How Come The Sun

Mary Hopkin

Transposer:

[INTRO] [VERSE 1] How come the sun didn’t make it today? Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on? Could it be God didn’t wake it today? You couldn’t blame him Sometimes it feels like the sun just comes up out of habit And goes down as quick as it can These days you just have to grab it as it goes by [VERSE 2] How come the stars didn’t come out tonight? Are they tired of what they’ve been shining down on? Could it be God had a few doubts tonight? You couldn’t blame him Sometimes it seems like the stars are just going through motions They don’t see the point of it all They shine shine but you get the notion they wonder why [BRIDGE] Maybe the sun saw everyone pulling his neighbor’s hair He couldn’t rise without the skies filling with filthy air Do you suppose that he knows? That he knows but he won’t tell us [VERSE 3] How come the moon just won’t rise up and shine? Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on? Could it be God couldn’t make up his mind? You couldn’t blame him Sometimes it feels like the moon’s heart just isn’t in it It gives less than all of its light It shines shines but just when it’s greatest it starts to die [INTERLUDE] [VERSE 4] How come the sun didn’t make it today? Is it tired of what it’s been shining down on? Could it be God didn’t wake it today? You couldn’t blame him Sometimes it feels like the sun just comes up out of habit And goes down as quick as it can These days you just have to grab it as it goes by [OUTRO]

La chanson évoque une réflexion sur la lumière et l'absence de celle-ci dans notre quotidien. Elle se demande pourquoi le soleil, les étoiles et la lune semblent parfois fatigués ou indifférents à leur rôle d'illuminer le monde. On y ressent une certaine lassitude, comme si ces astres agissaient par habitude plutôt que par intention. Il est aussi suggéré que même Dieu pourrait éprouver des doutes face à cette monotonie. À travers ces métaphores, l'artiste aborde des thèmes comme l'ennui, la question de la lumière intérieure et la recherche de sens dans un monde qui paraît parfois déconcertant.
