Tiny Sparrow

Peter, Paul and Mary

Transposer:

(x2) Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men. They're like the stars on a summer's mornin' First they'll appear and then they're gone. If I had known before I courted What all his lyin' could have done I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden And never would have courted none. I wish I were a tiny sparrow And I had wings and I could fly. I'd fly away to my own true lover And all he'd ask I would deny. Alas I'm not a tiny sparrow I have not wings nor can I fly And on this earth in grief and sorrow I am bound until I die. Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men. They're like the stars on a summer's mornin' First they'll appear and then they're gone.

Cette chanson évoque la fragilité des relations amoureuses, mettant en garde les femmes contre les promesses des hommes, souvent éphémères et illusoires. Elle illustre le sentiment de déception et de tristesse, en exprimant le désir d'échapper à la douleur d'un cœur brisé. La voix s'imagine comme un petit oiseau capable de fuir vers un amour sincère, mais admet qu'elle est prisonnière de ses émotions sur terre. Le contexte semble évoquer une période où les attentes romantiques étaient souvent déçues, reflétant des préoccupations universelles sur la fidélité et la sincérité dans les relations humaines. L'utilisation de métaphores simples, comme celle des étoiles, rend le message accessible et poignant.
