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 baffled [bad word] Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and 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

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

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the [bad word]  I [bad word] 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

[Verse 1:]
[1 куплет:]
I've heard there was a secret chord
Я слышал, тайный есть аккорд,
That David played and it pleased the Lord.
Давид играл, дивился Бог,
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Как музыку не любишь ты такую?
It goes like this... the fourth, the fifth
Сыграю я: четыре, пять
The minor fall, the major lift
Минор падёт, но вверх опять,
The baffled [bad word] Hallelujah.
Поверженный король пел: "Аллилуйя"!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, (Hallelujah...)
Аллилуйя [4x]

[Verse 2:]
[2 куплет:]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
Пусть вера без того сильна,
You saw her bathing on the roof.
Тебе ответила она,
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
В сиянии её вся ночь ликует.
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
На кухне с нею ты присел,
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
Твой трон разбит, ты облысел,
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
И с губ твоих сорвалось "Аллилуйя!"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, (Hallelujah...)
Аллилуйя [4x]

[Verse 3:]
[3 куплет:]
Maybe I have been here before.
Может, здесь я и бывал,
I know this room, I've walked this floor.
По этой комнате шагал,
I used to live alone before I knew you.
Но без тебя не знал судьбу другую.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Твоим победам нет числа,
Love is not a victory march,
Но не любовь тебя спасла,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Она разбита в звуках "Аллилуйя"!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, (Hallelujah...)
Аллилуйя [4x]
