Summer in Dublin

Liam Reilly

Transposer:

Take me away from the city Lead me to where I can be on my own I wanted to see you and know that I have I just want to be left alone I'll always remember your kind words And I'mm still remember your name But I've seen you've changing and turning And I know that things just won't be the same I remember that summer in Dublin And the Liffey as it stank like hell And the young walking on Grafton Street Everyone looking so well I was singing a song I heard somewhere Called Rock'n'Roll never forgets When my humming was smothered by a 46A And the scream of the low flying jets So I jumped on a bus to Dungleary Stopping off to pick up my guitar When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich I was glad we weren't going to far So I leaving on Wednesday morning And trying to find a place where I can hear The wind and the birds and the sea and the rocks And the open road is always near And if sometimes I'm tired of the quiet And I want to walk back up that hill I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb Cause I know for sure you'll be there still Refrain (x2)

La chanson évoque un désir d'évasion loin de l'agitation urbaine, une quête de solitude et de paix intérieure. Le narrateur se remémore des moments passés à Dublin, où il a ressenti une connexion avec les gens et l'environnement, malgré les désagréments de la ville. Il parle d'une époque révolue, marquée par des changements et par des souvenirs d’une vie simple, mêlant nostalgie et espoir. Les images des rues animées et des petites aventures quotidiennes, tout cela fait ressortir le besoin de retrouver ce qui est essentiel et de poursuivre sa route, à la recherche d'un endroit qui lui permettra de se ressourcer.
