Setle down

Peter, Paul and Mary

Transposer:

I’M GOIN’ DOWN THAT HIGHWAY GOIN’ TO ANOTHER TOWN. o BABY WHEN I FIND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR WELL THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. I WORKED MY WAY FROM BOSTON TO THAT SAN FRANCISCO BAY o BABY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR I COULDN’T FIND ALONG THE WAY. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. NEVER BEEN CONTENTED NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM o IT AIN’T NO FUN TO SEE A SETTIN’ SUN WHEN YOU’RE FAR AWAY FROM HOME. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. I’VE WORKED IN THE MILLS OF PITTSBURGH IN THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE o BABY ALL I WANT IS TO FIND A JOB THAT WILL SET MY MIND AT EASE. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN. WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME BROTHER I’M A STRANGER IN YOUR TOWN WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME SISTER AND THEN MAYBE I’LL SETTLE DOWN.

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur exprime son désir de trouver un endroit où se poser après avoir voyagé de ville en ville. Il ressent une profonde solitude en tant qu'étranger dans les différents lieux qu'il traverse, cherchant un soutien et une connexion avec les personnes qu'il rencontre. Son aspiration principale est de dénicher un emploi qui lui apporterait la paix d'esprit et, enfin, le sentiment de rester quelque part. Le contexte évoqué pourrait être celui de nombreux travailleurs itinérants, en particulier durant une période de migrations importantes, où l'on ressent souvent l'absence de racines et le besoin de trouver un foyer.
