She Is Always Seventeen

Harry Chapin

Transposer:

[Verse 1] She has no fear of failure She’s not bent with broken dreams For the future’s just beginning When you’re always seventeen It was nineteen sixty one when we went to Washington She put her arms around me and said Camelot’s begun We listened to his visions of how our land should be We gave him our hearts and minds to send across the sea [Verse 2] Nineteen sixty three white and black upon the land She brought me to the monuments and made us all join hands Scarcely six months later she held me through the night When we heard of what had happened in that brutal Dallas light [Chorus] Oh she is always seventeen She has a dream the she will lend us And a love that we can borrow There is so much joy inside her She will even share our sorrow She’s our past our present and our promise of tomorrow Oh truly she’s the only hope I’ve seen And she is always seventeen [Verse 3] It was nineteen sixty five and we were marching once more From the burning cities against the crazy war Memphis L.A. and Chicago we bled through sixty eight ’Till she took me up to Woodstock saying with love it’s not too late We started out the seventies living off the land She was sowing seeds in Denver trying to make me understand That mankind is woman and woman is man And until se free each other we can not free the land [Chorus] Oh she is always seventeen She has a dream the she will lend us And a love that we can borrow There is so much joy inside her She will even share our sorrow She’s our past our present and our promise of tomorrow Oh truly she’s the only hope I’ve seen And she is always seventeen [Verse 4] Nineteen seventy two I’m at the end of my rope But she was picketing the White House chanting the truth’s the only hope In nineteen seventy five when the crooked king was gone She was feeding starving children saying the dream must go on [Chorus] Oh she is always seventeen She has a dream the she will lend us And a love that we can borrow There is so much joy inside her She will even share our sorrow She’s our past our present and our promise of tomorrow Oh truly she’s the only hope I’ve seen And she is always seventeen [fade...]

La chanson évoque une femme pleine de vie et d'espoir, toujours jeune dans son esprit, malgré les épreuves qu'elle traverse et les événements marquants de l'histoire. Elle incarne une vision d'un avenir radieux, prête à partager ses rêves et son amour avec ceux qui l'entourent, tandis qu'elle soutient et console. En la suivant à travers les années, on voit à quel point elle s'engage pour la justice et l'humanité, affirmant que le changement est possible tant que nous n'oublions pas ceux qui souffrent. Le contexte de la chanson se situe dans les années 60 et 70, une période de bouleversements sociaux et politiques aux États-Unis, marquée par des luttes pour les droits civiques et la paix. Cette femme devient le symbole d'un espoir persistant, reflétant à la fois l'innocence et la détermination d'une génération cherchant un monde meilleur.
