Summer in the City

The Lovin' Spoonful

Transposer:

Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on, come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till, I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But, at night, it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on, come-on and dance all night Despite the heat, it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Instrumental :               /               / Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But, at night, it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on, come-on and dance all night Despite the heat, it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Instrumental :               /               /               /                                (Ad Libitum)

Cette chanson évoque la chaleur étouffante d'un été en ville, où la journée est souvent accablante et où les gens semblent épuisés. Malgré cette ambiance accablante, arrive la nuit, qui apporte une toute autre atmosphère, propice à la fête et aux rencontres. Les personnages souhaitent profiter de ces soirées animées, en cherchant à danser et à trouver l'amour, tout en regrettant que les jours ne puissent pas offrir la même joie que les nuits. Le contexte se situe dans une ville en pleine canicule estivale, où les rues sont désertées pendant la journée, mais s'animées une fois la nuit tombée. C'est une danse entre l'agitation diurne et l'euphorie nocturne, soulignant le contraste entre la vitalité de la nuit et la fatigue du jour.
