Hallelujah

El Sábado leia en el periodico Público una noticia relacionada a este tema de Leonard Cohen, hablando de que la grandísima versión de Jeff Buckley y la que Alexandra Burke (participante en Factor X ingles) eligió para la gala final de dicho programa, pudiendo llegar a ser nº1 en las listas británicas de estas navidades. La versión que hizo Jeff Buclkey en 1994, incluido en el magnífico disco "Grace", es a mi modesta opinioón la que debería ser la que llege a nº1, pero ya sabemos que lo mejor no siempre suele aparecer en las listas de exitos.

Os dejo el video de la versión de Alexandra y el tema de Jeff Buckley, el video de este último no se puede coger de youtube aunque os dejo el enlace (políticas de las compañias de música) dos canciones para que podais comparar y elegir por vosotros/as mismos/as, pero creo que también os tengo que dejar la canción original:





Y como no, la letra:
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
