Jonah

Paul Simon

Transposer:

Half an hour change your strings and tune up Sizing the room up Checking the bar Local girls unspoken conversation Misinformation Plays guitar They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale But I say there’s no truth to that tale I know Jonah He was swallowed by a song No one gives their dreams away too lightly They hold them tightly Warm against cold One more year of traveling ’round this circuit Then you can work it into gold They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale But I say there’s no truth to that tale I know Jonah He was swallowed by a song Here’s to all the boys who came a-along Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases All night long Do you wonder where those boys have gone? Do you wonder where those boys have gone? Repeat and fade:

La chanson évoque l’histoire de Jonah, en remettant en question le fameux récit biblique selon lequel il aurait été avalé par une baleine. Au lieu de cela, l’artiste affirme que Jonah a été englouti par une chanson, soulignant ainsi la puissance de la musique et des rêves. La mélodie nous plonge dans un univers où les jeunes musiciens, portant leurs guitares, parcourent les routes et vivent des expériences riches en émotions. L'idée centrale est que les véritables trésors de vie ne sont pas toujours matériels, mais souvent liés à nos passions et à notre créativité.
