Aleluya

Siguiendo con el tema olímpico invernal, otra de los famosos que cantaron en la apertura de los juegos en Vancouver fue k. d. lang, que apareció en escena después que la 27ª Gobernadora General del Canadá, Michaëlle Jean, quien es haitiana de nacimiento; diera su discurso de inauguración tanto en francés como en inglés, escoltada por las personalidades del COI y representantes de los cuatro grupos étnicos que conforman a la Primera Nación canadiense.


k. d. lang, es la mejor exponente de la música country en su país, por lo tanto no la hubieran dejado afuera de este gran espectáculo.


Hoy domingo, más vale oír algo que nos lleve a la reflexión con el Aleluya que cantó.


Saludos.


Ivo Cizaña.

Cantante: k. d. lang

Álbum: Hymns of the 49th Parallel

(Canadá – 2004)

Canción: Hallelujah

Compositor: Leonard Cohen


Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah


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 a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah


You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken 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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah
