Corrido Por Buddy

Jolie Holland

Transposer:

Oh listen my dear friends and I’ll tell you a story About someone I barely knew at all He was a friend of my friends and they told me about him How he had nothing to break his fall He had that bad religion in his blood The kind that brings you down and can never lift you up He was a beautiful young man on the streets of Austin He was a ghost faced junkie on the streets of New Orleans I could barely recognize him when I saw him He had to look me in the face and say my name before I knew it was him Oh buddy I wish I’d been a better friend What if they only gave you love when you lied? It’s bound to really rip you up inside Pressures a person into that horrible mouth that leaves a bloody aftermath Everything minus one is everything He treated me with what I considered kindness When I crawled off to sleep in my car he was worried about me When we payed our respects to the moon on the outskirts of Austin I’m sorry to say I was too shy to stay in touch with him Oh buddy I wish I’d been a better friend And I wonder what it takes just to save one little life Icarus almost made it back to the shore When I was really down there were three little words From a couple of good people that kept me holding on Oh buddy I’ll never get a chance again Oh buddy I wish I’d been a better friend Oh buddy I’ll never get a chance again Oh buddy I wish I’d been a better friend

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une personne qui, bien que peu connue de la narratrice, a laissé une forte impression sur elle. Ce jeune homme, décrit comme un ami des amis, était en proie à de grandes luttes personnelles, combattant des démons intérieurs représentés par sa dépendance. Le texte évoque des souvenirs de moments partagés, mais aussi des regrets liés à un manque de contact et de soutien en raison de la timidité de la narratrice. Elle se demande ce qu'il aurait fallu pour sauver une vie, tout en soulignant le poids de l'absence d'amour et de bienveillance dans des situations difficiles. Le contexte de cette chanson semble s'inscrire dans une réflexion plus large sur l’amitié, la compassion et la fragilité de la vie. Elle fait écho aux défis auxquels beaucoup de jeunes peuvent être confrontés dans une société où la lutte contre la solitude et la dépendance est omniprésente.
