Fifty Percent

Barbra Streisand

Transposer:

[Intro] / / Fm7b5/ (Barbra:) Hello? (James:)Hi (Barbra:) Hi. You’re not gonna have to wait for me this time I’m all packed (James:) Honey I can’t go (Barbra:)What what happened? (James:)I forgot that I promised the kids I would take them to their game. They want their mom to go too (Barbra:)Oh of course I understand It’s their mother and you can’t disappoint your kids (James:)We’ll go next weekend (Barbra:) Okay great (James:)Next weekend for sure I promise you (Barbra:)Next weekend for sure (James:)Do you still love me? (Barbra:)Of course I still love you (James:)Oh I miss you (Barbra:)I miss you too (James:)I’ll try and call you (Barbra:)Okay. Bye honey (James:) Bye [Verse 1] I don’t iron his shirts I don’t open his mail I don’t know all the jokes he tells Or the songs he hums Though I may hold you all through the night He may not be here when the morning comes [Verse 2] I don’t pick out his ties I don’t butter his toast But I feel when he’s in my arms He’s where he wants to be We have no memories Bittersweet with time And I doubt if he’ll spend New Year’s Eve with me [Verse 3] I don’t share his name I don’t wear his ring There’s no piece of paper saying that he’s mine But he says he loves me and I believe it’s true Doesn’t that make someone belong to you [Verse 4] So I don’t share his name So I don’t wear his ring There is no piece of paper saying that he’s mine But we both have the memories I have enough memories I’ve washed enough mornings I’ve dried enough evenings I’ve had enough birthdays to know what I want [Verse 5] Like there’s anyone’s guess It’s a constant surprise Though you don’t plan to fall in love When you fall you fall And I’d rather have fifty percent of him Or any percent of him Than all of anybody else at all

Cette chanson évoque la complexité des relations amoureuses où l'on peut ne pas posséder tous les attributs d'un couple traditionnel. La narratrice n'est pas la partenaire officielle de l'homme qu'elle aime, mais elle éprouve un lien profond et sincère avec lui. Elle ne partage pas son nom ni son statut, et pourtant, elle ressent qu'elle lui appartient d'une certaine façon grâce aux moments qu'ils partagent. Le contexte de la chanson semble illustrer le fait qu'il y a différentes manières d'aimer. Même sans les conventions habituelles, comme un mariage ou des souvenirs partagés, elle choisit d'apprécier les instants qu'ils vivent ensemble. Cela met en avant l'idée que l'amour peut être éprouvé, même dans des situations qui dérogent aux normes établies. En fin de compte, elle préfère avoir une partie de lui que la totalité de quelqu'un d'autre, soulignant la valeur de leur connexion unique.
