Wind in the Willows

Blackmore's Night

Transposer:

Intro : | | |  :| As I went a walking One morning in spring I met with some travelers On an old country lane One was an old man The second a maid The third was a young boy who smiled as he said With the wind in the willows The birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie... We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine To share on our journey with all... of mankind.                                    So I asked them to tell me their names and their race So I could remember each smile on their face "Our names, they mean nothing...They change throughout time So come sit beside us and share in our wine" With the wind in the willows The birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie... We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine To share on our journey with all... of mankind.                                    So I sat down beside them With flowers all around We ate from a mantle Spread out on the ground They told me of prophets And peoples and kings And all of the one god that knows everything "We're traveling to Glaston Over England's green lanes To hear of men's troubles To hear of their pains We travel the wide world Over land and the sea To tell all the people How they can be free..." With the wind in the willows The birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie... We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine To share on our journey with all... of mankind.                                    So sadly I left them On that old country lane For I knew that I'd never see them again One was an old man The second a maid The third was a young boy who smiled as he said... With the wind in the willows The birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie... We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine To share on our journey with all of mankind. With the wind in the willows The birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie... We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine To share on our journey with all... of mankind.                        all of mankind

Dans cette chanson, un narrateur évoque une rencontre inattendue lors d'une promenade printanière. Il croise trois voyageurs : un vieil homme, une jeune fille et un garçon souriant. Ensemble, ils partagent un moment convivial, remplis de joie et de simplicité, autour de pain, de poissons et de vin. Leur discussion fait résonner des thèmes profonds sur l'humanité et la liberté, parlant de prophètes et de l’unité tout en voyageant vers des terres lointaines. Le contexte semble riche en symbolisme, évoquant des valeurs universelles telles que l'hospitalité et la communion entre les êtres. La chanson nous amène à réfléchir sur nos parcours et nos liens avec les autres, tout en célébrant la beauté de la nature et la chaleur des rencontres humaines.
