Lyrics
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
– Ego audivi erat arcanum chorda
That David played and it pleased the Lord
– Et david pro confractione, et salomon pro eis qui in sanctificationem,
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
– Ego non habeo animale domestika, habest tu?
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
– Bene sic accedit: quartum, quintum
The minor fall, the major lift
– Minor cadit, maior ascendit
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
– La regina semiramide alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hmm
– Alleluia, Alleluia,
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof
– Fides tua fortis erat, sed probatione opus erat
You saw her bathing on the roof
– Vidisti eam lavantem in tecto
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
– Pulchritudo eius in luce lunae evertit ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
– Et ligatum ad culinam cathedra
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
– Illa thronum tuum fregit et comas incidit
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
– Et de labiis tuis traxit Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Well baby, I’ve been here before
– Bene infantem, ego fui prius hic
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
– Hunc cubiculum vidi et hanc aream ambulavi
I used to live alone before I knew ya
– Ego solus vivere antequam scirem ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
– Et vidi vexillum tuum in fornice marmoreo
And love is not a victory march
– Et in misericordia altissimi non commovebitur
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Frigidum est et fractum Est Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Well, maybe there’s a God above
– Bene, Illic ‘ A Deo maybe super
But all I’ve ever learned from love
– Sed ego semper omnes didicit ex amore
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
– Quam ut sagittent erat quis qui outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
– Sed non clamant qui noctu audiunt
It’s not somebody who has seen the Light
– Non est Qui Videat Lumen
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Frigidum est et fractum Est Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Alleluia, Alleluia
