Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river 00:11
You can hear the boats go by 00:18
You can spend the night beside her 00:22
And you know that she's half crazy 00:25
But that's why you want to be there 00:29
And she feeds you tea and oranges 00:33
That come all the way from China 00:36
And just when you mean to tell her 00:39
That you have no love to give her 00:43
Then she gets you on her wavelength 00:47
And she lets the river answer 00:50
That you've always been her lover 00:54
And you want to travel with her 01:00
And you want to travel blind 01:04
And you know that she will trust you 01:07
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind 01:11
And Jesus was a sailor 01:22
When he walked upon the water 01:25
And he spent a long time watching 01:29
From his lonely wooden tower 01:32
And when he knew for certain 01:36
Only drowning men could see him 01:39
He said "All men will be sailors then 01:43
Until the sea shall free them" 01:47
But he himself was broken 01:50
Long before the sky would open 01:54
Forsaken, almost human 01:57
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone 02:01
And you want to travel with him 02:11
And you want to travel blind 02:15
And you think maybe you'll trust him 02:18
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind 02:22
Now Suzanne takes your hand 02:33
And she leads you to the river 02:36
She is wearing rags and feathers 02:40
From Salvation Army counters 02:43
And the sun pours down like honey 02:47
On Our Lady of the Harbour 02:51
And she shows you where to look 02:55
Among the garbage and the flowers 02:58
There are heroes in the seaweed 03:02
There are children in the morning 03:05
They are leaning out for love 03:09
And they will lean that way forever 03:12
While Suzanne holds the mirror 03:16
And you want to travel with her 03:22
And you want to travel blind 03:26
And you know you can trust her 03:30
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind 03:33

Paroles:

[English]

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she's half crazy

But that's why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to give her

Then she gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you know that she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water

And he spent a long time watching

From his lonely wooden tower

And when he knew for certain

Only drowning men could see him

He said "All men will be sailors then

Until the sea shall free them"

But he himself was broken

Long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him

And you want to travel blind

And you think maybe you'll trust him

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Now Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you to the river

She is wearing rags and feathers

From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey

On Our Lady of the Harbour

And she shows you where to look

Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed

There are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love

And they will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you know you can trust her

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Grammaire:

  • You can hear the boats go by

    ➔ Infinitif nu après les verbes de perception (hear, see, feel, watch)

    ➔ Ici, 'go' est un infinitif nu (sans 'to') qui suit le verbe 'hear'. Cette construction met l'accent sur l'expérience directe d'entendre les bateaux passer. C'est équivalent à 'You can hear the boats *going* by', où 'going' est un participe présent, ce qui suggère une action continue.

  • And you know that she's half crazy

    ➔ Utilisation de la contraction "she's"

    ➔ "She's" est une contraction de "she is". Les contractions sont courantes dans la langue parlée et écrite informelle.

  • And just when you mean to tell her

    ➔ Utilisation idiomatique de 'mean to'

    ➔ 'Mean to' suivi d'un verbe indique une intention. Cela signifie 'intend to'. Dans ce cas, 'you mean to tell her' signifie 'you intend to tell her'.

  • That you've always been her lover

    ➔ Passé Composé Continu (you have always been)

    ➔ Le Passé Composé Continu ('you've always been') met l'accent sur le fait que quelque chose a commencé dans le passé et s'est poursuivi jusqu'à présent. Il indique une situation à long terme ou une action répétée. 'You *have* always *been* her lover' suggère un état continu du passé jusqu'à maintenant.

  • For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

    ➔ Passé composé 'you've touched'

    ➔ L'utilisation du passé composé 'you've touched' indique une action terminée dans le passé qui a une pertinence pour le présent. Il met l'accent sur le *résultat* du toucher – la connexion profonde – plutôt que sur l'action elle-même.

  • Only drowning men could see him

    ➔ Verbe modal 'could' exprimant la capacité dans le passé.

    ➔ 'Could' est utilisé pour exprimer la capacité passée de le voir. Cela signifie que seuls ceux qui se noyaient pouvaient le voir.

  • Until the sea shall free them

    ➔ Utilisation de 'shall' pour le futur (moins courant que 'will')

    ➔ 'Shall' est un auxiliaire utilisé pour exprimer le futur, en particulier dans les contextes formels ou avec 'I' et 'we'. Bien que moins courant que 'will', il ajoute un sentiment de détermination ou de prophétie ici.
