Rocky Mountain High

John Denver

Transposer:

Intro :  (2x)         He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year; Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away; On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care; It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long   But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la by Rocky Mountain high, Colorado Rocky Mountain high, Colorado   He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below; he saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun; And he lost a friend but kept the memory Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams; seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand; the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky talk to God and listen to the casual re ply Rocky Mountain high, Colorado Rocky Mountain high, Colorado   Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear; of a simple thing he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down, To bring in a couple more; more people, more scars upon the land And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eag le fly Rocky Mountain high And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and every body's high Rocky Mountain high, Colorado Rocky Mountain high, Colorado Rocky Mountain high, Colorado Rocky Mountain high, Colorado...

La chanson évoque le parcours d'un homme qui, à l'âge de vingt-sept ans, retourne dans un lieu où il n'est jamais allé auparavant, comme un nouveau départ dans sa vie. Il laisse derrière lui son passé tumultueux et découvre la beauté des montagnes du Colorado, où il trouve à la fois la solitude et une quête de paix intérieure. En gravissant des sommets majestueux, il élargit son regard sur le monde et sur lui-même, tout en réfléchissant aux souvenirs d’anciens amis perdus et à la fragilité de la nature. Dans ce contexte, elle dépeint une connexion profonde entre l'homme, la nature et le divin, soulignant la lutte pour protéger ces paysages magnifiques contre l’exploitation humaine. La chanson nous rappelle aussi l'émerveillement et la recherche de sens, même face à des peurs et des incertitudes.
