Down At the Twist and Shout

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

Saturday night and the moon is out I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat When it lifts me up I’m gonna find my feet - Out in the middle of a big dance floor When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou’sian’ tonight Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans Never have drifted down a bayou stream But I heard that music on the radio And I swore some day I was gonna go Down Highway 10 past Lafayette To Baton Rouge and I won’t forget To send you a card with my regrets ’Cause I’m never gonna come back home Saturday night and the moon is out I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat When it lifts me up I’m gonna find my feet Out in the middle of a big dance floor When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou’sian’ tonight They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie A gulf storm blowing into town tonight Living on the delta’s quite a show They got hurricane parties every time it blows But here up north it’s a cold cold rain And there ain’t no cure for my blues today Except when the paper says Beausoleil Is a-coming into town baby let’s go down It’s Saturday night and the moon is out I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat When it lifts me up I’m gonna find my feet Out in the middle of a big dance floor When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou’sian’ tonight Bring your mama bring your papa bring your sister too They got lots of music and lots of room When they play you a waltz from a-1910 You’re gonna feel a little bit young again Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll You learned to swing with a do-si-do But you learn to love at the fais-do-do When you hear a little Jolie Blon Saturday night and the moon is out I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat When it lifts me up I’m gonna find my feet Out in the middle of a big dance floor When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou’sian’ tonight

La chanson évoque une envie de s'évader et de se plonger dans l'ambiance festive d'un samedi soir sous la lune, en quête de danse et de musique entraînante. Elle parle de rêver d'une nuit à danser sur des rythmes cajuns, de vivre des moments simples et joyeux, avec un partenaire pour s'amuser sur une grande piste de danse. Bien que l'auteur n'ait jamais visité la Nouvelle-Orléans et ne connaisse pas les rivières bayou, il est attiré par la musique qu'il entend à la radio, rêvant de vivre l'expérience de cette culture riche. Dans le contexte de la chanson, on ressent l'importance des rassemblements conviviaux, de la bonne nourriture et des traditions musicales qui font vibrer le cœur de la Louisiane. Les images de festins, de danses familiales et de la culture locale créent une atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante. C'est une invitation à célébrer la vie, à danser et à apprécier les plaisirs simples, loin des soucis du quotidien.
