I Was A Bird

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

[Verse] I was a bird that loved to fly Catching the wind as it went south And I could touch every inch of sky And the sweetest songs trilled from my mouth But I’m no bird anyone can see And there’s no wind waiting for me It’s just a dream it’s just a dream To be a bird flying free I was a cloud that loved to drift Offering shade to lay upon And the greenest grass was my gift And a summer day was my song But I’m no cloud anyone can see And there’s just dust instead of green It’s just a dream it’s just a dream To be a cloud drifting free I was a light that loved to dance Without a care of who might see I tempted fate and welcomed chance And I held the world inside of me The clouds have fled and the birds have flown And the light that was is all but gone It’s just a dream it’s just a dream [Outro] To be a light To be a cloud To be a bird Flying free

Cette chanson évoque le désir d'échapper aux limites et de vivre en toute liberté. L’artiste utilise des métaphores puissantes, se comparant à un oiseau qui souhaite voler, à un nuage qui se laisse porter, et à une lumière qui danse sans contrainte. Ces images traduisent une quête de légèreté et d’évasion, mais aussi une profonde mélancolie face à la réalité. Malgré les rêves de liberté, il y a un sentiment d'impuissance, un constat que cette liberté reste souvent inatteignable. Ces réflexions soulignent le contraste entre les aspirations et les contraintes de la vie quotidienne.
