Brother John Words & Music by Chris de Burgh Intro: - - - - Well Brother John went down to the garden On a long hot summer’s day. To watch that girl he would hide in the shadows As she worked the time away. With her long black hair and her eyes of fire G F#sus4 - F# And a body to drive men crazy...! It was on that day there would be a change In the world of Brother John. She felt his and she walked up beside him And she took him by the hand. She said "Brother John it’s so hard to be holy Would you like to be a man? I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall-- If you’re there we will find out together" And the Devil said "There’s a place in Hell For the soul of Brother John!" Hallelujah! Temptation is here! It’s not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! It’s finally here... F#sus4 F# I’ve been waiting I’m waiting I’m waiting...! Well Brother John lay tossing and turning In his bed in the heat of the night. He heard his name and he went to the window Where she was in the pale moonlight. Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny! He was lost to her body forever! And the Devil laughed and the angels cried For the soul of Brother John. Hallelujah! Temptation is here! It’s not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! It’s finally here... I’ve been waiting I’m waiting I’m waiting...! Hallelujah! Temptation is here! It’s not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! It’s finally here... I’ve been waiting I’m waiting I’m waiting...! Temptation is here... for Brother John... Temptation is here... for Brother John.... Ne nos inducas in tentationem sed libera nos a malo

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme, Brother John, qui est attiré par une jeune femme qu'il observe dans un jardin. Leur rencontre, chargée de tension et de désir, le pousse face à une lutte intérieure entre ses aspirations spirituelles et ses pulsions humaines. Lorsqu'elle lui propose de se retrouver, il est à la fois envoûté et tourmenté par la tentation représentée par son charme. Ce moment charnel le perd, symbolisé par les rires du diable et les pleurs des anges, illustrant ainsi le conflit entre le péché et la sainteté. Le contexte de cette chanson évoque les dilemmes moraux et spirituels que l'on peut rencontrer dans la vie, illustrant la fragilité de l'âme humaine face aux séductions de ce monde. Elle aborde des thèmes universels comme la lutte entre le bien et le mal, la foi et les tentations, nous rappelant que l’amour et la passion peuvent parfois nous égarer.
