Canción para hoy: Hallelujah-Leonard Cohen

Publicado el 05 febrero 2018 por Leira
Para empezar la semana os dejo una de mis canciones preferidas. Bueno, en realidad es algo más que una canción, es un poema en toda regla que composo el inolvidable Leonard Cohen. Está basado en historias bíblicas y utiliza la simbología para expesar la gloria y la pena de amar. 

La canción ha sido versionada por muchos artistas, pero una versión que me pone los pelos de punta es la que hizo Bon Jovi en Madrid Río en 2010. De verdad, que fue impresionante y no hay nada más que ver la cara del público... Es una actuación que se ve con atención plena (cosa que Bon Jovi consigue siempre, os lo aseguro). Espero que disfrutéis y feliz semana.

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 ya
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
Hallelujah
