I have a page with the English translation (which of course doesn't fit the music): Hallelujah in Yiddish by Daniel Kahn. The chord is reduced to "One sings it like this: a Fa, a Sol" (which are a 4th and a 5th from Do). | |

| Dec 15, 2022 at 15:35 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Where are you finding these 'four versions'? I know of four 'famous' versions of this. Cohen recorded it twice, with different lyrics, then Jeff Buckley, then Alexandra Burke. Three of the four versions use the same first verse, which contains that lyric.
