Paroles / Lyrics :

“Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Oh dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, oh dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand, touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love”

For me such a beautiful and sad song in the same time and this version especially goes to that, in my eyes, bitterness. Love it so much. Thank you. R. I. P. Leonard Cohen.

Lovely voice but for me the tempo is too slow and not in the Cohen style which is more upbeat. The reverse angle shot from the locked-off camera in the background was a bad idea as it shows the back of the singer when her face is the main attraction and it leads to a jump cut with the singer and the pianist swapping sides in the frame which jars visually. It would’ve been better to position that camera frontally to give a profile shot of the pianist and keyboard.
