Lyrics
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
– Manje sengizwile ukuthi kunomculo oyimfihlo
That David played and it pleased the Lord
– Ukuthi Udavide wadlala futhi kwajabulisa Inkosi
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
– Kodwa awunandaba ngempela nomculo,akunjalo?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
– Kufana nalokhu, okwesine, okwesihlanu
The minor fall, the major lift
– Ukuwa okuncane, ukuphakanyiswa okukhulu
The baffled king composing “Hallelujah”
– Inkosi edidekile iqamba ” Haleluya”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
– Ukholo lwakho lwalunamandla, kodwa wawudinga ubufakazi
You saw her bathing on the roof
– Wambona egeza ophahleni
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
– Ubuhle bakhe nokukhanya kwenyanga kwakugumbuqela
She tied you to a kitchen chair
– Wakubopha esihlalweni sasekhishini
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
– Waphula isihlalo sakho sobukhosi futhi wasika izinwele zakho
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
– Futhi ezindebeni zakho wadweba Ihaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
You say I took the name in vain
– Uthi ngathatha leli gama ngeze
I don’t even know the name
– Angazi ngisho negama
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to ya?
– Kodwa uma ngenza, kahle, ngempela, kuyini kuwe?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
– Kunomlilo wokukhanya kuwo wonke amazwi
It doesn’t matter which you heard
– Akunandaba ukuthi uzwile ngani
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
– Ihaleluya elingcwele noma elaphukile
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
I did my best, it wasn’t much
– Ngenza konke okusemandleni ami, kwakungeyona into enkulu
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
– Ngangingazizwa, ngakho ngazama ukuthinta
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
– Ngikhulume iqiniso, angizange ngize ukuzokukhohlisa
And even though it all went wrong
– Futhi nakuba konke kwahamba kabi
I’ll stand before the lord of song
– Ngizokuma phambi kwenkosi yengoma
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
– Ngingenalutho olimini lwami ngaphandle kukahaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Baby, I’ve been here before
– Baby, ngake ngaba lapha ngaphambili
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
– Ngiyazi leli gumbi, ngiye ngahamba kuleli gumbi
I used to live alone before I knew ya
– Ngangihlala ngedwa ngaphambi kokuba ngikwazi
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
– Futhi ngiye ngabona ifulege lakho e-arch yemarble
Love is not a victory march
– Uthando alulona uhambo lokunqoba
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Kubanda futhi Kuyi Hallelujah ephukile
There was a time you let me know
– Kwakunesikhathi ongazise ngaso
What’s really going on below
– Kwenzekani ngempela ngezansi
But now you never show it to me, do ya?
– Kodwa manje awusoze wangibonisa, akunjalo?
And remember when I moved in you
– Futhi khumbula lapho ngithuthela kuwe
The holy dove was moving too
– Ijuba elingcwele nalo lalihamba
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
– Futhi konke ukuphefumula esakudonsa kwakuyihaleluya
Maybe there’s a God above
– Mhlawumbe Kukhona Unkulunkulu ngenhla
But all I’ve ever learned from love
– Kodwa konke engake ngakufunda othandweni
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
– Kwakuyindlela yokudubula umuntu owayemkhulu kunawe
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
– Futhi akukhona ukukhala okuzwayo ebusuku
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
– Akayena umuntu obone ukukhanya
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Kubanda futhi Kuyi Hallelujah ephukile
