The circle Is Small

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

It's all_        right for some_            but not all_ right for me_ When_ the one_ that I'm_    loving_ slips around_                             You think it's_ fine to do_            things I_ cannot see_ And you're doing it to me_     Baby can't_  you see-e__ that I_ know how_  how it is___                  I can see it in your eyes_ And feel it in the way_ you kiss_ my lips_ I can hear it in your voice_ Whenever_ we are_ talking_ like this_ I can see what you_ believe_ in_ When his name is mentioned_ and I_ die_ I can watch the way_ you walk_ The way_ you talk_  the way_ you close_  your eyes_ It's all_ right for some_          but not all_ right to be_ Where_ the one_ that I'm_ loving_ can't be found_              The city_ where we live_              might be quite_ large_ But the circle is small_ Why not_ tell us_ all_ and then all_ of us_  will know_         I can see it in your eyes_ And feel it in the way_ you kiss_ my lips_ I can hear it in your voice_ Whenever_ we are_ talking_ like this_ I can see what you_ believe_ in_ When his name is mentioned_ and I_ die_ I can watch the way_ you walk_ The way_ you talk_  the way_ you close_  your eyes_ It's all_ right to leave_    but not all_ right to lie_ When_ you come_ home_ and you can't say_ where you've been_              You think_ it's fine_ to do_          things I_ cannot_ see_ And you're_ doing it_ to me_ baby can't_  you see__ that I know how it is___          I can see it in your eyes_ And feel it in the way_ you kiss_ my lips_ I can hear it in your voice_ Whenever_ we are_ talking_ like this_ I can see what you_ believe_ in_ When his name is mentioned_ and I_ die_ I can watch the way_ you walk_ The way_ you talk_  the way_ you close_  your eyes_

Cette chanson parle des tourments d'une relation marquée par la tromperie et le manque de confiance. Le narrateur ressent une douleur intense en réalisant que la personne qu'il aime semble lui cacher des choses et qu'elle vit une double vie. Il perçoit des indices dans ses gestes et son comportement, ce qui renforce son angoisse et sa tristesse. Elle évoque un univers restreint malgré l'immensité de la ville où ils vivent, soulignant que même dans un grand espace, les vérités et les mensonges peuvent se retrouver confinés. Ce contraste entre l'apparente taille du monde et l'intimité des relations humaines est poignant, et il souligne la solitude ressentie face à l'infidélité.
