Best Friend

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

Hmm an old man on his death bed once said to me You are the master of your destiny A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone But a man's not all good nor all bad When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall You're the best friend that you've ever had You're the best friend that you've ever had So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone This old man's wisdom brought his meaning home A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone But a man's not all good nor all bad When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall You're the best friend that you've ever had You're the best friend that you've ever had So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm Well now that I'm older I found this is true The thing that remains is the good that you do A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone But a man's not all good nor all bad When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall You're the best friend that you've ever had You're the best friend that you've ever had

La chanson parle de la sagesse d'un homme âgé sur son lit de mort, qui partage des réflexions profondes sur la vie. Il souligne que chaque personne a une part de lumière et d'ombre en elle, et que ce qui compte vraiment, c'est l'amitié et le soutien que l'on s'apporte les uns aux autres dans les moments difficiles. Il encourage à vivre pleinement, à rire et à pleurer aux moments appropriés, tout en rappelant que les actions positives sont ce qui perdure au fil du temps. Le contexte de cette chanson évoque une transmission de sagesse intergénérationnelle, où les leçons apprises dans la vie sont offertes à ceux qui restent. Ce message résonne particulièrement quand on réfléchit à l'importance des relations authentiques et des choix moraux que l'on fait.
