I Wanna Learn A Love Song

Harry Chapin

Transposer:

[Verse 1] I come fresh from the street fast on my feet kinda lean and lazy Not much meat on my bones and a whole lot alone and more than a little bit crazy The old six string was all I had to keep my belly still And for each full hour lesson I gave I got a crisp ten dollar bill [Verse 2] You see she was married for seven years to a concrete castle king She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar and to hear her children sing So I’d show up about once a week in my faded tight legged jeans With a back log full of hobo stories and dilapidated dreams [Chorus] She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things." She said "I wanna learn a love song; won’t you let me hear you sing?" She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play." She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away." [Verse 3] So I tried to teach her a couple of chords And an easy melody But it always turned out she’d rather listen to my guitar and me I could hear her old man laughing in the den playing stud poker with the boys While I sang so soft in the living room too scared to make much noise [Verse 4] I came one week the den was dark and she met me at the door And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked till i could not sing no more The silence kept in building her eyes grew much too wide And I could hear both of our heart beats but there was no place to hide [Chorus] She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things." She said "I wanna learn a love song; won’t you let me hear you sing?" She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play." She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away." [Verse 5] I guess you know what happened God I never been so clean I feel like i’m workin in a Hollywood movie or living out a good bad dream And all them pin up girls in that tinsle world never touched me like she can It took another mans wife in the real world life to make this boy a man [Chorus] She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things." She said "I wanna learn a love song; won’t you let me hear you sing?" She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play." She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away." [CLOSURE] I guess you know I stayed...

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui, tout en donnant des cours de guitare, développe une connexion particulière avec une femme mariée. Elle rêve d'apprendre à jouer des mélodies d'amour, échappant à sa vie monotone aux côtés de son mari. À travers leurs rencontres, le protagoniste découvre des émotions intenses et une vulnérabilité qui le transforment. Les moments partagés entre la musique et les échanges créent une atmosphère intime, révélant le désir de cette femme de vivre des instants heureux et authentiques. Le contexte montre un tableau poignant de la recherche d'amour et de liberté, illustrant comment la musique peut servir de moyen d'évasion et de partage d’émotions profondes, même lorsqu'il semble difficile de trouver sa place dans le monde.
