The Soweto Gospel Choir - Hallelujah Lyrics

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played to please the Lord
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

Morena re ya o boka
O re baballa ka mehla
Sicula amahosana njalo
Kuwe baba sithi haleluya

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
Simakade
Uphakeme
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Bayede somadla
Siyakubabaza
Ngoba wen'uphakeme

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

(Hallelujah) Umkhulu simakade

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
(Hallelujah) Wen'uphakeme
Hallelujah
