Do I Have to Dance All Night

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

I'm Forty-One the moon is full You make love very well You touch me like I touch myself I like you Mademoiselle You're so fresh and you're so new I do enjoy you Miss There's nothing I would rather do Than move around just like this But do I have to dance all night? But do I have to dance all night? Ooh tell me Bird of Paradise Do I have to dance all night? You never really have to tell me what You really think of me - alright Let's say I'm doing fine But do I have to dance all night? But do I have to dance all night? But do I have to dance all night? Ooh tell me Bird of Paradise Do I have to dance all night? I learned this step a while ago I had to practice it while everybody slept I waited half my life for you you know I didn't even think that you'd accept And here you are before me in the flesh Saying: "Yes yes yes!" But do I have to dance all night? But do I have to dance all night? Ooh tell me Bird of Paradise Do I have to dance all night? I learned this step a while ago I had to practice it while everybody slept I waited half my life for you you know I didn't even think that you'd accept And here you are before me in the flesh Saying: "Yes yes yes!" But do I have to dance all night? But do I have to dance all night? Ooh tell me Bird of Paradise Do I have to dance all night? (x2)

Cette chanson évoque le désir et l'enthousiasme d'un homme qui se sent profondément attiré par une femme. Il exprime sa joie d'être avec elle, de partager des moments intimes, mais s'interroge également sur la nécessité de prolonger ce plaisir à travers la danse, symbole de leur connexion. La répétition de sa question montre son anxiété face à l'éventualité de devoir continuer cette célébration de l'amour toute la nuit, alors qu'il a déjà attendu longtemps pour vivre ce moment. Dans un contexte peut-être festif ou romantique, cette mélodie nous plonge dans les pensées d'un homme à la croisée des chemins, à la fois jubilant et inquiet, savourant un instant précieux tout en se demandant jusqu'où cela le mènera. Les références à l’apprentissage de la danse soulignent la préparation et l’anticipation qui l’ont accompagné durant des années. C’est une belle métaphore pour illustrer l’amour et l’engagement que l’on nourrit au fil du temps.
