歌曲作品
創作信息
其歌詞充滿詩意,內涵豐富,曲調緩慢憂傷,加上Leonard滄桑嗓音的低吟淺唱,演繹出了一種清淡而悠長的回味。
翻唱版本
Hallelujah的版本很多,其中最有影響力的還是美國著名創作型歌手Jeff Buckley的翻唱版本,被收錄在其1994年的專輯"Grace"中。Jeff被U2的Bono形容為“噪海中的純淨一滴”,他的聲音明麗甜蜜又性感飄渺,詮釋起悲傷和記憶來卻更令人印象深刻。對"Hallelujah"的翻唱,將原作者Leonard Cohen和同樣唱過此歌的John Cale兩位大師都遠遠地拋到了後面。Buckley在這道歌中表達出的全新洞見,是聽別人的版本10遍也無法體會得到的(據說連joan osborne這樣的狂人,也曾經每天要聽三四遍Jeff"Hallelujah")。 相對於原唱的清淡餘韻,Jeff版本給人更多靈魂的提煉感,令人動容。

Leonard Cohen
Now I've heard there was a secret chord 我聽說曾有一個神秘的和弦
That David played and it pleased the Lord 是大衛王為取悅主所奏
But you don't really care for music do you 可你不是真的在意音樂,是嗎?
It goes like this 那旋律像這樣奏起
The fourth the fifth 第四,第五
The minor fall the major lift 小調落下,大調升起
The baffled king composing Hallelujah 飽受煎熬的國王寫下了讚美之歌哈利路亞
Hallelujah 哈利路亞
Hallelujah 哈利路亞
Hallelujah 哈利路亞
Hallelujah 哈利路亞
Your faith was strong but you needed proof 你的信仰如此堅定但你需要證明
You saw her bathing on the roof 你看到她在屋頂沐浴
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you 月光下,她的美貌徹底把你征服
She tied you 她把你綁在
To a kitchen chair 一把餐椅上
She broke your throne and she cut your hair 推翻你的寶座,並剪掉你的髮絲
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah 從你的唇間,她讀出了哈利路亞
Hallelujah Hallelujah 哈利路亞,哈利路亞
Hallelujah Hallelujah 哈利路亞,哈利路亞
You say I took the name in vain 你說我讀這個名字也是徒勞
I don't even know the name 我甚至不知道那個名字是什麼

I've told the truth I didn't come to fool you 我說的是真相,不打算欺騙你
