hallelujah

ilk olarak leonard cohen'in söylediği ilahı tadında şarkımsı. anlamı 'elhamdülilllah' demek imiş. daha sonra birçok kez coverlanmıştır.

worms adlı bilgisayar oyununda bir silah kullanılınca söylenirdi bu söz. ordaki kurtçuklara hastayım ya.

en etkileyicisi jeff buckley tarafından yorumlanmış olanıdır.

sözler;

now 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 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, 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

bir paramore şarkısı.

somehow everything's gonna fall right into place,
ıf we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday.
ıf only time flew like a dove,
will god make it fly faster than ı'm falling in love.

this time we're not giving up,
let's make it last forever,
screaming "hallelujah".
we'll make it last forever.

holding onto patience, wearing thin,
ı can't force these eyes to see the end.
ıf only time flew like a dove,
well we could watch it fly, and just keep looking up.

this time we're not giving up,
let's make it last forever,
screaming "hallelujah".
we'll make it last forever.

and we've got time on our hands.
[and we've got time]
got nothing but time on our hands.
got nothing but, got nothing but.
[and we've got time]
got nothing but time on our hands.

this time we're not giving up,
oh, let's make it last forever,
screaming "hallelujah".
"hallelujah".

bir de nick cave den hallelujah vardır..

on the first day of may ı took to the road
ı'd been staring out the window most of the morning
ı'd watched the rain claw at the glass
and a vicious wind blew hard and fast
ı should have taken it as a warning
as a warning as a warning
as a warning

ı'd given my nurse the weekend off
my meals were ill prepared
my typewriter had turned mute as a tomb
and my piano crouched in the corner of my room
with all its teeth bared
all its teeth bared all its teeth bared
all its teeth bared.

hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah

ı left my house without my coat
something my nurse would not have allowed
and ı took the small roads out of town
and ı passed a cow and the cow was brown
and my pyjamas clung to me like a shroud
like a shroud like a shroud
like a shroud

there rose before me a little house
with all hope and dreams kept within
a woman's voice close to my ear
said, "why don't you come in here?"
"you looked soaked to the skin"
soaked to the skin soaked to the skin
soaked to the skin

hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah

ı turned to the woman and the woman was young
ı extended a hearty salutation
but ı knew if my nurse had been here
she would never in a thousand years
permit me to accept that invitation
ınvitation that invitation
that invitation

now, you might think it wise to risk it all
throw caution to the reckless wind
but with her hot cocoa and her medication
my nurse had been my one salvation
so ı turned back home
ı turned back home ı turned back home
singing my song

hallelujah
the tears are welling in my eyes again
hallelujah
ı need twenty big buckets to catch them in
hallelujah
and twenty pretty girls to carry
them down
hallelujah
and twenty deep holes to bury them in
hallelujah
the tears are welling in my eyes again
hallelujah
ı need twenty big buckets to catch them in
hallelujah
and twenty pretty girls to carry them down
hallelujah
and twenty deep holes to bury them in
