Halleluja(original) |
| Historien fortæller at david engang |
| Behagede gud med en sjælden sang |
| Men musik har aldrig virkelig interesseret dig, vel? |
| Den går sådan her en kvart en kvint |
| En molnedgang, som ender blindt |
| Den slagne konge synger halleluja |
| David’s tro var stærk, men han ville se bevis |
| Og hun dansede ud på den tynde is |
| Månen og hendes ansigt slog ham omkuld |
| Og hun bandt ham til et køkkenbord |
| Hun brød hans magt og hun skar hans hår |
| Og fra hans læber drog hun et halleluja |
| Men baby, du ved jeg har været her før |
| Jeg har åbnet det vindue og smækket den dør |
| Jeg boede her da jeg lærte dig at kende |
| Og jeg så dig marchere under flag og sang |
| Men kærlighed er ik en sejrsgang |
| Det' et vaklende og fortvivlet halleluja |
| Der var en tid hvor jeg ku se |
| Præcis hvad du følte indeni |
| Nu ser jeg kun en skygge af foragt |
| Men jeg husker dig blidt ind over mig |
| Og himlen viste os på vej |
| Vores åndedræt var et hviskende halleluja |
| Måske er der en gud et sted |
| Men alt hvad jeg véd om kærlighed |
| Er hvordan man piner livet ud af sig selv |
| Det hér er ikke et klageråb |
| En udbrændt pilgrims sidste håb |
| Det er et koldt og det' et ensomt halleluja |
| Jeg gjorde det bedste jeg ku gør' |
| Ved ikke hvad jeg følte men jeg prøved at rør' |
| Jeg talte sandt, jeg kom ikke for at svigte |
| Selvom alt gik galt alt hvad jeg gjorde og sag' |
| Vil jeg stå foran gud på den sidste dag |
| Med intet andet end et halleluja |
| (translation) |
| The story goes that David once |
| Pleased god with a rare song |
| But music never really interested you, did it? |
| It goes like this a quarter a fifth |
| A cloudy descent which ends blindly |
| The smitten king sings hallelujah |
| David's faith was strong, but he wanted to see proof |
| And she danced out on the thin ice |
| The moon and her face knocked him over |
| And she tied him to a kitchen table |
| She broke his power and she cut his hair |
| And from his lips she drew a hallelujah |
| But baby, you know I've been here before |
| I have opened that window and slammed that door |
| I lived here when I got to know you |
| And I saw you marching under flags and song |
| But love is not a triumph |
| It's a faltering and despairing hallelujah |
| There was a time when I could see |
| Exactly what you felt inside |
| Now I see only a shadow of contempt |
| But I remember you gently over me |
| And heaven showed us our way |
| Our breath was a whispering hallelujah |
| Maybe there is a god somewhere |
| But all I know about love |
| Is how to torture the life out of yourself |
| This is not a cry of complaint |
| A burnt-out pilgrim's last hope |
| It's a cold and it's a lonely hallelujah |
| I did the best I can do' |
| Don't know what I felt but I tried to touch' |
| I spoke the truth, I did not come to fail |
| Even though everything went wrong everything I did and said' |
| Will I stand before God on the last day |
| With nothing but a hallelujah |
