Jeg er tydeligvis ikke helt med i svingene...

[Let's hear it for the boys!]

...for jeg har aldri fått med meg at "Hallelujah" handler om sex!?

 

Det forandrer jo alt. Ikke så kjedelig sang allikevel, da.

[PAVEEL]

Har aldri hørt noe særlig på teksten,syntes ikke den er noe fin med kurt og de..

[Gjest Sauen - preggers]

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the 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

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, 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 remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, 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

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, 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 before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

 

 

 

 

Nydelig tekst!

[~sjiraff~]

Halleluja, Leonard Cohen

I heard there was a secret chord

that David played and it pleased the Lord

but you don't really care for music do ya

Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king composing hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

she tied you to a kitchen chair

she broke your throne and she cut your hair

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

 

Hallelujah,hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

and love is not a victory march

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

 

Hallelujah,hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Well there was a time when you let me know

what's really going on below

but now you never show that to me do ya

but remember when I moved in you

and the Holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Well maybe there's a God above

but all I've ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

it's not somebody who's seen the light

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

[Let's hear it for the boys!]

Den handler om David som hadde seg med Batseba, gjorde henne gravid og sendte mannen hennes ut i krig for å dø.

 

Teksten er visst veldig seksuell, og handler om seksuell ydmykelse...

[Gjest]

Folk tolker det jo så forskjellig da. Jeg ser ikke sex i den teksten, men det er bare meg da.

[FrøkenSprøken]

Men ble nå egentlig Gud så veldig "pleased" av Davids handlinger?

Mener å huske at Gud straffet David for det?

 

Og handler virkelig hele sangen om den hendelsen, eller er det bare en intertekstuell ting?

[Gjest]

Seriøst, ser du ikke sex-biten i den? Les da:

 

"but remember when I moved in you

and the Holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah"

 

eller fritt oversatt til norsk:

 

"men jeg husker når jeg bevegde meg inni deg

og den hellige Ånd (due) bevegde seg også

at hvert eneste pust vi trakk var "hallelujah!"

 

er jo en vakker skildring av en orgasme dette her ;-)
