Treaty

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

I've seen you change the water into wine I've seen you change it back to water too I sit at your table every night I try but I just don't get high with you I wish there was a treaty we could sign I do not care who takes this bloody hill I'm angry and I'm tired all the time I wish there was a treaty I wish there was a treaty Between your love and mine Ah they're dancing in the street?it's Jubilee We sold ourselves for love but now we're free I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be Only one of us was real and that was me I haven't said a word since you been gone That any liar couldn't say as well I just can't believe the static coming on You were my ground my safe and sound You were my aerial Ah the fields are crying out?it's Jubilee We sold ourselves for love but now we're free I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be Only one of us was real and that was me I heard the snake was baffled by his sin He shed his scales to find the snake within But born again is born without a skin The poison enters into everything And I wish there was a treaty we could sign I do not care who takes this bloody hill I'm angry and I'm tired all the time I wish there was a treaty I wish there was a treaty Between your love and mine

La chanson évoque une lutte émotionnelle entre l'amour et la déception. L'artiste exprime un souhait désespéré pour un accord, un compromis qui pourrait apaiser la douleur des relations brisées. Il évoque des images puissantes, comme la transformation de l'eau en vin, symbolisant les moments de joie, mais aussi le retour à la réalité amère. La nostalgie et le sentiment de perte sont omniprésents, le chanteur se sent piégé par un amour non réciproque et par les fantômes du passé. Elle se situe dans un contexte de réflexion sur l'amour et la liberté, décrivant comment les sentiments peuvent nous enchaîner tout en promettant une forme de libération. Les métaphores de la danse et de la jubilation côtoient les thèmes de la souffrance et de l'angoisse, illustrant la complexité des relations humaines. Le désir d'un traité entre deux amours en conflit résume ce besoin d'harmonie et de réconciliation.
