Hallelujah–Leonard Cohen
Well I heard there was a secret chord
我听说世间有一个神秘的和弦
that David played and it pleased the Lord
那是很久以前大卫用来取悦主所弹奏的
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
但你真正在意的并非音乐,是吧
Well it goes like this:
那和弦大约是这样:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
第四音、第五音、降小调、升大调
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
受困的国王(困顿的国王)正谱唱着赞美的歌谣
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
也许你信心坚定,但依然需要事实来证明
You saw her bathing on the roof
你看见她在屋顶沐浴
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
她的美丽和月光征服了你(以上为以色列的国王David的故事)
She tied you to her kitchen chair
她将你绑在她厨房的椅子上
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
毁坏你的宝座,剪去你的头发
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
然后从你的嘴唇,汲取和恳求赞美的歌曲(Samson(参孙)和 Delilah(达利拉)的故事)
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你
Well Baby I’ve been here before
哦宝贝,很久以前我就一直在这里
I’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor,
我看过这个房间,走过这块地板
I used to live alone before I knew you
在认识你之前,我一直活得很孤单
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
我曾在大理石拱门上见过你的旗帜飘扬
And love is not a victory march
而所谓爱,并非是欢祝胜利的进行曲
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
它是冰冷且残破的赞美歌曲
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你
Well there was a time when you let me know
曾经有过一段时光,你让我明白
What’s really going on below
世间究竟的真理
But now you never show that to me do you
而今你却不再对我显现它的正义
But remember when I moved in you
我曾经为你所感动的记忆犹新
And the holy dove was moving too
那时圣洁的白鸽正飞过天际
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
我们的每一口呼吸,都是称颂赞美的歌曲
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你
Maybe there is a God above
也许天上真有一位上帝
But all I’ve ever learned from love
但我后来所知道的爱
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
却是我们拔枪的速度必须比对手更快
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
那不是你在暗夜听到的哭泣
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
也不是某人曾经见过的光明
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
那是冰冷,且残破的赞美歌曲
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你哈雷路亚 上帝,我赞美你
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈雷路亚 亲爱的上帝, 我们赞美你
