Hallelujah是一句希伯来语，来自圣经，意思是赞美主。 这首歌透着一股空灵和孤寂的味道，并且渐渐的流淌到内心的深处，就像某一篇在结尾时写的那样"如果有这样的一个机会,你与他的声音不期而遇,我唯一的建议是,听一遍,再听一遍.."因为只有这样你才能明白,当你在漫长的黑夜之后用手遮住双眼抬头还能看见明媚的阳光是一件多么幸福而知得感激的事情. Hallelujah！！！


这首歌有很多版本，不过最常见的是Leonard Cohen在1985年发行的版本，Jeff  Buckley在1993年的翻唱版本，以及Rufus Wainwright的版本。这首歌在很多电视和电影里面作为配乐出现过，如Shrek I，The O.C., House还有《色彩人生》等等，我最喜欢的是Rufus Wainwright的在怪物shrek里的那个版本：

Hallelujah歌词几乎是处处依托圣经故事的。在第一段歌词中提到的David。David，大卫，牧羊人出身，但容貌俊美，英勇善战，能赋能歌，战胜巨人哥利亚，被上帝选为以色列的国王。在大卫当国王的时候，一日傍晚，在阳台闲逛时偶然发现一貌美女子正在沐浴（Hallelujah 歌词中的 You saw her bathing on the roof / Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you），娇媚性感的曲线加上柔和迷人的月光将大卫彻底吸引住。之后，大卫便派人四处打听此女子，想要知道她的芳名。原来，这个迷人的女子名叫Bethsheba（拔示巴），是大卫的一位部将Uriah（乌利亚）的妻子。大卫忍受不住占有拔示巴的欲望，终于让人将拔示巴接入宫中，与其同房。不久，拔示巴怀上了大卫的孩子，大卫恐慌万分，急忙召回远在前线的乌利亚，借口让其休整一下，意图让乌利亚回到家中与妻子同房以掩盖拔示巴肚中孩子的亲缘归属。但是，乌利亚是一位忠于职守为国尽忠的勇士，他对大卫说：“国家处于危机，我怎有心思回家与妻子相欢，溺于安享。”乌利亚要求大卫将自己重新派回到战场上。大卫此时便顺水推舟，并写成密信一封，让乌利亚携信到大将军约亚那里；信中大卫指示约亚将乌利亚派往最为危险的战场。于是，乌利亚就在大卫的密谋和意愿下战死沙场，而大卫则将拔示巴迎进自己的后宫，名正言顺的占有了拔示巴。然而，占有拔示巴的大卫并不快乐，他白天对着众人强颜欢笑，夜晚就成为自己罪过的奴隶，受尽折磨。大卫认识到自己的罪行，写下五十一篇忏悔书，歌与上帝，祈求宽恕（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?）。

歌曲中的另一个故事
She tied you To a kitchen chair / She broke your throne, and she cut your hair 这个场景虽然在大卫犯奸淫罪的过程中也有相似发生，但如果用 Samson（参孙）和 Delilah（达利拉）的故事来解释也很更为贴切吧？


Hallelujah

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor,
you know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you 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
