What Do I Care

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be If the total isn't high enough when they figure me When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair What do I care what do I care What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips What do I care if I never have much money And sometimes my table looks a little bare Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss You love me and I love you so what do I care What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips What do I care if I never have much money And sometimes my table looks a little bare Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss You love me and I love you so what do I care

La chanson évoque l'idée que, malgré les jugements des autres sur sa vie ou ses réussites, ce qui compte réellement, c'est l'amour partagé. Elle souligne que les moments passés avec l'être aimé valent bien plus que des succès matériels ou des préoccupations personnelles. Au fil des années, l’important n'est pas d'avoir une vie parfaite, mais d'avoir goûté à la douceur de cet amour, et cela suffit à apporter satisfaction et bonheur. Le contexte de cette chanson pourrait se situer dans une réflexion sur les relations amoureuses face aux pressions de la société. Dans un monde où l'on mesure souvent la valeur des gens par leur réussite matérielle, le narrateur rappelle que l'essentiel réside dans les liens affectifs qui enrichissent notre existence.
