The Girl With April In Her Eyes

Chris de Burgh

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] There once was a king who called for the spring For his world was still covered with snow But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean In his winter fields nothing would grow And when a traveller called seeking help at the door Only food and a bed for a night He ordered his slave to turn her away The girl with April in her eyes [Chorus] Oh oh on and on she goes Through the winter’s night the wild wind and the snow Hi hi on and on she rides Someone help the girl with April in her eyes [Verse 2] She rode through the night till she came to the light Of a humble man’s home in the wood He brought her inside by the firelight she died And he buried her gently and good Oh the morning was bright all the world snow white But when he came to the place where she lay His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave Of the girl with April in her eyes [Chorus] Oh oh on and on she goes Through the winter’s night the wild wind and the snow Hi hi on and on she flies She is gone the girl with April in her eyes...

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une jeune fille dotée d'une beauté printanière, qui se retrouve malmenée par un roi cruel. Ce dernier, en froid avec la saison estivale, rejette cette voyageuse, qui recherche simplement un peu de réconfort. La mélancolie de son sort la pousse à poursuivre son chemin, défiant un vent hivernal glacial jusqu'à ce qu'elle trouve refuge chez un homme humble. Malheureusement, elle meurt dans la chaleur de son foyer, mais son passage transforme le paysage, car la terre où elle repose s'illumine de fleurs, rappelant la douceur et l'espoir qu'elle incarnait. Cette histoire évoque des thèmes de compassion, d'amour perdu et de la beauté qui peut émerger même des moments les plus sombres.
