Boogie Street

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

(O Crown of Light, O Darkened One) (I never thought we'd meet) (You kiss my lips, and then you're gone) (And I'm back on Boogie Street) A sip of wine, a cigarette And then it's time to go I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo I'm wanted at the traffic-jam They're saving me a seat I'm what I am, and what I am Is back on Boogie Street And O my love, I still recall The pleasures that we knew The rivers and the waterfall Wherein I bathed with you Bewildered by your beauty there I'd kneel to dry your feet By such instructions you prepare A man for Boogie Street (O Crown of Light, Crown of Light) (O Darkened One, Darkened One, Darkened One) (I never thought we'd meet, never thought we'd meet) (You kiss my lips, kiss my lips) (And then it's done, then it's done, then it's done) (And I'm back, back on Boogie Street)                So come, my friends, be not afraid We are so lightly here It is in love that we are made In love we disappear Though all the maps of blood and flesh Are posted on the door There's no one who has told us yet What Boogie Street is for (O Crown of Light, Crown of Light) (O Darkened One, Darkened One, Darkened One) (I never thought we'd meet, never thought we'd meet) (You kiss my lips, kiss my lips) (And then it's done, then it's done, then it's done) (And I'm back, back on Boogie Street)                A sip of wine, a cigarette And then it's time to go I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo I'm wanted at the traffic-jam They're saving me a seat I'm what I am, and what I am Is back on Boogie Street...

La chanson évoque une rencontre fugace empreinte de nostalgie. Le protagoniste se remémore des instants passés avec une personne aimée, où l’amour et la beauté semblent se fondre dans un paysage de plaisirs simples et éphémères. Entre un verre de vin et une cigarette, il se prépare à retourner à la réalité, tout en se questionnant sur la signification de son existence et de ce lieu qu’est Boogie Street, symbole d’une vie faite de rencontres et d’évanouissements. Le contexte semble se situer dans un cadre urbain, où la vie quotidienne, avec ses embouteillages et ses banjos accordés, rappelle l’ordinaire des liens humains. Il y a une douceur mélancolique dans ces souvenirs, conjuguée à une acceptation de la vie telle qu’elle est, légère et transitoire.
