Down By The Sally Gardens

Loreena McKennitt

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] It was down by the Sally Gardens my love and I did meet She passed by the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet She bid me to take life easy as the leaves grow on the tree__ But I was young and foolish and with her I did not agree [Instrumental] [Verse] In a field down by the river my love and I did stand And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand She bid me to take life easy as the grass grows on the weir__ But I was young and foolish and now I am full of tears [Instrumental] / [Verse] It was down by the Sally Gardens my love and I did meet She passed by the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet She bid me to take life easy as the leaves grow on the tree__ But I was young and foolish and with her I did not agree [Outro]

La chanson évoque une rencontre amoureuse idyllique dans un jardin, où le protagoniste croise une jeune femme aux pieds délicats. Elle lui conseille de profiter de la vie avec sérénité, inspirée par le cycle naturel des feuilles et de l'herbe. Cependant, il ne comprend pas son sage conseil et passe à côté de cette sagesse, ce qui lui laisse maintenant un sentiment de regret et de mélancolie. Le texte illustre ainsi la tension entre la jeunesse insouciante et la sagesse que l'on acquiert avec le temps, un thème universel et intemporel.
