To Daddy

Emmylou Harris

Transposer:

To Daddy-Emmylou Harris (written by Dolly Parton) CAPO 2 Mama never seemed To miss the finer things of life If she did she never did say so to daddy She never wanted to be more Than mother and a wife If she did she never did say so to daddy The only thing that seemed To be important in her life Was to make our house a home and make us happy Mama never wanted Any more that what she had If she did she never did say so to daddy He often left her all alone She didn’t mind the staying home If she did she never did say so to daddy And she never missed the flowers And the cards he never sent her If she did she never did say so to daddy Being took for granted Was a thing that she accepted And she didn’t need those things to make her happy And she didn’t seem to notice That he didn’t kiss and hold her If she did she never did say so to daddy One morning we awoke Just to find a note That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy And as we began to read it Our ears could not believe it The words that she had written there to daddy She said the kids are older now They don’t need me very much And I’ve gone in search for love I need so badly I have needed you so long But I just can’t keep holding on She never meant to come back home If she did she never did say so to daddy Goodbye to daddy

La chanson évoque la vie d'une femme dévouée, qui se contente de son rôle de mère et d'épouse sans jamais exprimer ses désirs ou ses manques. Sa satisfaction semble provenir du bonheur de sa famille, même si cela l'amène à accepter une certaine solitude et des manques émotionnels, notamment l'absence d'affection de la part de son mari. Au fil du temps, ses enfants grandissent et, réalisant qu'elle a besoin d'amour, elle décide d'écrire à son mari pour lui faire part de son départ, marquant ainsi un tournant dans sa vie. Le contexte de cette chanson se situe dans une réflexion sur les sacrifices féminins, souvent invisibles, et sur le besoin fondamental d'amour et de reconnaissance, qui peut parfois ne pas être exprimé jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop tard. C’est une exploration des relations familiales et des attentes qui les entourent, ainsi qu’un cri du cœur pour celles qui se sentent isolées dans leur dévouement.
