Five Short Minutes

Jim Croce

Transposer:

Well she was standing by my dressing room After the show asking for my autograph and asked if she could go back to my motel room But the rest is just a tragic tale Because five short minutes of love Will cost me twenty long years in jail Well like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune Then I said ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale Because five short minutes of lovin' Done brought me twenty long years in jail Well then a judge and a jury sat me in a room They say that robbin' the cradle Is worse than robbin' the tomb Then I said ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale (wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it) Because five short minutes of love Will cost me twenty long years in jail When I get out of this prison gonna be forty five I'll know that I used to like to do it But I won't remember why I'll say ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale (wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it) Because five short minutes of love Will cost me twenty long years in jail Because five short minutes of love Will cost me twenty long years in jail

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui, après un concert, se laisse séduire par une jeune femme. Il lui offre de passer du temps ensemble dans sa chambre d'hôtel, mais ce moment de passion se transforme en véritable cauchemar. En effet, cette rencontre fugace le conduit à purger une longue peine de prison, illustrant ainsi comment une minute d'inadvertance peut avoir des conséquences désastreuses et durables sur sa vie. Le contexte évoqué ici est celui des choix impulsifs et des regrets qui en découlent. On ressent à travers les paroles le poids de cette décision, à la fois romantique et tragique, qui illustre bien la fragilité des relations humaines et les aléas de la vie.
