What is the meaning of the lyrics of 'Alleluia' sung by Alexandra Burke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I will try to explain the words of 'Alleluia', sung by Alexandra Burke. The first verse is about how King David wrote music to the word "Alleluia" or "Hallelu-jah". (It has several spellings). King David was the first King of the Jewish people and he was a renowned musician. His story is in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible as well as in the Koran, and in the Jewish scriptures. The first verse describes how the chords were composed by David, moving from one chord to another e.g. "Major lift" and what power the music gave to the words Alleliu-yah Allelu-jah (or-yah for the Lord or God) means Praise the Lord. Also it is an expression of joy. The song goes on to describe how David went up to the roof of his palace one lovely moonlit evening, and saw Bathsheba bathing on her roof. Bathsheba was the wife of someone else, but David was tempted by her beauty, and with her, committed adultery (therefore breaking one of God's commandments). Despite all that God had given, including the throne and rulership over the Israelites and all their land and people and great riches, David fell into temptation. So he was ruined by symbolically being tied to a kitchen chair (very humble in comparison to a throne) and having his hair cut symbolising that this breaking of the commandment had also taken his power and strength (eg. the story of Samson and Delilah.) This was not all he did. Bathsheba's husband was Uriah the Hitite a prominent soldier and Uriah would not have relations with his wife, as it was the custom to be celibate when going to battle. David hoped that if Uriah slept with his wife, it would cover up the pregnancy. Uriah however was sent into battle, and King David deliberately put him in the front line of the battle to be killed. David knew that what he had done was wrong, but he had not acknowledged this until after Bathsheba became pregnant, when the truth could not be hidden any more. He was guilty now, of adultery and murder. David however, married Bathsheba, but the baby became ill and died, despite the prayers of David, who mourned the death of the child. However, Bathsheba later gave birth to the famous successor of David, King Solomon. The singer of this song, is asking us not to call "Halleluia" blasphemous. that these words, Halleliu-yah, are not unholy. When David said "Halleliu-yah" when his crime and adultery was discovered. i.e. "Praise the Lord" it was felt to be a "broken" alleluia. An Alleluiah of contrition. Psalm 51 is said to be the composition David wrote when Nathan the Prophet castigated him for the crimes he had committed. Alexandra sings particularly at the ending of the song both the "broken" alleluia, (softly and with anguish) followed by the joyous alleluia. She acknowledges that alleluia can be sung at times of grief inner turmoil and as a recognition of one's own wrong doing, and at times of great happiness, joy and of nice surprises. It is healing and redemptive. The story of David and Bathsheba can be found in Samuel Chapters 11 and 12 of the Christian Old Testmament. The version sung by Alexandra is the 1st Cohen version. I am interpreting the song, rather than the biblical text.
