Take it from Day to Day

Stan Rogers

Transposer:

Well it's not_ the hours of_ watch-on_-watch_ And it's not_ the_ work_ that I mind-ind so much_ Or the long_ cold_ miles_ from my lover's_ touch_ Though for sure_ she's far_ away_ No stran_-ger_ I_ to the touch of steel_ Or the ho_-nest_ fear_ any man-an_ can_ feel_ But I long_ for dust_ un_-der my heels_ And a pocket_ full of pay_ So_ I'll_ take it from_ day__ to day___ The pack-ice_ 'round_ us_ cracks_ and_ groans_ The old_ St._ Roch_ she_ creaks-eaks_ and moans_ The i_-cy fog__ is in my bones_ And the ache_ won't_ go_ away_ Outside_ I bet it's_ warm and_ fair_ I could have_ her_ fing-in-gers_ in-in_ my hair_ But it's long_ cold miles_ to her out_ there_ So I guess I'll_ have_ to stay_ And_ just_ take it from_ day__ to day___ We're as far_ North_ now_ as I_ want to come_ But Lar-sen's_ got_ us_ under his_ thumb_ And I_ signed_ up_ for the whole_ damned_ run_ I can't_ get off_ half way_ But when I_ get back_ un_-to the shore_ I'm go_-ing South_ where_ it_ stays_ warm_ And there'll_ be_ some_-one_ on my_ arm_ To help_ me_ spend_ my_ pay_ So_ I'll_ take it from_ day__ to day___ We're as far_ North_ now_ as I_ want to come_ But Lar-sen's_ got_ us_ under his_ thumb_ And I_ signed_ up_ for the whole_ damned_ run_ I can't_ get off_ half way_ But when I_ get back_ un_-to the shore_ I'm go_-ing South_ where_ it_ stays_ warm_ And there'll_ be_ some_-one_ on my_ arm_ To help_ me_ spend_ my_ pay_ So_ I'll_ take it from_ day__ to day___ No stran_-ger_ I_ to the touch of steel_ Or the ho_-nest_ fear_ any man-an_ can_ feel_ But I long_ for dust_ un_-der my heels_ And a pocket_ full of pay_ So_ I'll_ take it from_ day__ to day___

La chanson évoque le quotidien d'un homme qui se trouve loin de sa bien-aimée, confronté aux difficultés et aux dangers des mers glaciales. Il n'est pas tant préoccupé par le travail en lui-même, mais ressent un profond désir de retrouver la chaleur et la proximité de l'amour, tout en devant faire face à ses responsabilités. Les paysages froids et rudes lui pèsent, mais il se concentre sur chaque jour qui passe, avec l'espoir de retourner un jour vers des contrées plus clémentes, où il pourra enfin profiter des fruits de son labeur. Ce récit évoque des thèmes de sacrifice et de nostalgie, tout en soulignant la détermination à avancer malgré les épreuves.
