Darling Lorraine

Paul Simon

Transposer:

[Verse 1] The first time I saw her I couldn’t be sure But the sin of impatience Said She’s just what you’re looking for So I walked right up to her And with the part of me that talks I introduced myself as Frank From New York New York She’s so hot She’s so cool I’m not I’m just a fool in love with darling Lorraine [Verse 2] All my life I’ve been a wanderer Not really I mostly lived near my parents’ home Anyway Lorraine and I got married And the usual marriage stuff Then one day she says to me From out of the blue she says "Frank I’ve had enough Romance is a heartbreaker I’m not meant to be a homemaker And I’m tired of being darling Lorraine" [Chorus 1] What - You don’t love me anymore? What - You’re walking out the door? What - You don’t like the way I chew? Hey let me tell you You’re not the woman that I wed You say you’re depressed but you’re not; you just like to stay in bed I don’t need you darling Lorraine Darling Lorraine Lorraine I long for your love [Verse 3] Financially speaking I guess I’m a washout Everybody’s buy and sell And sell and buy and And that’s what the whole thing’s all about If it had not been for Lorraine I’d have left here long ago I should have been a musician I love the piano She’s so light She’s so free I’m tight well that’s me But I feel so good with Darling Lorraine [Bridge] On Christmas morning Frank awakes To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes They watch the television husband and wife All afternoon "It’s A Wonderful Life" [Chorus 2] What - You don’t love me anymore? What - You’re walking out the door? What - You don’t like the way I chew? Hey let me tell you You’re not the woman that I wed Gimmie my robe I’m going back to bed I’m sick to death of you Lorraine Darling Lorraine Lorraine Her hands like wood The doctor was smiling But the news wasn’t good [Verse 4] Darling Lorraine Please don’t leave me yet I know you’re in pain pain you can’t forget Your breathing is like an echo of our love Maybe I’ll go down to the corner store And buy us something sweet Here’s an extra blanket honey To wrap around your feet All the trees were washed with April rain And the moon in the meadow Took darling Lorraine

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme nommé Frank qui, après avoir rencontré Lorraine, tombe passionnément amoureux d'elle. Leur relation évolue, mais Lorraine finit par exprimer son désir de quitter cette vie qu'elle trouve insatisfaisante, évoquant les déceptions et la fatigue d'être perçue comme la parfaite épouse. Malgré son attachement, Frank est confronté à la réalité de la distance émotionnelle qui les sépare. Dans un contraste entre leurs rêves et leurs réalités, on voit l'homme se débattre avec ses sentiments de perte et de malaise face à la situation. Il regrette de ne pas avoir suivi sa passion pour la musique et se trouve piégé dans une vie qu'il n’a pas vraiment choisie. Les thèmes de l'amour, de la frustration et du souvenir d'un bonheur passé se mêlent, dépeignant un tableau poignant de leur relation tumultueuse.
