Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I’ve heard there was a secret chord
– Ngizwile ukuthi kwakukhona i-chord eyimfihlo
That David played and it pleased the Lord
– Ukuthi Udavide wadlala futhi kwajabulisa Inkosi
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
– Kodwa awunandaba ngempela nomculo,akunjalo?
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
– Kuhamba kanjena: owesine, owesihlanu
The minor fall, the major lift
– Ukuwa okuncane, ukuphakanyiswa okukhulu
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
– Inkosi edidekile eqamba I Haleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hmm
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya, uhmm
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof
– Ukholo lwakho lwalunamandla, kodwa wawudinga ubufakazi
You saw her bathing on the roof
– Wambona egeza ophahleni
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
– Ubuhle bakhe ekukhanyeni kwenyanga bakugumbuqela
She tied you to the kitchen chair
– Wakubopha esihlalweni sasekhishini
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
– Waphula isihlalo sakho sobukhosi futhi wasika izinwele zakho
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
– Futhi ezindebeni zakho wadweba Ihaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Well baby, I’ve been here before
– Well baby, bengilokhu lapha ngaphambili
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
– Ngiye ngabona leli gumbi futhi ngiye ngahamba kuleli gumbi
I used to live alone before I knew ya
– Ngangihlala ngedwa ngaphambi kokuba ngikwazi
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
– Futhi ngiye ngabona ifulege lakho e-arch yemarble
And love is not a victory march
– Futhi uthando alulona uhambo lokunqoba
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Kubanda futhi Kuyi Hallelujah ephukile
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Well, maybe there’s a God above
– Mhlawumbe Kukhona Unkulunkulu ngaphezulu
But all I’ve ever learned from love
– Kodwa konke engake ngakufunda othandweni
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
– Kwakuyindlela yokudubula umuntu owayemkhulu kunawe
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
– Futhi akukhona ukukhala okuzwayo ebusuku
It’s not somebody who has seen the Light
– Akayena umuntu oye wabona Ukukhanya
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
– Kubanda futhi Kuyi Hallelujah ephukile
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
