Macarthur Park

Richard Harris

Transposer:

Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance                Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants                MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain and I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees                The birds, like tender babies in your hands and the old men playing checkers by the trees                MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain and I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! There will be another song for me For I will sing it     There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm and never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life You'll still be the one.   I will take my life into my hands and I will use it    I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose  it I will have the things that I desire and my passion flow like rivers through the sky. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you and wondering why. MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain and I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!      Oh no  ...

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un amour perdu, mêlé à des souvenirs d'un temps révolu. Elle décrit des moments de tendresse, comme des caresses échangées et des rêves d'avenir, face à une réalité qui s'effrite. Le lieu où se déroule l'histoire, un parc, symbolise le passage du temps et la beauté fugace des souvenirs. Au fil des vers, l'image du gâteau qui se détériore sous la pluie représente des espoirs brisés et des occasions manquées. Le chanteur exprime un regret profond, se rendant compte que certains instants, tout comme certaines recettes de vie, ne peuvent jamais se reproduire. Malgré cela, il garde l'espoir qu'il y aura d'autres chansons, d'autres rêves, tout en demeurant attaché à ce qu'il a perdu.
