfer, c'était le pied
    C'était drôle
    Merci pour toutes les danses
    Une deux trois, une deux trois, un

    Cette chanson terminait un montage vidéo qu'on a fait en hommage à notre maman, lors de ses funérailles, le 30 novembre 2019. Ma mère adorait Cohen et cette chanson, pratiquement sortie au même moment, semblait avoir été écrite pour elle. Un merci infini, Monsieur Cohen, pour la musique inoubliable que vous avez mis dans nos vies.

  6. C.... O....

    He's back, and I am reborn.

  8. D.... B....

    Thanks for the music you left for us , it keeps your memory alive .

  9. D.... ....

    Leonard picks up your heart's strings and makes you cry, softly. In his poetry, even the final desperate farewell to the life may be as gentle as stopping a dance. Thanks for the dance. Thank you, Leonard.

    HalleluYAH. Lamentations 5:15/16  The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 
    The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! 
    Offenbarung 22:21 Die Gnade unsers Ewig-Vater Jesu Christi Friedefürst sei mit euch allen! Amen.

  19. K.... T....

    Warum ist er nicht mit dem Nobelpreis geehrt worden ?

    K.... T....

    Wissen wir nicht, er hätte es aber mehr verdient als manch andere. Ein sehr intelligenter und sympathischer Mann war er.

  20. N.... S....

    A soothing voice singing us love directly from heaven! Lifting the weight of our shoulders, lowering our heartbeats... The power of Leonard’s voice! Our national treasure! 🕊

    HalleluYAH. JeremiYAH 3:14  Turn, O backsliding children, saith יְהֹוָה; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:... IsaiYAH 65:9  And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.... Psalm 102:18  This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise יְהֹוָה. Matthew 3:9  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Micah 4:7  And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and יְהֹוָה shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
    Offenbarung 22:21 Die Gnade unsers Ewig-Vater Jesu Christi Friedefürst sei mit euch allen! Amen. PS: JeremiYAH 31:3  יְהֹוָה hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.... "EVERLASTING"
