That David Played and It Pleased the Lord

<p> Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen</p><p>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.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah.</p><p>Your faith was strong but you needed a proof. You saw her bathing on the foot, her beauty in 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.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah.</p><p>Maybe 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 vict’ry march. It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah.</p><p>There was a time you let me know what’s really going on below, but know you never show it to me do you? And remember when I moved in you, the holy dark was moving too. And ev’ry breath we drew was hallelujah.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah.</p><p>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 cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah.</p><p>Hallelujah,hallelujah. Hallelujah,hallelujah. Traduzione</p><p>Ho sentito dire che c’era un accordo segreto che David suonava, e piaceva al Signore, ma a te non interessa molto la musica, vero? Fa così: la quarta, la quinta, la minore scende, la maggiore sale, il re perplesso componeva l’Alleluia.</p><p>Alleluia. Alleluia.</p><p>La tua fede era forte, ma avevi bisogno di una prova, la vedesti fare il bagno sulla terrazza la sua bellezza e la luce della luna ti hanno sopraffatto. Lei ti legò a una sedia di cucina, salì sul tuo trono, ti tagliò i capelli e dalle tue labbra fece sgorgare l’Alleluia.</p><p>Alleluia. Alleluia.</p><p>Piccola, ero già stato qui, in passato, conosco questa stanza, ho camminato su questo pavimento, ero solito stare da solo prima che ti incontrassi. Ho visto la tua bandiera, alta sull’arco di marmo, l’amore non è una marcia vittoriosa, è un freddo e rovinoso Alleluia.</p><p>Alleluia. Alleluia.</p><p>Ci fu un tempo che tu mi lasciasti capire che cosa stava succedendo veramente, ma adesso tu non me lo mostreresti ancora, vero? E ricorda quando mi muovevo dentro di te, la colomba sacra che si muoveva pure, ed ogni respiro che emettavamo era un Alleluia.</p><p>Alleluia. Alleluia.</p><p>Forse c’è un Dio lassù ma tutto ciò che mai imparai dall’amore fu come a sparare a qualcuno che ti ha messo fuori combattimento. Non è un pianto quello che senti stanotte, non è qualcuno che ha visto la luce, è un freddo, è uno spezzato Alleluia.</p>
