There Is War

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

There is a war between the rich and poor a war between the man and the woman There is a war between the ones who say there-is-a-war and the ones who say there isn't Why don't you come on back to the war?  that's right get in it Why don't you come on back to the war?  it's just beginning  Well I live here with a woman and a child the situation makes me kind of nervous Yes I rise up from her arms she says "I guess you call this love" I call it service Why don't you come on back to the war?  don't be a tourist why don't you come on back to the war?  before it hurts us why don't you come on back to the war?  let's all get nervous You cannot stand what I've become you much prefer the gentleman I was before I was so easy to defeat I was so easy to control I didn't even know there was a war Why don't you come on back to the war?  don't be embarrassed  why don't you come on back to the war?  you can still get married There is a war between the rich and poor a war between the man and the woman There is a war between the left and right a war between the black and white a war between the odd and the even Why don't you come on back to the war?  pick up your tiny burden why don't you come on back to the war?  let's all get even  why don't you come on back to the war?  can't you hear me speaking?

La chanson aborde le thème des conflits sociaux qui existent dans notre société, notamment entre les riches et les pauvres, les hommes et les femmes, et même au sein de différentes idéologies. Elle évoque un sentiment d'urgence à prendre conscience de ces luttes et à y participer plutôt que de rester en retrait, comme un simple spectateur. L'artiste parle aussi de sa situation personnelle, illustrant comment ces tensions peuvent influencer les relations intimes et les sentiments de vulnérabilité. Les paroles soulignent l'idée que la guerre ne se limite pas à un combat physique, mais qu'elle se manifeste également dans nos interactions quotidiennes et dans les déséquilibres de pouvoir qui nous entourent.
