Laughing Apple

Cat Stevens

Transposer:

Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree an apple tree Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree And the man who owned it wanted it to be picked And so he sent forth to hire me Well I've traveled the mountains And I've traveled the sea But a never in my traveling days Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me Laugh oh laugh a little apple Autumn is waiting you'd better be careful For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh oh laugh a little apple Well all the apples were hiding Frightened that they might be plucked And every time that somebody passed All except that one little apple ducked Well I've traveled the mountains And I've traveled the sea But a never in my traveling days Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me Laugh oh laugh a little apple Autumn is waiting you'd better be careful For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh oh laugh a little apple Laugh oh laugh a little apple Autumn is waiting you'd better be careful For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh oh laugh a little apple

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’un petit pommier vivant dans un jardin estival, qui attend d'être cueilli. Son propriétaire souhaite qu'il soit récolté, mais les pommes, craignant d'être prises, se cachent. Parmi elles, une petite pomme reste visible, qu’on encourage à sourire et à ne pas se laisser abattre, surtout avec l'automne qui approche. Ce message nous rappelle l'importance de rester joyeux et de faire face aux défis avec un esprit positif. Le cadre est une belle journée d'été, où la nature est à son apogée. La chanson joue sur l'idée de la peur et de l'insécurité, tout en soulignant la nécessité de garder une attitude optimiste, même face à l'incertitude.
