Dont Blame The Young

The Divine Comedy

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] No matter how they taunt you you musn’t blame the young for being very beautiful and having so much fun they dance around in discotheques they sing salacious songs they prance about on playing fields with next to nothing on they don’t see the hidden dangers that keep the old indoors they all want to be famous though they don’t know what for they do not fear the sting of life for they’ve yet to be stung so don’t blame the young [Chorus] teachers don’t give them too much homework parents don’t give them a hard time for soon they’ll be stressing bout their own work and dreaming of the lives and loves they left behind [Verse 2] so even though they flaunt it please don’t blame the young for seeming quite undaunted By the shape of things to come They’re wedded to their mobiles You cant turn the damn thing on But don’t blame the young [Bridge] [Chorus] teachers don’t give them too much homework parents don’t give them a hard time for soon they’ll be stressing bout their own work and dreaming of the lives and loves they left behind [Verse 3] so even when they tell you "you just dont know what its like to be this young and virile this fervor full of life" resist the overwhelming urge to punch them in the face screaming "I would give you every penny I have ever made to take your place" Cause you know that they won’t listen the young never do they will live forever they will never be like you and with advances in genetics who are we to say they’re wrong No don’t blame the young you can pity them but dont blame the young

Cette chanson évoque la beauté et l’insouciance de la jeunesse, tout en appelant à la compréhension de ses comportements souvent jugés naïfs ou imprudents. Elle souligne que les jeunes, en pleine célébration de la vie, ne réalisent pas encore les dangers qui les guettent. Les paroles encouragent la bienveillance des adultes, que ce soit les enseignants ou les parents, en leur rappelant que bientôt ces jeunes devront affronter leurs propres responsabilités et les défis de la vie. Le ton est un mélange de mélancolie et d'humour, illustrant la distance entre les générations et la tendance des jeunes à se croire invincibles.
