The maid on the Shore

Stan Rogers

Transposer:

(Rythme 3/4) There is a young maiden_ she lives all a-lone_ She lived all a-lone on the shore__-ore_ There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind_ But to roam all a-lone on the shore_ shore shore_ But to roam all a-lone on the shore___ That'was of the young Captain who sailed the salt sea_ Let the wind blow high_ blow low__-ow_ I will die_ I will die_ the young Captain did cry_ If I don't have that maid on the shore_ shore_ shore_ If I don't have that maid on the shore___ I have lots of silver_ I have lots of gold_ I have lots of costly ware__-o_ I'll divide_ I'll divide_ with my jolly ship's crew_ If they row me that maid on the shore_ shore shore_ If they row me that maid on the shore___ After much persuasion_ they got her aboard_ Let the wind blow high_ blow low__-ow They replaced her away in his cabin below_ Here's adieu to all sorrow and care_ care_ care_ Here's adieu to all sorrow and care___ They replaced her away in his cabin below_ Let the wind blow high_ blow low__-ow She's so pretty and neat_ she's so sweet and complete_ She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep_ sleep sleep_ She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep___ Then she robbed him of silver_ she robbed him of gold_ She robbed him of costly ware__-o_ Then took his broadsword instead of an oar_ And paddled her way to the shore_ shore_ shore_ And paddled her way_ to the shore___ Me men must be crazy_ me men must be mad_ Me men must be deep in despair__-o_ For to let you away from my cabin so gay_ And to paddle your way to the shore_ shore_ shore_ And to paddle your way to the shore___ Your men was not crazy_ your men was not mad_ Your men was not deep in despair__-o_ I deluded your sailors as well as yourself_ I'm a maiden again on the shore_ shore_ shore_ I'm a maiden again on the shore___ There is a young maiden_ she lives all a-lone_ She lived all a-lone on the shore__-ore_ There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind_ But to roam all a-lone on the shore_ shore shore_ But to roam all a-lone on the shore___

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui vit seule sur la côte, cherchant du réconfort dans ses errances le long de la mer. Un jeune capitaine en mer est si épris d'elle qu'il se sent prêt à tout sacrifier pour la ramener à bord de son navire. Malgré sa richesse, il se rend vite compte qu'elle lui a joué un tour. Une fois en sécurité sur le bateau, elle le dépouille de ses biens et regagne la terre ferme, retrouvant ainsi sa liberté. Le contexte met en lumière les thèmes de l'amour, de la tromperie et de l'indépendance, illustrant le jeu des émotions entre ceux qui naviguent et ceux qui restent sur le rivage. La mer, à la fois symbole d'aventure et de danger, souligne la fragilité des relations humaines.
