Ukulele Lady

Arlo Guthrie

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I saw the splendour of the moonlight On Hono-lu---lu Bay There’s something tender in the moonlight On Hono-lu---lu Bay And all the beaches are filled with peaches Who bring their ukes along And in the glimmer of the moonlight They love to sing this song [Chorus] If you like the ukulele lady Ukulele lady like-a-you If you like to linger where it’s shady Ukulele lady linger too If you kiss ukulele lady While you promise ever to be true And she sees another ukulele Lady foolin’ round with you [Bridge] Maybe she’ll sigh (an awful lot) Maybe she’ll cry (and maybe not) Maybe she’ll find somebody else By and by To sing when it’s cool and shady Where the tricky wicky wacky woo If you like the ukulele lady Ukulele lady like-a-you [Verse 2] She used to sing to me by moonlight On Hono-lu---lu Bay Fond memories cling to me by moonlight Although I’m far a---way Some day I’m going where the eyes are glowing And lips are made to kiss To see somebody in the moonlight And hear the song I miss [Chorus] If you like the ukulele lady Ukulele lady like-a-you If you like to linger where it’s shady Ukulele lady linger too If you kiss ukulele lady While you promise ever to be true And she sees another ukulele Lady foolin’ round with you [Bridge] Maybe she’ll sigh (an awful lot) Maybe she’ll cry (and maybe not) Maybe she’ll find somebody else By and by To sing when it’s cool and shady Where the tricky wicky wacky woo If you like the ukulele lady Ukulele lady like-a-you N.C. Ukulele lady like-a-you

Cette chanson évoque une ambiance romantique et nostalgique, se déroulant sur la magnifique baie de Hono-lulu, où la douceur de la lune crée une atmosphère particulière. Elle parle des souvenirs d'un amour passé, des moments partagés autour de l'ukulele, une instrument emblématique des îles. Le narrateur se remémore les temps heureux, les promesses d'amour et les incertitudes qui les accompagnent. Il évoque également le risque de rencontrer une nouvelle personne, tout en nourrissant le désir de retrouver cette connexion unique. L'ensemble dégage une tendresse qui rappelle que les souvenirs, bien que parfois douloureux, sont également empreints de beauté.
