Mistä kertoo se Leonard Cohenin Hallelujah

"Hallelujah"



Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The battle king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

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, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah



Baby I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

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

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Maybe there’s a God above

But all I’ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

It’s not a cry you can hear at night

It’s not somebody who has seen the light

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though

It all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

että rakkaudesta naiseen ja musiikkiin.

mielestäni biisi kertoo eräästä päättymässä olevasta suhteesta. Laulaja kertoo entiselle rakastetulleen miten huomaa "merkit" ettei enää ole rakkautta ilmassa...että ovat erkaantuneet toisistaan...



Ennen he onnistuivat saavuttamaan taivaallisen olotilan yhdessä. Nyt muistelee noita hekuman hetkiä.

mutta se on ehkä maailman kaunein kappale.
