Chelsea Hotel [#1]

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?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now, maybe there's a God above,
as for me, all i've ever learned from love
is how to shoot to someone who outdrew you.
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight,
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Oh people, i've been here before,
I know this room and I've walked this floor.
You see, I use to live alone before i knew you.
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 lonely Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I've done my best, I know it wasn't much,
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch,
I've told the truth, I didn't come here to London just to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong
I stand up here before the lord of song
With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

He oído decir que había un acorde secreto
que tocaba David y que agradaba al Señor
pero a ti no te importa nada realmente la música ¿ verdad ?
Era algo como esto:
la cuarta, la quinta,
la cadencia menor, la mayor ascendente
el rey confundido y frustrado componiendo Aleluya

Tu fe era fuerte pero necesitabas ser probado
Tu la viste bañándose en el tejado
Su belleza y la luz de la luna te derrotaron
Ella te encadenó
a una silla de cocina
Rompió tu trono, te cortó el pelo
y de tus labios borró el Aleluya

Tu dices que tomé el Nombre en vano
cuando ni siquiera conozco el Nombre
pero si lo hice, bueno, realmente ¿ qué sería eso para tí ?
Hay una llamarada de luz
en todas y cada una de las palabras
No importa cual oyeras
el Aleluya santo o el quebrantado

Lo hice lo mejor que pude que no era mucho
No pude sentir así que intenté tocar
He dicho la verdad. No vine a engañarte
e incluso aunque
todo fuera mal
permanecería delante del Señor de la Canción
sin nada en mi lengua salvo Aleluy
