Slow

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

I'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast You want to get there soon I want to get there last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my momma said I'm lacing up my shoe But I don't want to run I'll get there when I do Don't need no startin' gun It's not because I'm old And it's not what dying does I always liked it slow Slow is in my blood I always liked it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not because I'm dead I always liked it slow That's what my momma said All your moves are swift All your turns are tight Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night I like to take my time I like to linger as it flies A weekend on your lips A lifetime in your eyes I'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast You want to get there soon I want to get there last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my momma said I'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast You want to get there soon I want to get there last So baby let me go You're wanted back in town In case they want to know I'm just trying to slow it dow

Cette chanson évoque l'idée de prendre son temps, de ne pas se presser dans la vie. L'artiste exprime son désir de savourer chaque moment, en contraste avec ceux qui cherchent à avancer rapidement. Pour lui, il ne s'agit pas d'une question d'âge ou de fatigue, mais d'un choix délibéré : saluer la lenteur comme une valeur en soi. Il prône une approche plus douce et réfléchie des relations, où chaque instant compte et où la profondeur prime sur la vitesse. Dans un monde où tout va vite, il semble s'interroger sur la nécessité d'accélérer le pas, privilégiant les expériences significatives et durables. Cette réflexion résonne avec l'idée que parfois, il est bon de ralentir et de vraiment apprécier les petites choses.
