Mandalay

Electric Light Orchestra

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I trace the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues That wind their way down to the sea I see the birds that fly beneath the darkened sky They are the messengers of dreams [Chorus] Mandalay now I know what you try to be Mandalay now I wish you were here with me [Post-Chorus] Pages filled with science fiction Without fear of contradiction [Verse 2] Walking through the fields of evergreen I see a turn and walk away And from the east there comes a breeze That flows up high into the blue [Chorus] Mandalay now I know what you try to be Mandalay now I wish you were here with me [Post-Chorus] The sound of retribution In total disillusion Mandalay [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Mandalay now I know what you try to be Mandalay now I wish you were here with me [Post-Chorus] Amidst the confusion The only conclusion [Verse 3] Mandalay of the misty eyes Have gazed into the coming door The leaves that turn to gold and brown I’ve watched them falling to the ground [Chorus] Mandalay now I know what you try to be Mandalay now I wish you were here with me [Instrumental Outro]

Cette chanson évoque un voyage à travers des paysages vibrants et des souvenirs empreints de mélancolie. L'artiste déambule dans des avenues colorées, observant les oiseaux qui portent des rêves, tout en exprimant le désir de retrouver un endroit cher, appelé Mandalay. Les images de la nature et des émotions se mêlent, créant un univers où l’on ressent à la fois la beauté et la nostalgie des choses passées. Le ton est empreint d'une introspection qui révèle des désirs profonds, et l'artiste semble chercher un sens, une connexion avec quelque chose de plus grand. Les références à un vent frais et aux changements de la nature apportent une dimension contemplative, évoquant un désir de paix et d’appartenance dans un monde souvent troublé.
