Could You Put Your Light On Please

Harry Chapin

Transposer:

She moved so well ’cause she was a dancer She went sliding through my questions Gliding ’round the answer Whatever it was she knew it was holy And each time I tried to hold her Her smile came sad and slowly She said "No one knows me." Could you put your light on please It’s kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through ’til morning If you could let your light shine down She had a dream I had my typewriter While I was hacking out such a heavy world She was weaving one much lighter But I’ll never know just how much it cost her And as I slept beside her Something turned and tossed her And it did till I lost her Could you put your light on please It’s kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through ’til morning If you could let your light shine down Bright times were brighter Than they’d ever been before I tell you Night times were lighter But they’ll never never be no more Could you put your light on please It’s kind of dark tonight And I feel a little lonely Yes I need a little light Could you put your light on please Let me hear a friendly sound I could make it through ’til morning If you could let your light shine down

Cette chanson exprime un désir profond de réconfort et de connexion dans des moments de solitude. Le protagoniste évoque une femme qui glisse à travers ses interrogations, portant en elle une sagesse que lui-même ne peut saisir totalement. Malgré la proximité physique, un sentiment d’éloignement persiste, renforcé par un appel à ce qu’on pourrait considérer comme une lumière symbolique, une source de chaleur et de présence. Le contexte semble être une réflexion sur la complexité des relations et la difficulté à comprendre l'autre, même lorsqu'on partage des rêves. Il évoque un mélange de nostalgie et de recherche de clarté dans une nuit sombre, renvoyant à nos propres quêtes d’acceptation et d’amour.
