O' Children

Nick Cave

Transposer:

Pass me that lovely little gun My dear my darling one The cleaners are coming one by one You don't even want to let them start They are knocking now upon your door They measure the room they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here take these before we run away The keys to the gulag Oooo children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They're gathering round with all my friends We're older now the light is dim And you are only just beginning Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children Verso 5: We have the answer to all your fears It's short it's simple it's crystal clear It's round about it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings Oooo children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it man they're in the groove They've hosed you down you're good as new They're lining up to inspect you Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children Poor old Jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that was lost We're all weeping now weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you Oooo children Lift up your voice lift up your voice Children Rejoice rejoice Hey little train! We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station Hey little train! Wait for me! I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? Hey little train! Wait for me! I was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there don't you see In this process of elimination Hey little train! We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun It's beyond my wildest expectation Hey little train! We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We're happy Ma we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station

La chanson évoque un sentiment profond de mélancolie et de quête de rédemption. Les paroles parlent d'un groupe de personnes confrontées à leurs erreurs passées, cherchant à se libérer des conséquences de leurs actions. Il y a une métaphore d'un train qui symbolise un voyage vers un monde meilleur, un royaume de joie et de liberté, où l'espoir renaît malgré les épreuves. Le contexte semble refléter des luttes personnelles et collectives, où les protagonistes, désormais plus âgés, réalisent la fragilité de la vie. Ils aspirent à retrouver une innocence perdue, mais aussi à embrasser un nouveau départ, même si cela implique une certaine douleur. C'est un appel à se tourner vers la lumière, en célébrant l'espoir et la possibilité d'un renouveau.
