Hallelujah Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 ya?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 2]
La fede mia mi abbandonò
Si perse, ma si ritrovò
Perché smarrito sempre la cercai
Bellezza, incanto e nostalgia
Ferirono la mente mia
Che in lacrime gridava un "Hallelujah"


[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Il santo nome tuo dirò
Un nome che ormai non ho
Paura che risuoni dentro me
Di luce esplode la poesia
Come una sacra sinfonia
Che intona per il mondo un "Hallelujah"

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 4]
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Outro]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

What did Andrea Bocelli say about "Hallelujah"?
Genius Answer

Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ isn’t a religious song in the strictest sense, but it’s filled with religious feeling and is a tribute to life itself. My new version has respected the feel of the original, but the orchestration incorporates adult and children’s choirs. More notably, it has been arranged as a daring duet, separating the voices of the performers and the lyrics into English and Italian.
