Girl From The Canyon

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

[Verse] The girl from the canyon smiled a smile that brought me home As sick and bleeding as I was she took me on her own Brought me to the canyon where the sun poured down like rain Her smiling eyes and the mountain light I thought myself insane These hills have seen me runnin’ till my horse could hardly stand Hidin’ by day in the mountains movin’ with the moon on the land I’m hoping to find my freedom in a world that wants me dead The girl from the canyon took and healed my wounds instead [Chorus] The girl from the canyon she don’t need to know what I had done She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun The girl from the canyon the girl from the canyon she was the only one [Verse] An outlaw is a hunted one with a price upon his head We’re all outlaws in a way that is what she said And so I left the canyon when I was strong enough to ride The girl from the canyon she was riding by my side [Chorus/Outro] The girl from the canyon she don’t need to know what I had done She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun The girl from the canyon the girl from the canyon she was the only one She was the only one

La chanson décrit l’histoire d’un homme blessé et perdu qui trouve refuge auprès d’une jeune fille vivant dans un canyon. Sa douceur et sa lumière contrastent avec les épreuves qu’il a traversées, et elle l’accueille sans jugements, lui offrant réconfort et guérison. En passant du temps ensemble, ils forment un lien spécial, bien que l’homme porte un passé lourd, marqué par la fugacité et la quête de liberté. Le contexte de la chanson rappelle les luttes de ceux qui se sentent marginaux ou en conflit avec la société. La figure de la jeune fille symbolise l’espoir et le soutien inconditionnel, permettant aux plus démunis de retrouver leur force et leur humanité. C'est une belle métaphore des rencontres salvatrices que la vie peut nous offrir.
