Transposer:

written by: Bjorn Ulvaeus/Benny Anderson album: Waterloo(1974) [Verse 1] See me sitting in the palmtree Looking down at people passing by Sitting here no-one can harm me They just stare at me and wonder why No need to bother I’m gonna stay up here Whatever happens I won’t let no-one near Until you tell me jeanie jeanie on my mind won’t you please You really love me jeanie jeanie you’re so fine yes you are now And in the evening when the sun goes down I’ll be the bluest of men in this town ’cause I love you jeanie jeanie on my mind [Verse 2] See me sitting in the palmtree Waiting for those little words from you People laugh and point their fingers Like I was a monkey at the zoo But I will stay here among my coconuts So you will know dear you’re everything I’ve got Now won’t you tell me jeanie jeanie on my mind [Bridge] Winds blow stars glow I see a light in a window Dark trees soft breeze carry my message to her please [Verse 3] See me sitting in the palmtree Feeling angry at the silly crowd No-one else but you can calm me You should know by now I’m far too proud I need to show you I’ve got my feelings too You shouldn’t treat me like you always do So won’t you tell me jeanie jeanie on my mind won’t you please You really love me jeanie jeanie you’re so fine yes you are now And in the evening when the sun goes down I’ll be the bluest of men in this town ’cause I love you jeanie jeanie on my mind Jeanie jeanie you’re so fine Jeanie jeanie on my mind Jeanie jeanie you’re so fine Jeanie jeanie on my mind Jeanie jeanie you’re so fine

La chanson évoque un homme perché dans un palmier, observant les gens passer. Il se sent à l'abri des regards et des jugements, mais son cœur est occupé par une pensée constante : celle de Jeanie, une personne qui semble être sa source de bonheur et de réconfort. Malgré les rires et les moqueries des passants, il reste déterminé à attendre un signe d'affection de sa part, exprimant à quel point il tient à elle. Le contexte de la chanson se situe dans les années 70, une époque où les sentiments d'amour et de désespoir étaient souvent mis en avant dans la musique populaire. Elle reflète une certaine vulnérabilité, mélangée à un désir ardent d'être compris et aimé, ce qui résonne à travers les décennies.
