"Hallelujah is a Hebrew word which means "Glory to the Lord." The song explains that many kinds of Hallelujahs do exist. I say: "All the perfect and broken Hallelujahs have an equal value." It's, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion....It's a rather joyous song. I like very much the last verse. I remember singing' it to Bob Dylan after his last concert in Paris. The morning after, I was having coffee with him and we traded lyrics. Dylan especially liked this last verse; "'And even though it all went wrong, I stand before the Lord of song With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah'." — Leonard Cohen interview, Paroles et Musiques,1985. "They say there was a secret chord That David played, and pleased the Lord You don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lifts The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah You saw her bathing on the roof Your faith was strong but you needed proof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your faith, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well you say I took the name in vain I didn't even know the name And if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter what you heard The broken or the holy Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 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 Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah" Performed 8.July.1988 at Montréal's Forum de Montréal, Canada
