圣誕節(jié)經(jīng)典英文歌曲:Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
這首歌是民謠詩人Leonard Cohen在1984年寫的,被認(rèn)為是流行音樂最美的旋律之一。多義的歌詞,既有宗教的隱喻,又滲透著有關(guān)性的想象。情感低沉憂郁,緩慢的調(diào)子似無望的人在向上帝祈求。Hallelujah先后被Bob Dyaln, John Cash等民謠大師及U2樂隊里的Bono翻唱過。而被公認(rèn)最佳最震撼的翻唱是Jeff Buckley,收錄在他1994年的處女專輯Grace中,這首歌使Jeff瞬時在美國音樂界聲名鵲起。Rufus Wainwright在2001年《怪物史萊克》Shrek里的翻唱了Jeff的版本,他模仿了Jeff的風(fēng)格,不同的是Jeff的配樂只有一把低回如泣的吉他,而后者則配以鋼琴,更為流行一些。但從歌曲的情緒感染力角度來說,無疑,Jeff的版本更凄婉動人。

Song:Hallelujah
I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
我聽見了那神秘悠揚(yáng)的旋律
那是以色列王(David)為取悅上帝而奏
但也許你并不在意旋律本身,不是嗎?
音樂卻是這樣起來的
第4,第5,小調(diào)落下,大調(diào)升起
飽受煎熬的國王寫下了贊美之歌-哈利路亞
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
哈利路亞,哈利路亞,哈利路亞
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
But from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
你信念堅定卻也要受到考驗
你在屋頂上看到她在那里沐浴
她的美貌在月光下就已經(jīng)把你征服
她會把你騙到坐上廚房里的椅子上
推翻你的寶座,并剪下你的發(fā)絲
為了聽到你的唇邊的贊美之歌-哈利路亞
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
哈利路亞,哈利路亞,哈利路亞
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
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
親愛的,告訴你,之前我來過這里
看到過這個房子,并走在地板上...
認(rèn)識你之前,我習(xí)慣了獨(dú)自生活
我也看到過,你在大理石拱門上留下的標(biāo)志
愛 對我來說并不是勝利的進(jìn)行曲
而是一曲冷酷和破滅的哈利路亞之歌
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
哈利路亞,哈利路亞,哈利路亞
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
以前,你會讓我明白
逝去的真正意味著什么
而現(xiàn)在,你卻從不會那樣告訴我了,對嗎?
記得,每次我漸漸靠近你的時候
圣潔的鴿子也一樣慢慢地靠近你
我們每次的呼吸都是對上帝的贊美之聲-哈利路亞
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
哈利路亞 哈利路亞
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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
也許真的有天主在上
而我曾學(xué)會的愛
卻是 如何去傷害那個被我看中的人
你根本聽不到夜晚的哭泣聲
也沒有人能看到夜里的光明
只有冷酷和毀滅的哈利路亞之歌
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
哈利路亞....
