Quiet Man

John Prine

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand I don’t talk much I’m a quiet man Beauty and silence both run deep And I’m running like crazy while you are asleep [Chorus] You got news for me I got nothing for you Don’t pin your blues on me Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to [Verse] Last Monday night I saw a fight Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night Tuesday asked me what was going on I said "Sunday’s in the meadow and Friday’s in the corn" [Chorus] You got news for me I got nothing for you Don’t pin your blues on me Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to [Verse] Hocus-pocus maladjusted Don’t you think my tears get rusted Steady losing means you ain’t using What you really think is right [Chorus] You got news for me I got nothing for you Don’t pin your blues on me Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to [Verse] Oodles of light what a beautiful sight Both of God’s eyes are shining tonight Rays and beams of incredible dreams And I am a quiet man [Verse] Oodles of light what a beautiful sight Both of God’s eyes are shining tonight Rays and beams of incredible dreams And I am a quiet man [Verse] Oodles of light what a beautiful sight Both of God’s eyes are shining tonight Rays and beams of incredible dreams And I am a quiet man

La chanson évoque la vie d'un homme qui choisit la tranquillité plutôt que le bruit ambiant. Il se promène avec légèreté, portant ses chaussures à la main, tout en affirmant que sa nature réfléchie le rend peu bavard. À travers des échanges aux allures de jeu de mots sur les jours de la semaine, il exprime un sentiment de désillusion face aux attentes et aux chagrins des autres, en les incitant à vivre selon leur propre volonté. Le texte fait également référence à une beauté sereine, illustrée par des images de lumière et de rêves, soulignant ainsi que la paix intérieure et la connexion spirituelle sont au cœur de son existence. Cela nous rappelle l'importance d'accepter qui nous sommes tout en célébrant les merveilles du monde autour de nous.
