Kings Song

Jim Croce

Transposer:

King’s Song Jim Croce He struggled so hard to be king Working night and day Dreaming of only one thing Never a holiday Somewhere along the way He forgot she was only a girl Now his kingdom has fallen And it’s really quite a tragic tale Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen But the queen claimed he built her a jail He struggled so hard to be king He wanted everything He built her a house by the sea Just to keep her in Somewhere along the way He forgot she needed a friend Now his kingdom has fallen And it’s really quite a tragic tale Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen And the queen claimed he built her a jail It happened so quickly before he could know She was gone far gone Far from the castle the diamonds and things She had worn to the ball There was a note that she carefully wrote Signed it best wishes to all Oh you struggled so hard to be king Working night and day Dreaming of only one thing never a holiday Somewhere along the way You forgot that I needed a man When they found him they took him back where he belonged And his family and friends saw him annually And they say it’s a shame what’s become of the king

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui a travaillé sans relâche pour devenir roi, se focalisant sur ses ambitions au point d'ignorer les véritables besoins de sa reine. Il rêvait de tout avoir, mais dans sa quête de pouvoir et de richesse, il a négligé la dimension humaine de sa relation. Sa reine, qui avait besoin d'un compagnon plutôt que d'un riche monarque, finit par s'éloigner, laissant un roi isolé dans son château, maintenant considéré comme une prison plutôt qu'un foyer. Le contexte évoque la tristesse de la solitude et le coût d'une ambition démesurée. Finalement, ce roi, qui a sacrifié tant de choses pour son statut, se retrouve seul, alors que tout ce qu'il a construit s'effondre. C'est une réflexion sur les priorités et les conséquences de l'égoïsme dans les relations humaines.
