Lost Songs in my Ipod #7

12
Sono particolarmente affezionata a questa canzone
, ed ogni volta che la sento mi si accappona la pelle e delle lacrimucce cercano di affiorare per la commozione.
non è prettamente natalizia, ma sono felice di postarvela comunque proprio durante questo periodo.

“Hallelujah” è stata scritta ed interpretata da Leonard Cohen nel 1984. Il brano non ebbe molto successo, tuttavia nel corso degli anni ricevette più di 180 reinterpretazioni, molte anche ad opera dello stesso autore. La reinterpretazione di maggior successo, risale al 1994 ed è di Jeff Buckley.

Vi lascio l’interpretazione del brano di Rufus Wainwright.
alcuni di voi lo avranno sicuramente sentito nel primo film di Shrek.

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 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, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Bayby 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 when 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

And it’s not a cry you can 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
