Henry, come on
Paroles:
[English]
I mean, Henry, come on
Do you think I'd really choose it
All this off and on
Henry, come on
I mean, baby, come on
Do you think I'd really lose it on ya
If you did nothin' wrong
Henry, come on
Last call, hey, y'all
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Soft leather, blue jeans
Call us into void's dreams
We turn it but say it was fun
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it struck me just like lightning
I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
Yesterday, I heard God say, "You were born to be the one
To hold the hand of the man
Who flies too close to the sun"
I'll still be nice to your mom
It's not her fault you're leavin'
Some people come and they're gone
They just fly away
Take your ass to the house
Don't even bother explainin'
There's no workin' it out
No way
His last call, hey, y'all
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Come on and giddy up
Soft leather, blue jeans
Don't you get it? That's the thing
You can't chase a ghost when it's gone
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it's not because of you
That I turned out so dangerous
Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
And it struck me just like lightning
I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
But yesterday, I heard God say, "You were born to be the one
To hold the hand of the man
Who flies too close to the sun"
All these country singers
And their lonely rides to Houston
Doesn't really make for the past
You know, settle down, darling
His last call, "Hey, y'all"
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Last call, "Hey, y'all"
Hang his hat up on the wall
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
Go on and giddy up
Go on and giddy up
Go on and giddy up
Hey

Grammaire:
-
Do you think I'd really choose it
➔ Phrase conditionnelle (Type 2) : situation hypothétique.
➔ Utilise le subjonctif passé ('I'd choose') pour exprimer un choix hypothétique. Implique que l'orateur ne choisit pas réellement « cela ».
-
If you did nothin' wrong
➔ Double négation (non standard) : "nothin' wrong" au lieu de "anything wrong".
➔ C'est une façon de parler familière/informelle. En anglais standard, ce devrait être "If you didn't do anything wrong". La double négation souligne l'absence de faute.
-
Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
➔ Discours indirect.
➔ La phrase rapporte ce que quelqu'un devrait dire à « lui ». Le « that » est facultatif dans le langage courant.
-
We turn it but say it was fun
➔ Utilisation de 'but' pour contraster deux actions.
➔ Bien que l'action décrite soit négative (« turn it »), l'orateur affirme que le résultat est resté positif. Cela met en évidence la nature rebelle du chanteur.
-
It's not her fault you're leavin'
➔ Omission de 'que' dans une proposition.
➔ Le 'que' est compris mais omis : "It's not her fault *that* you're leaving." Courant dans le langage parlé et écrit informel.
-
You were born to be the one To hold the hand of the man Who flies too close to the sun
➔ Propositions relatives (who, to)
➔ "Who flies too close to the sun" est une proposition relative qui modifie 'the man', ajoutant plus d'informations sur lui. Le 'to' dans 'to hold' fait partie de la phrase verbale infinitive, indiquant un but.
-
Doesn't really make for the past
➔ Verbe à particule 'make for' signifiant 'contribuer à' ou 'créer'.
➔ La phrase exprime que les scénarios décrits (les voyages solitaires des chanteurs country) ne contribuent pas ou ne créent pas un sentiment de « passé » (peut-être un passé romancé ou souhaité).
