Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah (1984) 歌词释意
I heard there was a secret chord我听说有一组秘密的和弦That david played and it pleased the lord那是大卫所奏,献于上帝
But you don't really care for music, do you但是 你并不是真的留心音乐,不是么
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift旋律的走向如是一般:第四个和第五个音阶
小调降,大调升
The baffled king composing hallelujah
受挫的君王谱写哈里路亚
Hallelujah...
哈里路亚
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof虽然信仰坚定,但你仍需见证
You saw her bathing on the roof你看见她在穹顶上的沐浴
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you她的美丽和月光颠覆你的心
She tied you to her kitchen chair她把你绑在她厨房的凳上
she broke your throne and she cut your hair破坏你的王座也夺去你的力量
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
她使你口中吐出“哈里路亚”
Hallelujah...
哈里路亚
Baby i've been here before宝贝,我曾来过此处
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor我见过这间房间,也曾走过这方地板
I used to live alone before i knew you你知道我认识你之前早已习惯孤单
I've seen your flag on the marble arch然后,我看见你荣耀的旗帜
But love is not a victory march而爱并不是一场胜利的行进
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
爱如此凄凉,如同一曲心碎的“哈里路亚”
Hallelujah...哈里路亚
Well there was a time when you let me know有那么一刻你启示了我
What's really going on below接下来将会如何
But now you never show that to me do you但现在你已不再向我揭示,对吗?
But remember when i moved in you然而,记住,我在你的荣光中默默前行时
And the holy dove was moving too圣灵也在随我前行
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
而我们吐出的气息,句句都是“哈里路亚”
Hallelujah...
哈里路亚
Well, maybe there's a god above也许天上真的有神
But all i've ever learned from love但我曾从爱中学到
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you如何战胜那些企图灭绝你每一个人
It's not a cry that you hear at night那不是你在夜色中听到的哭泣
It's not somebody who's seen the light了不是有人突然看见光芒
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
爱是如此凄凉,如同一曲心碎的“哈里路亚”
Hallelujah...
哈里路亚
注:
1.BROKE YOU THRONE AND CUT YOUR HAIR,引自圣经中参孙的典故,以色列在被非力士人统治的时候,族中有个大力士,名叫参孙,上帝赐予他空手撕裂雄狮的神力,这使得非力士统治者颇为惧怕,但是,参孙有个弱点:上帝与其约定——不得剪发,如是,则神力尽失。参孙爱上了一位非力士族的姑娘,名叫达利拉。非力士统治者赐予达利拉许多钱财,命令她与参孙相好并套出他为何力大无穷的秘密。参孙在达利拉的三次诱惑下以编造的故事将其蒙混,但是最后参孙还是将自己的秘密告诉的达利拉。一日,达利拉趁安抚参孙熟睡于自己的膝上时,让人将参孙的头发剪掉了。参孙醒来,发现自己的头发被剪,神力也一并消失了。可怜的参孙在爱情的迷惑下,违背了与神定下的誓言,从一个英勇的大力士变成了一个人人欺辱的瞎子
2.第一段歌词中提到的David。David,大卫,牧羊人出身,但容貌俊美,英勇善战,能赋能歌,战胜巨人哥利亚,被上帝选为以色列的国王。在大卫当国王的时候,一日傍晚,在阳台闲逛时偶然发现一貌美女子正在沐浴(Hallelujah 歌词中的 You saw her bathing on the roof / Herbeauty and the moonlight overthrew you),娇媚性感的曲线加上柔和迷人的月光将大卫彻底吸引住。之后,大卫便派人四处打听此女子,想要知道她的芳名。原来,这个迷人的女子名叫Bethsheba(拔示巴),是大卫的一位部将Uriah(乌利亚)的妻子。大卫忍受不住占有拔示巴的欲望,终于让人将拔示巴接入宫中,与其同房。不久,拔示巴怀上了大卫的孩子,大卫恐慌万分,急忙召回远在前线的乌利亚,借口让其休整一下,意图让乌利亚回到家中与妻子同房以掩盖拔示巴肚中孩子的亲缘归属。但是,乌利亚是一位忠于职守为国尽忠的勇士,他对大卫说:“国家处于危机,我怎有心思回家与妻子相欢,溺于安享。”乌利亚要求大卫将自己重新派回到战场上。大卫此时便顺水推舟,并写成密信一封,让乌利亚携信到大将军约亚那里;信中大卫指示约亚将乌利亚派往最为危险的战场。于是,乌利亚就在大卫的密谋和意愿下战死沙场,而大卫则将拔示巴迎进自己的后宫,名正言顺的占有了拔示巴。然而,占有拔示巴的大卫并不快乐,他白天对着众人强颜欢笑,夜晚就成为自己罪过的奴隶,受尽折磨。大卫认识到自己的罪行,写下五十一篇忏悔书,歌与上帝,祈求宽恕。
