这首歌其实并非Jeff Buckley原创，而是翻唱自Leonard Cohen在1985年录制的一首歌。曾先后被Bob Dyaln、John Cash等民谣大师及U2乐队里的Bono翻唱过。但公认最好的翻唱版本还是Jeff Buckley的这版！他的演绎看似波澜不惊，实则暗流涌动，直达内心。让人不知不觉就被这忧郁的旋律所打动。 尤其是最后的假音着实刺痛人心，听着他一遍遍低吟着Hallelujah，仿佛你的心也要被他的声音带走了。可惜这样一位音乐奇才却在出完首张专辑后就溺水身亡。才30岁就早早离开了这个世界，实在令人扼腕叹息。

歌词

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
我曾听闻那隐秘的弦音

That David played and it pleased the Lord
大卫弹奏它来取悦上帝

But you don't really care for music, do you?
但你并不真的在意音乐，是吗？

Well it goes like this:
它是这样弹着：

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
第四，第五，小调落下，大调升起

The baffled king composing Hallelujah
困惑的国王谱下了这首赞美之曲

Hallelujah…
哈利路亚……

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
你信念坚强但仍需考验

You saw her bathing on the roof
你信念坚强但仍需考验

You saw her bathing on the roof
你看到她在屋顶沐浴

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
她的美与那月光令你神魂荡漾

She tied you to her kitchen chair
她把你绑在厨椅之上

And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
打碎你的皇座剪去你的长发

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
从你的唇间她汲取出这首赞美之曲

Hallelujah…
哈利路亚……

But baby I've been here before
宝贝啊我曾涉足这里

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
我曾看过这间房子行走在这地板上

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
你知道我在认识你之前已习惯了独自生活

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
我看到你的旗帜飘扬在大理石拱门之上

And love is not a victory march
我想爱不是一支胜利的进行曲

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
它是一首冰冷破碎的赞美之曲

Hallelujah…
哈利路亚……

Well there was a time when you let me know
有那么一段时光你让我明白

What's really going on below
眼下在发生些什么

But now you never show that to me do ya
但现在你再不会展示予我了对吗？

But remember when I moved in you
记得当我缓缓移向你的身躯

And the holy dove was moving too
那圣洁的白鸽也与我同步

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
而我们吐出的每次呼吸都是赞美之曲

Hallelujah…
哈利路亚……

Maybe there's a God above
或许真有天神在上

But all I've ever learned from love
但我从爱中学来的

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
却只是如何击败那个与你对决的人

And it's not a cry that you hear at night
那不是你夜晚所见的哭喊

It's not somebody who's seen the light
也不是哪个曾蒙圣光的游人

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
那是冰冷的破碎的哈利路亚

Hallelujah…
哈利路亚……
