Seven Spanish Angels

Willie Nelson

Transposer:

He looked down into her brown eyes and said "Say a prayer for me".  She Threw her arms around him whispered "God will keep us free" They could hear the riders comin' He said "This is my last fight...If they Take me back to Texas they won't Take me back a-live. There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun. They were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun. When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne And seven spanish angels took a-nother angel home. She reached down and picked the gun up that lay smokin in his hand. She said "Father please forgive me; I can't make it without my man." And she knew the gun was empty And she knew she couldn't win But her final prayer was answered When the rifles fired again. There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun. They were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun. When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne And seven spanish angels took a-nother angel home. There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun. They were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun. When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne And seven spanish angels took a-nother angel home. (x2)

La chanson évoque une histoire d'amour tragique entre deux personnes qui se trouvent plongées dans l'angoisse d'un conflit imminent. L'homme, conscient que ce pourrait être son dernier combat, demande à sa bien-aimée de prier pour lui, tandis qu'elle, déterminée et éperdue, s'accroche à la foi et à l'espoir de leur liberté. À travers le récit, des anges espagnols apparaissent, symbolisant la protection divine, priant pour ces amants dans un contexte de guerre et de violence. Le cadre se situe dans une vallée marquée par la violence des combats, où le bruit des armes et la menace de la mort sont omniprésents. La chanson traite de la passion, du sacrifice et de la foi en des temps incertains, montrant comment l'amour peut transcender même les situations les plus désespérées. Les anges deviennent le lien spirituel entre le monde des vivants et celui des défunts, apportant une note d'espoir et de rédemption dans cette atmosphère sombre.
