Dapple Rose

Slade

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Once kept in a stable snug and warm But now he’s growing old in open fields he’s forced to go. He often stands in hail rain freezing snow. He’s certain that his master doesn’t mean him any harm. [Chorus] Dapple Rose he doesn’t want you any more. Times go by you will remember. Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow. Times go by you will remember. [Verse 2] His clothing was a shiny coat so fine but now he’s growing old and his beauty does decay. One night he heard his master frown and say "No poor old bones could stand this life of mine." [Chorus] Dapple Rose he doesn’t want you any more. Times go by you will remember. Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow. Times go by you will remember. [Instrumental] [Verse 3] His food was of the best corn and best hay But now there’s no such thing and he hardly eats at all. He lives on sprouts that grow behind the wall. I doubt if he’ll be lucky to last another day. [Chorus] Dapple Rose he doesn’t want you any more. Times go by you will remember. Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow. Times go by you will remember. [Outro] Don’t feel so bad feel so sad. No more wearing shiny glory now they hang upon the wall In the hall in some far gone manor. Not a soul realises you’re a Dapple Rose of fame. [Instrumental]

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un cheval qui, autrefois choyé et vivant dans le confort, se retrouve maintenant seul et délaissé dans les champs, confronté aux rigueurs de la vie. Son maître, qui semble avoir perdu tout intérêt pour lui, laisse transparaître une indifférence face à la détérioration de cet animal autrefois aimé. Au fil des années, le cheval voit sa beauté et sa vigueur s’effacer, se contentant désormais de restes qui même ne suffisent pas à le sustenter. Le contexte de cette chanson semble parler de l'érosion du temps et de la perte de l'affection, illustrant comment les êtres qui nous étaient chers peuvent, au fil des jours, devenir des souvenirs flous, appelant à la nostalgie d'un passé glorieux. Cela nous rappelle que le passage du temps n'épargne ni la beauté ni les liens qui nous unissent.
