How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

Emmylou Harris

Transposer:

How she could sing the Wildwood Flower The orphan girl he would love so long In the end he knew she’d been his finest hour And all he has left of her is a song He first saw her standing by a cabin door Her song was ringing out in a voice so strong and sure To the lonesome valley he’d bring her there to be his bride Where they would live and work together side by side She was his sunshine she was his moon and morning star His words would ring true on the chords of her guitar But he was driven and lost to her for days and days Till the lonesome valley finally drove her far away Repeat #1 We all cling to as the years keep rolling on One single promise of a love that’s past and gone And that lonesome valley we all walk it by ourselves Where the Wildwood Flower is a story we will tell Repeat #1 How she could sing the Wildwood Flower All we have left of her is a song

Cette chanson évoque l'histoire d'un jeune homme tombé amoureux d'une orpheline dont la voix résonne avec force et beauté. Bien qu'ils rêvent d'une vie ensemble, des circonstances les séparent, et il finit par ne garder d'elle qu'une mélodie, un souvenir d’un amour profond. En chemin, il se rend compte que sa vie est marquée par ce doux souvenir, illustré par l'image de la vallée solitaire qu'ils traversaient ensemble. Au fil des ans, il se concentre sur l'espoir et la promesse de cet amour perdu, et la chanson devient une manière de raconter leur histoire.
