¡Hallelujah!... y sus significados...

"La palabra aleluya, (←halaluiah(latín)← הַלְּלוּיָהּ [Halləluya, Halləlûyāh](hebreo), «¡Alaben a Dios! ¡Gloria al Señor!» )? es una exclamación de júbilo originaria del judaísmo muy común en esta religión y también en el cristianismo que la adoptó para su uso litúrgico. Para la mayoría de los cristianos, esta es la palabra más alegre para alabar al Señor. Aleluya: adaptación de la expresión hebrea hallet-lu-Yáh, que significa “alaben [ustedes] a Yah” o “alabad a Yah”. "Hallel"expresa a su vez no solo alabanza a, sino "loor a", término que solo aplica a personas de altísima dignidad y en su sentido mas estricto solamente a Dios. Es una expresión que establece que solo a El pertenece el loor. Los hombres pueden expresarse alabanza entre si mismos, pero loor solo aplica a Dios por lo que "aleluya" en su sentido mas profundo traduce: "loor al único que existe en si mismo (Yah)/ Yah: abreviación poética del nombre divino, Yahveh. Éste nombre aparece más de siete mil veces en la Biblia, a menudo formando parte de la expresión aleluya (...)" WIKIPEDIA


"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

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 you
She tied you to her 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
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But 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 you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Well, 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ..."
