Old

Paul Simon

Transposer:

The first time I heard ?Peggy Sue? I was twelve years old Russians up in rocket ships And the war was cold Now many wars have come and gone Genocide still goes on Buddy Holly still goes on But his catalog was sold First time I smoked Guess what? Paranoid. First time I heard ?Satisfaction? I was young and unemployed Down the decades every year Summer leaves and my birthday?s here And all my friends stand up and cheer And say ?Man you?re old? Getting old Old You?re getting old We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way About 1500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke And his wisdom like a river flowed Through hills of gold Wisdom is old The Koran is old The Bible is old Greatest story ever told Disagreements? Work ?em out The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million And we estimate the universe at 13?14 billion When all these numbers tumble into your imagination Consider that the Lord was there before creation God is old We?re not old God is old He made the mold

La chanson évoque le passage du temps et notre rapport à l'âge, en mettant en lumière des souvenirs marquants et les expériences de la vie. L’artiste se remémore des moments de son enfance, des grands événements historiques et culturels, tout en reconnaissant le poids de l'âge qui avance. À travers ces réflexions, il souligne la permanence de certaines vérités spirituelles, rappelant que des figures religieuses telles que Jésus, Bouddha et Mohammed ont transmis des enseignements vieux de plusieurs siècles. Le contexte de cette chanson résonne avec une réflexion sur la sagesse et l'histoire de l'humanité, accentuant la notion que, bien que tout change avec le temps, les vérités divines et la présence de Dieu demeurent intemporelles. Cette distinction entre l’ancienneté de Dieu et notre propre existence éphémère nous pousse à contempler notre place dans l'univers.
