第一次听,是在911之后的一段视频里面!哈尼路亚……愿主保护,该受保护的人们!我们赞美你,我们愿亲吻你的双脚以获得平安,在此愿战争永远离我们而去!
歌是民谣诗人leonard cohen1984年写的,被认为是流行音乐最美的旋律之一.多义的歌词,既有宗教的隐喻,又渗透着有关性的想象.情感低沉忧郁,缓慢的调子似无望的人在向上帝祈求.hallelujah先后被bob dyaln、john cash等民谣大师及u2乐队里的Bono翻唱过,而被公认最佳最震撼的翻唱是jeff buckley,收录在他1994年的处女专辑Grace中,这首歌使jeff瞬时在美国音乐界声名鹊起.Rufus Wainwright在2001年Shrek里的翻唱了Jeff的版本.他模仿了jeff的风格,不同的是jeff的配乐只有一把低回如泣的吉他伴奏,而后者则配以钢琴,更为流行一些.但从歌曲的情绪感染力角度来说,无疑,Jeff的版本更凄婉,动人.
Hallelujah.其语应来自希伯莱语,读作 Hal-le-lu-jah.意思是"赞美你,主(哈里路的意思是赞美,亚是耶和华简称)",英语译作"Praise the Lord".

Hallelujah
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 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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe I've 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 victory march
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time
You let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show
It to me, do you?
I remember when
I moved in, you
Your holy dark
Was moving too
And every breath we drew
Was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever
Learned from love
Was how to shoot
At someone
Who outdrew you
It's not a cry
You can hear at night
It's not somebody
Who's seen the light
It's a cold and
It's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
我不可预知未来,就如同我总也无法回避与孤独和伤感相遇,在我最为脆弱和无助的时候,不安与恐惧总是如此深刻的纠缠着我,安静的房间,凌乱的书桌,还有干净的地板.
我从未祈求过什么能永恒不变,因为我知道,只有时间.被时间静静的带来,在仰望过飞鸟的天空下闭上双眼,然后,被时间静静的带走.那不是夜晚听到的哭泣,那不是望见光明的某人,那只是寒冷与破败的哈里路亚.
曾有段时间,你让我知道,世界真正的景像是什么.但你从不对我有所表示你是否还记得我曾为你痛苦的感动.祭献的鸽子正飞过时,我们每次呼吸都是哈利路亚.
所以,如果你感到害怕,请和我一同呼吸.因为在祈求永远平静的内心,每一次呼吸都是哈里路亚. 哈里路亚....
