Seems So Long Ago Nancy

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone Looking at the Late Late show through a semi-precious stone In the House of Honesty her father was on trial In the House of Mystery there was no one at all there was no one at all. It seems so long ago, none of us were very strong Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone She never said she'd wait for us even though she was alone I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one In nineteen sixty one. It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone A forty five beside her head, an open telephone We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery The House of Mystery And now you look around you, see her everywhere Many use her body, many comb her hair In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb You hear her talking freely then She's happy that you've come She's happy that you've come.

La chanson évoque le sentiment de nostalgie et de solitude à travers le personnage de Nancy, qui semble perdue et entourée d'une atmosphère de mystère. Elle se retrouve dans des situations difficiles, réfléchissant à son passé et aux relations compliquées qu'elle a eues. Les images d'un tribunal et de l'absence de soutien soulignent sa vulnérabilité, tandis que ses interactions superficielles avec les autres laissent un goût amer de désespoir. Le contexte concerne une période où l'amour et la liberté sont souvent des illusions pour ceux qui se sentent isolés. Nancy, bien qu'elle soit entourée de promesses d'affection, reste profondément seule, et sa quête de connexion réelle est désenchantée. C'est un tableau poignant d'une époque où les désirs et les réalités s'affrontent, laissant les personnages dans un vide émotionnel.
