Pretty Paper

Chris Isaak

Transposer:

Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write "I love you" Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue Crowded streets busy feet hustle by him Downtown shoppers Christmas is nigh There he sits all alone on the sidewalk He's just hoping he won't pass him by Should I stop? Better not much too busy I'm in a hurry my how time does fly And in the distance the ringing of laughter And in the midst of the laughter he cries Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write "I love you" Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue

La chanson évoque un homme assis sur le trottoir, entouré par l'effervescence des préparatifs de Noël. Il vend de beaux papiers et rubans, espérant attirer l'attention de ceux qui passent, bien trop occupés à faire leurs courses. Malgré l'animation festive, il ressent une profonde solitude, tandis que les rires résonnent autour de lui. Il aspire à une connexion, une reconnaissance de sa présence, au milieu d'une ville qui ne semble pas le voir. C'est une réflexion sur l'amour, la solitude et la frénésie des fêtes.
