Carry Me

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Transposer:

When I was a young man, I found an old dream It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen      I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose      I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world Carry me, carry me, carry me                And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me        Her parents kept her locked, up in their lives And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free   Of course I mostly remember her laughing Standing there and watching us play    For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there And she was waiting to die   She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights I could surely fly   She's still smiling but she's tired She'd like to hear that last bell ring You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d’un homme qui retrace son parcours, entre rêves d’enfance et désirs d’évasion. Il se remémore sa jeunesse, où il a trouvé un rêve ancien, usé, qu’il a tenté de revivre en se créant des ailes pour s’élever au-dessus de tout. Ensuite, il parle d'une jeune fille qu'il aimait, captive dans sa vie par ses parents, et dont les rires faisaient écho à la mélodie de la liberté. Enfin, il se souvient de sa mère, alitée, qui espérait pouvoir se libérer de ses souffrances pour s'envoler à nouveau. Son souhait est simple : être portée au-dessus de ce monde pour connaître la liberté et la paix. Cette chanson s'inscrit dans un contexte où l'on réfléchit à la nostalgie, à l'amour et à la quête d'évasion, alternant entre souvenirs heureux et désirs inaccessibles.
