Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
– Awor mi a tende ku tabatin un akòrdo sekreto
That David played and it pleased the Lord
– Cu David a toca Y a gusta Señor
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
– Pero bo no ta preokupá ku músika, no ta bèrdat?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
– Asina ta bai, e di kuater, e di sinku
The minor fall, the major lift
– E bahada menor, e elevacion mayor
The baffled king composing “Hallelujah”
– E rei konfundí ta komponé “Aleluya”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
– Bo fe tabata fuerte, pero bo mester di prueba.
You saw her bathing on the roof
– Bo a bisti’é bañando riba dak
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
– Su bunitesa i lus di luna ya a derotá
She tied you to a kitchen chair
– E a mara bo na un stul di kushina
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
– E a kibra bo trono i a korta bo kabei
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
– I for di bo lipnan e a pinta E Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
You say I took the name in vain
– Bo ta bisa ku mi a tuma e nòmber na balor
I don’t even know the name
– Mi no sa ni e nòmber
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to ya?
– Pero si mi a hasié, bon, na serio, kiko ta pa bo?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
– Tin un lus den kada palabra
It doesn’t matter which you heard
– No ta importá kiko bo a tende
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
– E santu Òf E Kibrá Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Aleluya, Aleluya
I did my best, it wasn’t much
– Mi a hasi mi mihó, no tabata muchu.
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
– Mi no por a sinti, p’esei mi a purba di toka
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
– Mi a bisa e bèrdat, mi no a bin pa gaña bo.
And even though it all went wrong
– I aunke tur kos a bai malu
I’ll stand before the lord of song
– Mi ta presentá mi mes dilanti di e señor di e kantika
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
– Sin nada den mi idioma excepto 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
– Mi tabata aki promé
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
– Mi konosé e kamber aki, mi a kana riba e piso aki
I used to live alone before I knew ya
– E tabata biba su so promé ku e konosé bo
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
– I mi a mira bo bandera riba e arko di marmol
Love is not a victory march
– Amor no ta un marcha viktorioso
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– E ta un grip i E Ta Un Aleluya kibrá
There was a time you let me know
– Tabata un tempu ku bo a laga mi sa
What’s really going on below
– Loke realmente ta pasando despues
But now you never show it to me, do ya?
– Pero awor bo no ta mustra mi, no ta bèrdat?
And remember when I moved in you
– I kòrda ora mi a muda den bo
The holy dove was moving too
– E paloma sagrado tambe tabata move
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
– I kada rosea ku nos a pinta tabata Aleluya
Maybe there’s a God above
– Kisas Tin Un Dios ariba
But all I’ve ever learned from love
– Pero tur loke mi a siña di amor
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
– E tabata kon pa tira riba un hende ku a pasa bo
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
– I no ta un yora loke bo ta tende anochi
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
– E No ta un persona ku a mira lus
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– E ta un grip i E Ta Un Aleluya kibrá
