The Marriage

Billy Bragg

Transposer:

Intro: > Verse: 1 I understand you needing And wanting is no crime But I can’t help feeling That you and your mother are just wasting your time Choosing Saturdays in Summer I dare you to wear white Love is just a moment of giving And marriage is when we admit our parents were right Verse: 2 I just don’t understand it What makes our love a sin How can it make that difference If you and I are wearing that bloody bloody ring If I share my bed with you Must I also share my life Love is just a moment of giving And marriage is when we admit our parents were right Verse: 3 You just don’t understand it This tender trap we’re in Those glossy catalogs of couples Are cashing in on happiness again and again So drag me to the altar And I’ll make my sacrifice Love is just a moment of giving And marriage is when we admit our parents were right And marriage is when we admit our parents were right And marriage is when we admit our parents were probably right

Cette chanson aborde le thème complexe de l'amour et du mariage, en posant des questions sur les attentes et les conventions sociales qui entourent ces notions. Le narrateur exprime une certaine désillusion face à l'idée que l'amour véritable devrait se conformer aux normes romantiques et aux traditions familiales. Il soulève des doutes quant à la nécessité d'un engagement formel, suggérant que l'amour authentique ne se limite pas à un contrat ou à une cérémonie. Le contexte de cette réflexion peut évoquer la tension entre le désir personnel et les attentes familiales, ainsi que la pression sociale qui pèse sur les couples pour se marier. Cela soulève des interrogations sur la nature du véritable engagement, incitant à penser que le mariage peut parfois être perçu comme un compromis plutôt qu'une célébration de l'amour.
