My Boy

Elvis Presley

Transposer:

You're sleeping son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late why your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy I know it's hard to understand Why did we ever start ? We're more like strangers now Each acting out a part I have laughed, I have cried I have lost every game Taken all I can take But I'll stay here just the same Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Sleep on, you haven't heard a word Perhaps it's just as well Why spoil your little dreams Why put you through the hell Life is no fairytale As one day you will know But now you're just a child I'll stay here and watch you grow Because you're all I have, my boy You are my life, my pride, my joy And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (Ad libitum)

Dans cette chanson, un père s'adresse à son fils endormi pour expliquer la situation difficile dans laquelle il se trouve. Il confie que, malgré la fin de l'amour entre lui et la mère de l'enfant, sa motivation à rester est son fils. Le père ressent une immense tristesse face à l'effritement de son foyer, mais il veut protéger son enfant des réalités douloureuses de la vie, en gardant l'espoir pour lui. Le contexte semble être celui d'une séparation ou d'un mariage en difficultés, où le père lutte contre la douleur et l'incompréhension tout en mettant son fils au centre de ses préoccupations. C'est une tentative de préserver les rêves et l'innocence de l'enfant, même si la vérité est bien plus complexe.
