Day Before We Went To War

Dido

Transposer:

Intro: (x2) Verse: 1 All the pictures on the wall The sand lying on the floor The bed upstairs still unmade The dust float in the light The people just left All laughter and mess Forgetting this and that And rushing back Verse: 2 The front door open The music still playing in one room Down the hall And towels on the floor And then it’s quiet Just the bees and birds The summer haze Of the trees and the air Feeds it all feeds it all We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you The day before we went to war The day before we went to war We can all feel it Verse: 3 All the parasols and kids at play The sea so still and calm Blue as the cloudless sky Just the gentle hum Of the summer’s goings on Broken by the sudden rush Of two planes Flying low and fast Into the sun into the sun We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you The day before we went to war The day before we went to war We can all feel it Instrumental: x2 We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you We can all feel it Like a light hand on your back Welcoming you The day before we went to war The day before we went to war

La chanson évoque un moment de sérénité juste avant l'ombre du conflit, où l'on ressent encore la chaleur de l'été et des souvenirs heureux. Les images de l’enfance, des rires et d’un environnement paisible contrastent avec le bruit qui approche, symbolisé par le passage des avions. Ce contraste souligne la fragilité de la paix et la montée de l'imminente tempête de la guerre. C'est un rappel poignant de ce que cela signifie de vivre dans l'insouciance, juste avant que tout ne bascule.
