Sing Another Song, Boys

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

Ah his fingernails I see they're broken      His ships they're all on fire       The moneylender's lovely little daughter Ah she's eaten she's eaten with desire            She spies him through the glasses From the pawnshops of her wicked father     She hails him with a microphone That some poor singer just like me had to leave her     She tempts him with a clarinet     She waves a Nazi dagger She finds him lying in a heap       She wants to be his woman      He says "Yes I just might go to sleep But kindly leave leave the future leave it open."           He stands where it is steep Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one           His hand upon his leather belt now Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner      And she will learn to touch herself so well As all the sails burn down like paper    And he has lit the chain       Of his famous cigarillo Ah they'll never they'll never ever reach the moon       At least not the one that we're after      It's floating broken on the open sea look out there my friends And it carries no survivors But let's leave these lovers wondering Why they cannot have each other    And let's sing another song boys This one has grown old and bitter     La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la... La la la... La... ...

La chanson évoque une rencontre tumultueuse entre deux personnages en quête de sens et d'amour dans un monde désenchanté. Le protagoniste, visiblement fatigué et désabusé, se retrouve face à une femme séduisante, fille d'un prêteur sur gage, qui incarne le désir et la tentation. Leur interaction est empreinte de danger et de passion, mais elle révèle aussi l'inaccessibilité de leurs rêves, symbolisés par la lune, qui semble brisée et inatteignable, flottant sur l'océan. Dans ce contexte, on perçoit une lutte entre l'aspiration à un avenir meilleur et la réalité crue de leur existence. La chanson se conclut sur une note de résignation, incitant à continuer la vie malgré les déceptions, tout en laissant la porte ouverte à d'autres récits. C'est une exploration poétique de la fragilité des relations humaines face à un monde en flammes.
