    I've found these lyrics...I've tried to translate them, any correction is welcome!

    Oí hablar de una canción/ I heard about a song
    Del rey David para el Señor,/ by king david for the lord
    Pero a ti los salmos no te gustan/ but you don't like the psalms
    Hay tanta luz en su voz/ there's so much light in his voice
    Como el dolor mas atroz/ like the most atrocious grief
    En este roto y santo Aleluya/ in this broken and holy hallelujah
    Aleluya

    La luna llena le mostró/ the full moon showed him
    En todo su esplendor/ in all her splendor
    A Batseba, bañandose desnuda/ bathsheba, that was bathing naked
    Y a través de esa mujer/ and through this woman
    El rey David no supo ver/ king david could not see
    Todo en él era Aleluya/ everything in him was hallelujah
    Aleluya

    Bien sé que existe un Dios/ I know well that there is a god
    Pero lo que me enseñó el amor/ but what love has taught me
    Es a disparar a quien me apunta/ is to shoot those who point (or aim) at me
    No es ésto una canción triunfal/ this is not a triumphal song
    Ni el grito de un triste final/ nor the cry of a sad ending
    Sino un frío y solitario Aleluya/ but a cold and lonely hallelujah

    "-Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity..."
    "-Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

    I’ve heard talk of a song
    From King David to the Lord,
    But you don’t like psalms,
    There’s so much light in its voice,
    Like the most atrocious of pains
    in this broken and holy halleluja



    Aleluya, aleluya
    Aleluya, aleluya
    Halleluja, halleluja
    Halleluja, halleluja


    La luna llena le mostró
    En todo su esplendor
    A Batseba bañándose desnuda
    Y a través de esa mujer
    El rey David no supo ver
    Todo en él era aleluya
    The full moon showed him
    In all her splendor
    Batseba, while she bathed naked,
    And through that woman
    King David couldn’t see,
    All inside him was a hallelujah


    Aleluya, aleluya
    Aleluya, aleluya

    Bien sé que existe un Dios
    Pero lo que me ensenó el amor
    Es a disparar a quien me apunta
    No es esto una canción triunfal
    Ni el grito de un triste final
    Sino un frio y solitario aleluya
    I know well there exists a God
    But what love has taught me
    Is to shoot the one who points at me,
    This is not a triumphal song
    Nor the shout of a sad ending
    But a cold and lonely hallelujah


    Aleluya, aleluya
    Aleluya, aleluya

    Cool This was a Translation from the Original Leonard Cohen Song

    Now 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 you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The battle king composing Hallelujah


    Oí hablar de una canción
    Del Rey David para el Señor
    Pero a ti, los salmos no te gustan
    Hay tanta luz en su voz
    Como el dolor más atroz
    en este roto y santo aleluya</b>

    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you
    To a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    <b>
    La luna llena le mostró
    En todo su esplendor
    A Batseba bañándose desnuda
    Y a través de esa mujer
    El rey David no supo ver
    Todo en él era aleluya

    Maybe there’s a God above
    But all I’ve ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
    It’s not a cry you can hear at night
    It’s not somebody who has seen the light
    It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah


    Bien sé que existe un Dios
    Pero lo que me ensenó el amor
    Es a disparar a quien me apunta
    No es esto una canción triunfal
    Ni el grito de un triste final
    Sino un frio y solitario aleluya
