Letra original:

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 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 her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the 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…

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…

esta es una de esas canciones que logran emocionarte.
cuando vi el (video) concierto live in london casi lloro.
las versiones de rufus wainwright y de dylan también son buenas. después hay una versión de bono que no se entiende muy bien que es.
de todas maneras nadie supera al maestro cohen.

salú!
y buena vida...
