Prodigal Son

The Rolling Stones

Transposer:

Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road Started down the road Took all he had and started down the road Going out in this world, where God only knows And that'll be the way to get along Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land Famine come in the land Spent all he had and famine come in the land Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man" And that'll be the way I'll get along Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine For to feed my swine I'll give you a job for to feed my swine" Boy stood there and hung his head and cried  Cause that is no way to get along Said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home Believe I'll go back home Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home Or down the road as far as I can go" And that'll be the way to get along Well, father said, "See my son coming after me Coming home to me" Father ran and fell down on his knees Said, "Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me" Mercy

La chanson évoque le parcours douloureux d'un jeune homme qui, après avoir quitté son foyer en quête d'aventure et de liberté, se retrouve confronté à la misère et à la solitude. Il dépense tout ce qu'il avait, ce qui le force à se rabaisser à des tâches humbles, comme s'occuper des cochons. Dans sa détresse, il décide finalement de retourner vers son père, cherchant réconfort et pardon à la maison. Le contexte est inspiré de la parabole du fils prodigue, qui souligne thèmes de la rédemption et de l'amour inconditionnel d'un père. Cette histoire nous rappelle que peu importe la distance parcourue ou les erreurs commises, il y a toujours une possibilité de retour et de réconciliation.
