Suzanne And The Jewels

John Mellencamp

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Suzanne was the jewel keeper In a word she stole all the jewels And she took them to a foreign land Which was strictly against all the rules And she wore them all proudly Like a tiara crown on her head She slept with them at night Suzanne and the jewels in a bed [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin’ on the edge of a friend Suzanne how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? [Verse 2] Suzanne lived down by the river The fountain of youth did flow And she played on a steel guitar And the drifters did come and they’d go And she’d put on her crown And she’d sing them a song And some drifters would stay here the night But they never did stay long [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin’ on the edge of a friend Suzanne how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? [Verse 3] This girl she flew on the wind She wrote her own name in the stars Just goes to show sometimes you win No matter how crazy you are But a thief can come knocking Even with blood on the door And drink up your fountain of youth And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin’ on the edge of a friend Suzanne how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head?

La chanson raconte l'histoire de Suzanne, une jeune femme qui, en défiant les règles, se retrouve à posséder des joyaux qu'elle a volés et qu'elle porte avec fierté comme une sorte de couronne. Elle vit près d'une rivière, un endroit plein de magie et de jeunesse, et elle joue de la guitare pour les voyageurs qui passent. Pourtant, malgré cette vie de rêve, une ombre plane sur son bonheur : le risque de perdre tout ce qu'elle a, que ce soit à cause d'un voleur ou des conséquences de ses choix. Elle se demande comment elle pourra dormir paisiblement en sachant qu'elle pourrait un jour perdre cette couronne qui la définit.
