Jesus The Mexican Boy

Iron & Wine

Transposer:

Jesus the Mexican boy Born in a truck on the fourth of July Gave me a card with a lady naked on the back Barefoot at night on the road Fireworks blooming above in the sky I never knew I was given the best one from the deck He never wanted nothing I remember Maybe a broken bottle if I had two Hanging behind his holy even temper Hiding the more unholy things I do Jesus the Mexican boy Gave me a ride on the back of his bike Out to the fair though I welched on a $5 bet Drunk on Calliope songs We met a home-wrecking carnival girl He’s never asked for a favor or the money yet Jesus the Mexican boy Born in a truck on the 4th of July I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly Fearing he wouldn’t approve We made a lie that was feeble at best Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly I never gave him nothing I remember Maybe a broken bottle if I had two Hanging behind his holy even temper Hiding the more unholy things I do Jesus the Mexican boy Wearing a long desert trip on his tie Lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign Naked the Judas in me Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high Kissing my head like a brother and never asking why

La chanson évoque la vie d'un jeune homme, né de manière inattendue, qui partage des moments simples mais significatifs avec un ami. À travers des souvenirs de leur enfance, on découvre une camaraderie authentique, marquée par des expériences lumineuses et parfois désordonnées. Le narrateur se remémore des instants de légèreté, de jeux et d'amour, tout en reconnaissant les défauts de sa propre vie. Dans ce récit, la figure de Jésus symbolise une présence bienveillante et un frère qui offre soutien sans jugement, même lorsque des choix douteux sont faits. Cela souligne une belle amitié teintée d'innocence et de confiance, même face aux errances et aux difficultés de la vie.
