Across the Borderline

Willie Nelson

Transposer:

There's a place where I've been told Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the border line And when it's time to take your turn Here's a lesson that you must learn You could lose more than you'll ever find When you reach the broken promised land And every dream slips through your hands Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind Cause you've paid the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Up and down the Rio Grande A thousand footprints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Who's the next to cross the borderline Hope remains when pride is gone And it keeps you moving on Calling you across the borderline When you reach the broken promised land And every dream slips through your hands Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind Cause you've paid the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline And you're still just across the borderline Cause you've paid the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the border line And you're still just across the border line

Cette chanson évoque le rêve d'un endroit idéal, où tout semble glorieux, mais elle met aussi en garde contre les illusions qui peuvent s'y cacher. Le protagoniste réalise qu'en cherchant ce lieu tant désiré, il risque de perdre davantage qu'il ne pourrait jamais gagner. Au fil de son voyage, il fait face à des défis et à des désillusions, et se rend compte que les rêves peuvent s'évanouir. C'est une réflexion sur le sacrifice et le prix à payer pour atteindre ses aspirations, tout en soulignant que la quête de sens et d'espoir perdure, même face à l'adversité.
