The Divine Comedy

Transposer:

Intro verse 1 Let’s talk of Catherine the Great Let’s talk of love and the power of the state She was a crazy spontaneous girl Everyone paid homage to her verse 2 Catherine the Great There were few brainier Just ask the king of Lithuania She could dictate what went on anywhere She had great hair And a powerful gait Catherine the Great Catherine the Great verse 3 She could converse with the best She knew Voltaire Diderot and the rest She might have conquered a third of the world But inside she was a sensitive girl verse 4 Catherine the Great With her military might She could defeat anyone that she liked And she looked so bloody good on a horse They couldn’t wait For her to invade Catherine the Great Solo 1 Middle 8 Yekaterina Alekseyevna Yekaterina Alekseyevna Yekaterina Alekseyevna Yekaterina Alekseyevna Solo 2 Verse 5 Let’s talk of Catherine the Great Let’s talk of love and the power of the state If I could touch but the hem of her dress Tell her a joke Bake her a cake Catherine the Great

La chanson évoque la figure fascinante de Catherine II, souveraine de Russie, en mettant en avant son intelligence, sa beauté et son pouvoir. Elle était non seulement une dirigeante militaire redoutable, capable de conquérir de vastes territoires, mais aussi une femme cultivée qui échangeait avec des penseurs comme Voltaire et Diderot. Malgré son image de femme forte, elle avait un côté sensible et vulnérable. Le refrain récurrent souligne l'admiration que suscite sa personnalité, mêlant puissance, charme et une nostalgie d'une époque où l'on pouvait rêver de l'approcher.
