The Hebrew meaning of Hallelujah is “Glory to God.” The Canadian songwriter and renowned poet, Leonard Cohen wrote the lyrics in such a manner that they can be interpreted in many different ways.
Celtic Thunder of ‘Hallelujah’ blends the eclectic with the cultural for resonance.
This is the best I could find.
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, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah ...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah ...
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah ...
