在豆瓣上跟人灌水的时候说到 Leonard Cohen 的 Hallelujah,老爷子的这首歌到现在也算上流芳了 20 多年了,无数的 cover,有不少我觉得比原版还要好,比如 Jeff Buckley 的。
我第一次听这歌就是 Jeff Buckley 的,专辑 Grace,曾经一度在我的播放器里单曲循环。一首好听到找不到词形容的歌,伴奏里的电吉他很平静,Jeff Buckley 的嗓音很棒,很纯净,声音转换以及假声都让人叹服。这首歌(还有其他 Jeff Buckley 的歌)在脆弱的时候听真是让人很心碎……
可惜 Jeff Buckley 死得早,居然跑到河里去游泳,居然还溺水了,第二张专辑准备到一半就英年早逝了。虽然唱片公司赚死人钱把他的一些录音发表出来了,但是要是还活着的话,不知道还会有多少名作。
不说废话,贴歌词……
Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley
I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
HallelujahWell your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
HallelujahBaby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
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 HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
HallelujahWell there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
HallelujahWell, maybe there’s 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 HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah……
