New York Is A Woman (acoustic)

Suzanne Vega

Transposer:

verse 1 New York City spread herself before you With her bangles and her spangles and her stars You were impressed with the city so undressed You had to go out cruising all the bars verse 2 Your business trip extended through the weekend Suburban boy here for your first time From the 27th floor above the midtown roar You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime And she’s every girl you’ve seen in every movie Every dame you’ve ever known on late night TV In her steam and steel is the passion you feel Endlessly verse 3 New York is a woman she’ll make you cry And to her you’re just another guy Look down and see her ruined places Smoke and ash still rising to the sky She’s happy that you’re here but when you disappear She won’t know that you’re gone to say goodbye And she’s every girl you’ve seen in every movie Every dame you’ve ever known on late night tv In her steam and steel is the passion you feel Desperately verse 4 New York is a woman she’ll make you cry And to her you’re just another guy

La chanson évoque l'expérience d'un homme découvrant New York, une ville qui se dévoile à lui avec toute sa beauté et sa complexité. Il est complètement émerveillé par ses attraits, mais il ressent aussi une forme de désillusion en réalisant qu'il n'est qu'un parmi tant d'autres pour elle. Les images de la ville mêlent glamour et ruines, soulignant son caractère saisissant et parfois amer. À travers cette métaphore, New York est présentée comme une femme puissante et fascinante, capable de faire vibrer des émotions intenses tout en restant indifférente à ceux qui passent.
