Arisa, cover di Hallelujah di Leonard Cohen al Concerto di Natale di Assisi 25 Dicembre 2013: video e testo
La cantante lucana reinterpreta il classico di Leonard Cohen al tradizionale concerto di Natale nella cittadina umbra.
La corsa verso Sanremo 2014, dove parteciperà tra i Big con i brani Controvento e Lentamente, è già cominciata ed Arisa è già in fase riscaldamento delle corde vocali: la cantante di origine lucana, infatti, ha presenziato al tradizionale Concerto di Natale che si è tenuto nella cittadina umbra di Assisi oggi, 25 Dicembre 2013, presentando una delicata ed elegante cover del classico di Leonard Cohen Hallelujah, riportato in auge quasi vent’anni fa da Jeff Buckley e da allora reinterpretato da moltissimi cantanti.
Arisa Concerto di Natale in Assisi XXVIII… di FreakIrishSister
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
