Minstrel of the Dawn

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

The mins_-trel of_ the dawn_ is here_ To make_ you laugh_ and bend_ your ear__         Up_ the steps_ you'll hear_ him climb_ All full of thoughts_  all full of rhy_-mes_          Listen to_  the pictures flow_              _           _      _ cross the room_  into your mind_  they go_              _       _ Listen to__ the strings__ -in-ings_ They jan_-gle__ and dan_-gle__ While the old_ gui_ -tar_ rings__           The mins_-trel of_ the dawn_ is here_ Not_ too wise_ but oh_ so free__         He'll talk_ of life_ out on_ the street_ He'll play it sad_  and say it sweet_            Look into_  his shining face_  of loneliness_ You'll always find_  a tra__-ce_            Just like me and_  you__ -ou-ou_ He's trying to_  get into things_ More happy_  than blue__                    _            _ mins_-trel of_ the chan_-ging tide_             _              _       He'll ask_ for nothing_ but his_ pri_-de_ Just sit him_ down_ u-pon_ that chair_ Go fetch some wine_ and set it_ there_          Listen to_  the pictures flow_   And follow__ the fingers where_ they go_            Listen to_  the strings__ -in-ings_  They jan_-gle__ and dan_-gle__ While the old_ guitar_ rings__           A mins_-trel of_ the dawn_ is near_ Just like_ a "step and_fetchet"_ here_          He's like_ an old-time_ trou_-badour_ Just wanting_ life_ and nothing_ more_          Look into_ his shining eyes_ And if you_ see a ghost__ don't be surpri_-sed_          Like me and_ you__ -ou-ou_ He's trying to_  get into things_ More happy_  than blue__           A mins_-trel boy_ will un-der-stand_ He holds_ a pro_-mise in his_ hand_          He talks_ of better_ days ahead_ And by his word_ your fortune's_ read_          Listen to_  the pictures flow_ Across the room_  into your mind_  they go_             Listen to__  the strings__ -in-ings_  They jan_-gle__ and dan_-gle__ While the old_ gui_ -tar_ rings__           The mins_trel of_ the dawn_ is gone_ I hope he'll call_ be-fore too long_          And if you_ meet him_  you must be_ The victim of_ his minstrelsy_          He'll sing_ for you_ a_ song_                      The mins_-trel____                of_ the dawn____

La chanson évoque l'image d'un troubadour qui, en se présentant à l'aube, vient apporter joie et réconfort à ceux qui l'écoutent. Il partage ses pensées, ses émotions et ses réflexions sur la vie avec une approche à la fois mélancolique et douce. Ce minstrel, loin d'être sage, incarne la liberté et la quête d'une vie plus heureuse, tout en étant conscient de sa propre solitude. Son rôle est de faire voyager l'esprit des auditeurs à travers ses mélodies et d'éveiller des souvenirs ou des rêves enfouis. Au fil de la chanson, on découvre que, malgré ses luttes personnelles, il garde espoir et souhaite partager une vision optimiste et prometteuse de l'avenir. La simple présence de ce musicien rappelle à chacun d'entre nous l'importance de la musique et de l'humanité.
