Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah



Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well 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 her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
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

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd OUT DREW YA
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah <<(held for a long time)
Hallelujah

Escuché que había un secreto acorde
Que David interpretaba para agradar a Dios
Pero a ti no te interesa la música ¿o quizás sí?
La cosa va de esta manera,
la cuarta, la quinta, la menor baja y la mayor sube
El rey perplejo compone aleluya

Tu fe era fuerte pero necesitaste probarla
Viste a ella bañarse en el cielo,
Su belleza y la luz de la luna te derrocaron
te ató
a una silla de cocina
Rompió tu trono y cortó tu pelo
Y de tus labios dibujó el aleluya

Sabes que tomé el nombre en vano
Y que incluso no conozco el nombre
Pero si lo supiera, ¿qué eso para ti?
Hay un resplandor
En cada palabra
No importa que hayas oído
Sagrada o derrotada aleluya

Lo hice lo mejor que pude, que no fue demasiado
No pude sentir así que intenté tocar
Dije la verdad, no vine para engañarte
E incluso pensando
Que todo fue un error
Estaré tras el Señor de esa Canción
Y de mis labios sólo saldrá un Aleluya
