這是一首血淚交織的情歌兼情詩
開始就借用了幾段聖經故事(Samson and Delilah, King David and Bathsheba)
和上帝/魔鬼來影射慾望的力量和愛情的殘酷
歌詞描述的是
對愛的憧憬
對愛的犧牲
對愛的懷疑
對愛的失望
我 到底是在天堂還是地獄?????
妳 到底是天使還是魔鬼??????
高喊 Hallelujah
是在感謝! 也是在求救!
很多人是在看Shrek電影的時候聽過這首歌. 其實它是 Leonard Cohen 1984年的歌. Cohen 自己唱的成績平平. 但是有一大堆名歌手翻唱過, 幾乎每一個翻唱的版本都很受歡迎 (John Cale, Bob Dylan, Jon Bon Jovi.....). Youtube 上都有.
我選的是2006年四個挪威籍實力派歌手 Espen Lind, Kurt Nilsen, Alejandro Fuentes and Askil Holm 在挪威(Norway)合作的版本. 四個不同的聲音, 聽起來更過癮.
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 in 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
(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)
There was a time when 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)
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)
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)
