Lyrics
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
– Kounye a mwen te tande te gen yon akò sekrè
That David played and it pleased the Lord
– Ke David te jwe E Li te fè Seyè a plezi
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
– Men, ou pa vrèman pran swen pou mizik, ou fè?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
– Li ale tankou sa a, katriyèm lan, senkyèm lan
The minor fall, the major lift
– Ti tonbe a, gwo leve a
The baffled king composing “Hallelujah”
– Wa a konfonn konpoze “Aleluya”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
– Lafwa ou te fò, men ou te bezwen prèv
You saw her bathing on the roof
– Ou te wè l ap benyen sou do kay la
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
– Bote li ak limyè lalin lan te ranvèse ou
She tied you to a kitchen chair
– Li mare ou nan yon chèz kwizin
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
– Li te kraze fòtèy ou e li te koupe cheve ou
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
– Ak nan bouch ou li te trase Aleluya a
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
You say I took the name in vain
– Ou di mwen te pran non an pou gremesi
I don’t even know the name
– Mwen pa menm konnen non an
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to ya?
– Men, si mwen te fè, byen, reyèlman, ki sa li nan ou?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
– Gen yon flanm dife nan limyè nan chak mo
It doesn’t matter which you heard
– Li pa enpòtan ki sa ou te tande
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
– Sentespri A oswa Aleluya a kase
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
I did my best, it wasn’t much
– Mwen te fè pi bon mwen, li pa t ‘ anpil
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
– Mwen pa t ‘ kapab santi, se konsa, mwen te eseye manyen
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
– Mwen te di verite a, mwen pa t ‘ vin twonpe ou
And even though it all went wrong
– E menm si tout bagay te ale mal
I’ll stand before the lord of song
– Mwen pral kanpe devan seyè a nan chante
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
– Pa gen anyen sou lang mwen men aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Baby, I’ve been here before
– Ti bebe, mwen te isit la anvan
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
– Mwen konnen chanm sa a, mwen te mache etaj sa a
I used to live alone before I knew ya
– Mwen te konn viv pou kont mwen anvan mwen te konnen ou
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
– E mwen te wè drapo ou sou marble arch la
Love is not a victory march
– Lanmou se pa yon mach viktwa
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Li se yon frèt e li se Yon Aleluya kase
There was a time you let me know
– Te gen yon tan ou te fè m konnen
What’s really going on below
– Ki sa ki vrèman ap pase anba a
But now you never show it to me, do ya?
– Men, kounye a ou pa janm montre m ‘ li, ou fè?
And remember when I moved in you
– Epi sonje lè mwen te deplase nan ou
The holy dove was moving too
– Pijon sentespri a te deplase tou
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
– E chak souf nou te pran Se Te Aleluya
Maybe there’s a God above
– Petèt gen Yon Bondye pi wo a
But all I’ve ever learned from love
– Men tout sa mwen te janm aprann nan renmen
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
– Te kijan pou tire sou yon moun ki te surpasser ou
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
– Epi se pa yon kriye ke ou tande nan mitan lannwit
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
– Se pa yon moun ki te wè limyè a
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Li se yon frèt e li se Yon Aleluya kase
