A Boy From Nowhere

Tom Jones

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] The nights grow cold My search for gold is leading nowhere Whichever lonely road I take It seems to go nowhere It’s a fight to survive just until tomorrow How can I display what I know I’m worthy of When they turn me away [Chorus 1] The doors are closed to such as I A boy from nowhere But not to those who merely buy the right to go where They’ll be met with respect not humiliation A man’s place on earth I have come to realize is decided by birth [Pre-Chorus 1] So what’s the future No matter where I go I will still belong in Andalusia Where we don’t know where The next penny’s coming from Something’s wrong [Chorus 2] I’m bound to Spain I won’t remain A boy from nowhere There has to be a place for me And I must go there I don’t fantasize unlike a million others Who must bow and scrape For my one means of escape Is to flourish a cape [Verse 2] I’ll fight all odds And fight the Gods if they oppose me I have to win I won’t give in No one who knows me would expect me to fail For the want of trying Not a man alive Had to beg or steal or fight More than me to survive [Pre-Chorus 2] So what’s the future No matter where I go I will still belong in Andalusia Where good honest men grow weak And the rich grow strong Something’s wrong [Chorus 3] Another dawn another boy A boy from nowhere My destiny will guarantee And I must go there It’s a fight to survive just until tomorrow One more mouth to feed And the way things are ’round here That’s the last thing they need [Outro]

La chanson évoque le parcours difficile d'un jeune homme qui se sent marginalisé et en quête de reconnaissance. Il traverse des épreuves dans une société où les portes restent fermées pour ceux qui n'ont pas de statut privilégié. Son identité et ses aspirations sont constamment confrontées à l'indifférence des autres, et il lutte pour prouver sa valeur, en dépit des obstacles liés à sa condition sociale. Le ton résilient montre sa détermination à ne pas se laisser enfermer par son origine. Dans le contexte plus large, on peut sentir la lutte entre les classes sociales, la nécessité de se battre pour sa dignité et l'envie d'un avenir meilleur. Le protagoniste se raccroche à ses racines andalouses, révélant un fort attachement à son héritage, tout en cherchant désespérément sa place dans un monde qui semble lui tourner le dos.
