Lyrics and translation Yasmin Levy & Javier Limón - Hallelujah




Hallelujah
Hallelujah
hablar de una canción
I heard a song of a king
Del rey David para el Señor,
David to the Lord,
Pero a ti los salmos no te gustan
But you don't like the psalms
Hay tanta luz en su voz
There's so much light in her voice
Como el dolor mas atroz
As the most atrocious pain
En este roto y santo Aleluya
In this broken and holy Hallelujah
Aleluya
Hallelujah
La luna llena le mostró
The full moon showed him
En todo su esplendor
In all its splendor
A Batseba, bañandose desnuda
Bathsheba, bathing naked
Y a través de esa mujer
And through that woman
El rey David no supo ver
King David could not see
Todo en el era Aleluya
Everything in him was Hallelujah
Aleluya
Hallelujah
Bien que existe un Dios
I know there is a God
Pero lo que me enseñó el amor
But what love has taught me
Es a disparar a quien me apunta
Is to shoot at the one who points at me
No es ésto una canción triunfal
This is not a triumphal song
Ni el grito de un triste final
Nor the cry of a sad end
Sino un frío y solitario Aleluya
But a cold and lonely Hallelujah
