This Ole House

Bette Midler

Transposer:

This ole house once knew my children this ole house once knew my wife This ole house was home and comfort as we fought the storms of life This old house once rang with laughter this old house heard many shouts Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightnin’ walks about Refrain Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer ain’t a-gonna need this house no more; Ain’t got time to fix the shingles ain’t got time to fix the floor Ain’t got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane; Ain’t gonna need this house no longer I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints This ole house is a-gettin’ shaky this ole house is a-gettin’ old; This ole house lets in the rain this ole house lets in the cold Oh my knees are a-gettin’ shaky but I feel no fear nor pain ’Cause I see an angel peekin’ through a broken windowpane Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer ain’t a-gonna need this house no more Ain’t got time to fix the shingles ain’t got time to fix the floor Ain’t got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane Ain’t gonna need this house no longer I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints This ole house is afraid of thunder this ole house is afraid of storms This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms This ole house is gettin’ feeble this old house is needin’ paint Just like me it’s tuckered out but I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer ain’t a-gonna need this house no more Ain’t got time to fix the shingles ain’t got time to fix the floor Ain’t got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane Ain’t gonna need this house no longer I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints My ol’ hound dog lies a-sleepin’--he don’t know I’m gonna leave Else he’d wake up by the fireplace and he’d sit there and howl and grieve But my huntin’ days are over; ain’t gonna hunt the coon no more Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer ain’t a-gonna need this house no more Ain’t got time to fix the shingles ain’t got time to fix the floor Ain’t got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane Ain’t gonna need this house no longer I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'une maison chargée de souvenirs, un lieu qui a abrité des rires, des pleurs et des moments précieux vécus en famille. Elle décrit comment, avec le temps, cette maison s'affaiblit et se dégrade, symbolisant le vieillissement et les épreuves de la vie. L'absence de besoin de réparations souligne une acceptation de la fin imminente et le passage à une nouvelle phase, en toute sérénité. Dans ce contexte, il s'agit d'une réflexion sur la mortalité et la nécessité de se préparer à l'au-delà, où l'artiste semble attendre avec espoir la rencontre avec les bienheureux. La chanson évoque ainsi un moment de transition, marquant la fin d'un chapitre tout en laissant entrevoir la promesse d'une renaissance spirituelle.
