Words of the song hallelujah

Answer 1

Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen. Now 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? It goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halle-lu-jah. 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

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

Answer 2

It believe it is referring to King David and Bathsheba and the resulting fall from grace from their adultery. David experienced remorse and restoration of faith. He then sings praises to God for his forgiveness after singing praises to Bathsheba, whom he loved, for other reasons. Kind of a misplaced hallelujah there but he got on the right track again eventually.

Answer 3

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, 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, she cut your hair.

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've 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'd let me know

What's real and going on below

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

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.

And all I 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's seen the light.

It's a cold and its a broken hallelujah.

Hallelu...

Answer 5

"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, originally released on his studio album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a cover by John Cale, which later formed the basis for a cover by Jeff Buckley. In recent years several cover versions have been performed by a large number and broad range of artists, both in recordings and in concert. The song has also seen significant use in film and television soundtracks, as well as televised talent contests such as The X Factor.

Cohen wrote around 80 draft verses for "Hallelujah", including a writing session during a stay at the Royalton Hotel in New York where he was reduced to sitting on the floor in his underwear, banging his head on the floor.His original version, as recorded on his Various Positions album, contains several Biblical references, most notably evoking the stories of Samson and traitorous Delilah from the Book of Judges as well as the adulterous King David and Bathsheba: "she cut your hair" and "you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you".

Following his original 1984 studio-album version, Cohen performed the original song on his world tour in 1985, but live performances during his 1988 and 1993 tours almost invariably contained a quite different set of lyrics with only the last verse being common to the two versions. Numerous artists mix lyrics from both versions, and occasionally make direct lyric changes, such as Rufus Wainwright, a Canadian-American singer, substituting "holy dark" and Allison Crowe, a Canadian singer-songwriter, substituting "Holy Ghost" for "holy dove".

Cohen's lyrical poetry and his view that "many different hallelujahs exist" is reflected in wide-ranging covers with very different intents or tones of speech, allowing the song to be "melancholic, fragile, uplifting or joyous" depending on the performer: The Welsh singer-songwriter John Cale, the first person to record a cover version of the song in 1991, promoted a message of "soberness and sincerity" in contrast to Cohen's dispassionate tone;The cover by Jeff Buckley, an American singer-songwriter, is more sorrowful and was described by Buckley as "a hallelujah to the orgasm"; Crowe interpreted the song as a "very sexual" composition that discussed relationships; Wainwright offered a "purifying and almost liturgical" interpretation to the song; and Guy Garvey of the British band Elbow anthropomorphised the hallelujah as a "stately creature" and incorporated his religious interpretation of the song into his band's recordings.
When it was written it was basically about religion. The writer is trying to say there are many different types of Hallelujah and he emphasizes this by using some biblical story parts in the song, often referencing to them later on in the song as well. It is mainly based on the story of King David and Ba shebah
