Lady Midnight

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

I came by myself to a very crowded place; I was looking for someone who had lines in her face I found her there but she was past all concern; I asked her to hold me, said "lady unfold me," But she scorned me,and she told me I was dead and I could never return. Well I argued all night like so many have before Saying,"whatever you give me I seem to need so much more" Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor She said "don't try to use me or slyly refuse me Just win me or lose me, it is this that the darkness is for."9 I cried, "oh, lady midnight, I fear that you grow old, Stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "if we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored." So I walked through the morning,the sweet early morning I could hear my lady calling, "You've won me, you've won me, my lord;" "You've won me, you've won me, my lord;" "Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord." Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."

La chanson évoque une rencontre émotive entre un homme et une femme, où il se rend dans un endroit bondé à la recherche d'une personne marquée par le temps. Lorsqu'il la trouve, elle semble indifférente à ses supplications, lui révélant une vérité douloureuse : qu'il est déjà mort en quelque sorte et ne peut revenir. Malgré ses arguments et son désir de connexion, elle lui demande d’être direct dans sa quête d’amour, sans jeux de manipulation, soulignant que l’obscurité est un espace de vérité et de confrontation. Le dialogue entre eux révèle une profonde mélancolie, où elle lui fait comprendre que les larmes ne changeront rien, tout en l’invitant à affronter la difficulté de leur situation. À la fin, il ressent un léger espoir, tandis qu'une voix féminine résonne, lui faisant comprendre qu'il a réussi à conquérir son cœur.
