Adelita [4ème single de Tracks] sortie le 29 mai
On dirait une chanson mexicaine , j'aurais bien vu ça en bande son d'un western avec le cowboy qui part en solitaire sur son cheval au galop 😃
Je trouve pas mal du tout 👍
Le budget clip est en baisse.
Les paroles (avec "retour" vers une veine narrative à la Tom Joad)
In the High Sierras, camped were the soldiers
And a young soldada who valiantly fought Side-by-side with Francisco Villa,
Adelita I’m far from my home now a Texacan soldiers
It’s not for fortune or risk to the battlefield
I fight I fell in love with Adelita with my very soul
We’ll stand in arms this night She said “Johnny if I should die in battle
And my body be left in the Sierranea
My love, my love, in God’s name
Fight on and remember me
That my blood will not have been spilled in vain”
On horseback, a carbine full and at her side
Over her blouse, cartridges filled her bandoleras Side-by-side, into battle we rode Villistas, my Adelita We met the enemy in the Zamoran mountains
From their bullets many of our soldiers died
And wounded I lay fallen with my comrades
As Adelita stood above us Firing her rifle till the gunpowder turned her hand black
The sky was blue, ‘neath the cannon the earth trembled I watched as a bullet pierced my love’s side
She fell amidst the brothers and sisters Smoke and empty sky in her eyes
Adelita my love, Adelita my wife, Adelita my comrade, my life
They’ll remember your name, when freedom fills the Sierranea
I’ll remember the warmth of your skin against mine Tonight,
I lay in the mountains with the campesinos My mind at peace from the vows
I’ve made I know I’ll never see Texas again Your portrait
I carry deep in my breast pocket My rifle firing into the campaña,
I ride with you ‘round my heart Protected from this death by beauty
