Aleluya...el poder de una canción

A Francesca:














Hallelujah es una de las canciones más cantadas de Leonard Cohen, canadiense. Es el que canta con el coro. No sabía cantar , no le gustaba actuar en público y se convirtió en el cantante de los cantantes...demasiado!

Acá una versión de la letra, tal cual la cantó Cohen en un concierto...pero como se nota arriba, cada quien la canta como quiera y le da el orden que quiere...en you tube hay versiones en alemán, en húngaro...es increíble...una belleza...más si se toma en cuenta que Cohen está vivo, es un señor de como 70 años que todavía canta.


Baby I've been here before
I know this room, I walked this floor
I used to live alone here before I knew ya
Yeah and I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But listen love; love is not some kind of victory march
No it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
Ah but now you never show it to me, do ya?
Well but I remember, yeah, when I moved in you
And the holy dove; she was moving too
Yes and every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
As for me; all I ever seem to learn from love
Is how to shoot at someone who out-drew ya
Yeah, but it's not a complaint that you hear tonight
It's not the laughter of someone who
claims to have seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
I've told the truth; I didn't come
all this way to fool ya
Yeah and even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah..

Gracias, Gaby...por recordarme esta mañana esta canción.
Les recomiendo probar a poner play a todas al mismo tiempo...y cerrar los ojos.
