Greater Love

Chris de Burgh

Transposer:

Intro: Here he lies before me My friend for many years He saved me from the water Now I’m drowning in my tears Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel There can be no greater love He was there to guide me through the follies of my age Always there beside me everything forgave Held me as a father showing me the way There can be no greater love No fear did he have before the storm The fate of others was his only thought And though it was the way to certain darkness To save my life he gave his own For my life he gave his own And these words are writ in stone where he lies "Greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend" "Greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend" "Greater love hath no man than this That a man lay down his life for his friend."

Cette chanson évoque un profond chagrin suite à la perte d'un ami, un ami qui a sauvé le narrateur d'une situation périlleuse. Elle illustre le sacrifice ultime, celui de donner sa propre vie pour sauver un être cher, mettant en avant un amour incommensurable et désintéressé. Les paroles soulignent l'importance de la loyauté et de la présence d’un ami à travers les difficultés de la vie, rappelant que ce type de dévouement est rare et précieux. Le contexte de la chanson renvoie à des thèmes universels tels que l'amitié et le sacrifice, des valeurs que l'on retrouve souvent dans les écrits spirituels et les histoires de vie. Cela fait écho à la notion que l'amour véritable se manifeste dans l'altruisme et la volonté de risquer sa propre existence pour le bien de quelqu'un d'autre.
