White Man

Queen

Transposer:

I'm a simple man       With a simple name       From this soil my people came In this soil remain        Oh yeah oh yeah He made us our shoes        We trod soft on the land But the immigrant built roads On our blood and sand      Oh yeah.       White man White man Don't you see the light behind your blackened skies White man White man You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes White man White man Where you gonna hide  From the hell you've made ? Oh the Red man knows war With his hands and his knives On the bible you swore    Fought your battle with lies  Oh yeah       Leave my body in shame    Leave my soul in disgrace  But by every God's name   Say your prayers for your race Oh yeah White man White man Our country was green and all our rivers wide White man White man You came with a gun and soon our children died White man White man Don't you give a light  for the blood you've shed                      Oh White man White man (White man) White man White man Fought your battle with lies yeah White man White man - but weren't too civilized yeah White man White man Take a look around Every skin and bone Yea Yeah N.C.             What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone Then learned how to teach    Then forgot how to learn Oh yeah

La chanson évoque la lutte et la souffrance des peuples autochtones face à l'arrivée des colonisateurs. Elle met en lumière les injustices historiques, le mépris des cultures originelles et souligne le décalage entre les promesses faites et la réalité vécue. Le narrateur, se présentant comme un homme simple, dépeint l'impact dévastateur de la colonisation, ainsi que la gloire perdue des terres d'origine. Le contexte de cette œuvre se trouve dans un passage historique complexe, où les colonisateurs ont souvent imposé leur vision au détriment des peuples originels. C'est une réflexion sur les conséquences des actions humaines et un appel à la prise de conscience collective.
