What a beautiful interpretation. Bravo!
If she may, Bambi would like to dedicate this Watari-produced masterpiece of a song to her friends in Canada and abroad. Some are now telling themselves “Hallelujah” because God protected their child today. With them in solidarity, Bambi and her spouse are also saying “Thank Goodness” ❤️. Other good friends are going through delicate times of sorrow or coping. Bambi’s heart goes to them too across the miles.

Lyrics | كلمات
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 ya?
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hmm
في ليلة من الليال
لست أدري ما اعتراني
ظلمة تغمرني يا رب
الأرض ضاقت والسماء
و قلبي ما عرف الضياء
والدمع بات يبكي يا إلهي
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well 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 ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the Light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah”
