Hallelujah — текст песни (John Cale)

Words & music by leonard cohen



Ive heard there was a secret chord

That david played and it pleased the lord

But you dont 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



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, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah



Hallelujah



Baby Ive been here before, I know this room

Ive walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

Ive seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah



Hallelujah



There was a time you let me know

Whats really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah



Hallelujah



Maybe theres a God above, all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you

And its not a cry you can hear at night

Its not somebody whos seen the light

Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah



Hallelujah

Hallelujah
