He Was My Brother

Simon & Garfunkel

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] He--- was my brother Five years older than I He--- was my brother Twenty-three years old the day he died [Verse 2] Fre-e-e-edom rider They cursed my brother to his face Go home outsider This town’s gonna be your buryin’ place [Verse 3] He--- was singin’ on his knees An angry mob trailed along They shot my brother dead Because he hated what was wrong [Verse 4] He--- was my brother Tears can’t bring him back to me He - He was my brother And he died so his brothers could be free He died so his brothers could be free

Cette chanson évoque la perte tragique d'un frère, un jeune homme qui se battait pour la justice et la liberté. Le narrateur rappelle les moments passés ensemble et souligne la douleur de son absence, tout en faisant référence aux circonstances violentes de sa mort, survenues à cause de son engagement contre l'injustice. Le thème central est le sacrifice, car il est mort pour que d'autres puissent jouir de la liberté, soulignant ainsi le courage des luttes pour des valeurs essentielles. C’est un hommage poignant à son frère, qui a payé de sa vie son désir de changement.
