Lebanese Night

Chris de Burgh

Transposer:

Verse 1 It was late in a Lebanese restaurant in the heat of a Lebanese night There was dancing people were singing she came in from the garden outside And in her eyes I saw the stars   And I felt something happen in my heart; Verse 2 Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night And the girl inside the woman who came over to sit by my side And when she smiled the whole world stopped It was then I heard the echoes of a child; And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby   And the sound of the guns in the night   And did you dance in the fields did you run for your life From the hell that came down from the sky?   On a Lebanese night on a Lebanese night; Verse 3 We went down to the edge of the water by the light of a Lebanese dawn And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war Her tears fell down the sun came up   And I saw again the young girl in her eyes; And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby   And the sound of the guns in the night   And did you dance in the fields did you run for your life From the hell that came down from the sky?   On a Lebanese night on a Lebanese night; Bridge All of my life all I have known   only a place where peace cannot go; All over the world the gift from before   nothing is left for the children of war; Chorus

La chanson évoque une rencontre magique dans un restaurant libanais, où l'amour et la beauté naissent sous le ciel étoilé d'une nuit chaude. Les yeux de la femme qui entre illuminent le cœur de l’artiste, lui rappelant une enfance innocente et joyeuse. Cependant, cette douceur est entrecoupée par les souvenirs douloureux de la guerre qui ravage son pays. Les paroles évoquent des contrastes puissants entre le charme de la vie quotidienne et les horreurs du conflit, tout en soulignant l'aspiration universelle à la paix, particulièrement cruciale pour les enfants. Au fil des strophes, on ressent l’émotion d'une terre marquée par la violence, mais aussi la beauté d’une histoire à raconter.
