Don't Let the Old Man in

Willie Nelson

Transposer:

Don't let the old man in I wanna live me some more Can't leave it up to him He's knocking on my door I knew all of my life That someday it would end Get up and go outside Don't let the old man in Many moons I have lived My body's withered and worn Ask yourself how old you'd be If you didn't know the day you were born Try to love on your wife And stay close to your friends Toast each sundown with wine And don't let the old man in Many moons l have lived My body's withered and worn Ask yourself how old you'd be If you didn't know the day you were born When he rides up on his horse You feel that cold bitter wind Look out your window and smile And don't let the old man in Look out your window and smile Don't let the old man in

La chanson évoque le défi de ne pas se laisser abattre par la vieillesse et les épreuves du temps. Elle invite à continuer à vivre pleinement, à profiter des petites choses de la vie, et à garder son esprit jeune, même lorsque le corps montre des signes d'usure. Il y a un véritable appel à la présence et à l'amour des proches, à savourer les instants du quotidien, comme lever un verre au coucher de soleil. Dans le contexte actuel, où beaucoup ressentent la pression du temps qui passe, ces paroles résonnent comme un encouragement à rester actif et engagé, à n'accepter aucune fatalité, même lorsque la vieillesse fait son apparition. C'est un message d'espoir et de résistance face aux défis que l'on peut rencontrer en avançant en âge.
