Musica #5

Nuovo post, oggi mi sento ispirata :)
Comunque vi vorrei proporre una canzone chi adoro, è emozionante, a mio parere MERAVIGLIOSA.
E' una canzone scritta ed interpretata dal cantautore canadese Leonard Cohen.
La canzone è: Hallelujah
E' stata composta per l'album Various Positions pubblicato nel 1984.
Nonostante all'inizio non ebbe gran successo, successivamente fu reinterpretata da numerosi cantanti (180 reinterpretazioni) come:
Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Bon Jovi, Rufus Wainwright e molti molti altri.
Rufus Wainwright la cantò per Shrek, questa canzone ne fu infatti colonna sonora.
Io l'ho proprio scoperta attraverso Shrek.

Testo:

Hallelujah (lyrics) 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? Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, 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 a kitchen chair She broke your throne, 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 you. But I've seen your flag on the marble arch, And love is not a victory march, It's a cold and it is a broken

 Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

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

Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well, maybe there is a God above, But all that I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. It's not a cry that you hear at night, And it is not somebody who has seen the light It's a cold and it is a broken

Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah.

Testo:

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 let me know 
What's real and going on below 
But now you never show it to me, do you? 
And remember when I moved in you? 
The holy dark 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 
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
