Кузнецов Виктор. Моросит

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

В прозрачном небе звучал хорал:
Давид играл, Господь внимал,
И оба улыбались торжествуя.
читать дальшеВсе было так - услышь, очнись!
Два такта вниз и снова ввысь,
Блаженный царь слагает – Аллилуйя

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in 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

Кто в вере тверд, наград не ждет,
Но вышла дева из пенных вод.
И через миг, сомлев от поцелуя,
Ты свергнут в мелкий мир обид,
Твой дом разбит, твой лоб обрит -
И с губ твоих сорвалось – Аллилуйя

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

Давно мне тот сюжет знаком:
Сухим от страсти языком,
Как прежде, о любви тебя молю я.
Мой щит все также на вратах,
Но замок обратился в прах.
Разбито все, погибло – Аллилуйя

There was a time when 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

Но там Он есть над нами Бог.
И вдруг его зовут Любовь.
Тогда имен не поминая всуе,
Прижмемся бережно к плоти – плоть,
Чтоб души наши грел Господь,
Чтоб каждый вздох звучал как – Аллилуйя

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken 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

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
