Everything Happens To Me

Billie Holiday

Transposer:

Introdução Verse Black cats creep across my path until I’m almost mad I must have roused the devil’s wrath ’Cause all my luck is bad Melody I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains I guess I’ll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains Everything happens to me. I never miss a thing I’ve had the measles and the mumps And everytime I play an ace my partner always trumps I guess I’m just a fool who never looks before he jumps Everything happens to me At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me That love would turn the trick to end despair But now I just can’t fool this head that thinks for me I’ve mortgaged all my castles in the air I’ve telegraphed and phoned and sent an airmail special too Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you Ev’rything happens to me Ev’rything happens to me.

La chanson évoque un sentiment de malchance constante, où le narrateur semble attirer les événements négatifs. Qu'il s'agisse de rater un rendez-vous à cause de la pluie ou de connaître des désagréments dans ses relations, tout semble lui jouer des tours. L'amour, qui aurait pu être une échappatoire à cette misère, s'avère également décevant, laissant une profonde désillusion. Au-delà de cette narration personnelle, l'œuvre reflète une lutte universelle contre le destin et les épreuves de la vie, où chacun peut s'identifier à ce sentiment d'infortune et d'accumulation de déceptions. C'est une exploration des défis que l'on doit affronter, tout en cherchant désespérément un changement dans sa situation.
