Au nom du rythme,et du chant
Je crie House'llelujah, House'llelujah!
Bénie soit la musique et House'llelujah, House'llelujah!

House'llelujah

J'ai prié dieu pendant des heures
On m'a dit qu'il était trop vieux pour tout nos pleurs
Qu'il est trop riche pour écouté nos pauvres cœurs
Qu'il est trop pris,qu'il est femme,qu'il est homme
Qu'il est hétéro,qu'il est gay
Qu'il est chanteur,qu'il est DJ
Qu'il est mort et qu'il est né
Qu'il est même musulman ou juif
Qu'il est bouddhiste et athée

Au nom du rythme et des gens
Je crie House'llelujah, House'llelujah!
Bénie soit la musique et House'llelujah, House'llelujah!

House'llelujah
C'est ce que je prie durant la nuit
House'llelujah
Lorsque j'élève mes mains au ciel
House'llelujah
Lorsque je saute et que je crie
House'llelujah
C'est l'éternel qui me le dit!
House'llelujah

J'entends des voix
Des voix de gens que je ne vois
Si toi aussi tu les perçoit
C'est que tu avais perdu la foi!
C'est ce que je prie durant la nuit
Lorsque j'élève mes mains au ciel
Lorsque je saute et que je crie
C'est l'éternel qui me le dit!

House'llelujah
C'est ce que je prie durant la nuit
House'llelujah
Lorsque j'élève mes mains au ciel
House'llelujah
Lorsque je saute et que je crie
House'llelujah
C'est l'éternel qui me le dit!
House'llelujah
