hallelujah


baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but listen love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

there was a time you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
and  I remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
 
maybe there is a god above
as for me all I ever seem to learn from love
is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
but its not a complain that you re here tonight
it's not the laughter of someone
who claimed to have seen the light
no it's a cold and it's a very lonely hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
and even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah


you say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
but if I did, well really, what's it to you?
there's a blaze of light in every word
it doesn't matter which you heard
the holy or the broken hallelujah

κι ύστερα είπα
σπάω την μοναξιά με κάθε κόστος.
ακόμη και της απελπισίας.
αν είναι να γελω κάθε πρωί
με κάθε κόστος.
