500 Miles

Rosanne Cash

Transposer:

If you hear the train I m on. You will know that I am gone. You can hear the whisle blow a hundred miles. A hundred miles, a hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles, You can hear the whisle blow a hundred miles. Teardrops fall on mama s note. When I read the thing she wrote She said we miss you here, we love you, come on home Well I didn t have to pass, I had it alright on by back Now I m five hundred miles away from home. Lord I m one, Lord I m two, Lord I m three, Lord I m four. Lord I m five hundred miles away from home. Not a shirt on my back. Not a penny to my name And the land that I once left is not my own. Lord I m one, Lord I m two, Lord I m three, Lord I m four. Lord I m five hundred miles away from home. All these years and all these rules. Never led me back to you Well I m still a hundred miles away from home.. Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home Well I m five hundred miles away from home..

La chanson évoque un voyage douloureux loin de chez soi, un sentiment profond de nostalgie et de perte. Le protagoniste se trouve à des centaines de miles de son foyer, et chaque son de train lui rappelle l'absence. Sa mère lui écrit pour lui faire savoir qu'il lui manque et qu'il est aimé, ce qui accentue la mélancolie de son éloignement. Il se sent désolé de ses choix passés qui l'ont éloigné, tout en éprouvant la difficulté de sa situation actuelle, sans ressources ni réconfort. Ce parcours, marqué par la solitude et l'errance, le laisse toujours en quête d'un retour vers ses racines.
