Hallelujah


Sé que soy doblemente poco original colgando este tema de Leonard Cohen. Por un lado, porque es el que siempre suena del canadiense y por otro, porque hoy le han entregado el Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras con el que fue galardonado hace unos meses.

Pero no se trata de ser original, se trata de sacar afuera todo ese sentimiento contenido. Es tan tremendo este tema, con la voz de Cohen traída desde las profundidades de la tierra y la letra, que como de costumbre cada uno tendrá una interpretación, pero la mía me encanta.

En fin, otra de esas canciones para apagar luces, dejarse llevar... y después tendrá que venir lo que tenga que venir.
 


Now I've heard there was a secret chordThat 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…
