L'union sacrée du dialogue anachronique de deux "amantes" musicales

Il y a des moments où la vie est riche de découvertes musicales. Je cherche sans arrêt, trouve, ou pas. Peu importe. Mais là, j'en ai deux, deux chansons que je trouve absolument sublimes et qui donnent, à l'écoute détaillée des paroles, une impression de dialogue... Un genre de réponse à l'autre. Quelques années d'écart séparent ces titres, découvertes en même temps, dans un contexte plutôt favorable, cette subtile originalité méritait bien publication.

Donc, le plus simple... Que je mette les chansons et les paroles (que je ne traduirai pas parce qu'il est tard et que demain j'ai un gros audit qui m'attend), et que chacun, par ses prouesses en anglais se fasse une idée...

Première chanson: la personne qui ne peut oublier quelqu'un et attend désespérément de ses nouvelles en sachant très bien que... ben non, il n'y aura pas de nouvelles... Rythme un peu lourd, on sent la douleur... Mesdames et Messieurs, please welcome Blakroc featuring Nikki Wray in Why can't I forget him! Le titre parle de lui même!...

I got the song
Knock out everyone
'Cause I'm down here
I need you
But we're through
And you don't come around, do you?
Tried to be cool, actin' a fool, waitin' around
For a phone but I don't hear a sound

Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?

The city streets
Won't let me sleep
'Cause everybody's watchin' me
Rather be dead than
Face was ahead
Stranded out on the street
Tried to be cool, actin' a fool, waitin' around
For the phone but I don't hear a sound

Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?
Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?

Et la deuxième chanson, pas vraiment une réponse, mais il faut imaginer la personne en face penser tout fort ce qu'elle dit! Magique! Elle, elle dit, OK, restons amis, mais c'est fini passe à autre chose... A force de m'étouffer et de me courir après, je vais m'éloigner encore plus! La vie quoi! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I am happy to introduce you to Belleruche with their Northern Girls! (Mention spéciale, elle est compatriote, et ça! C'est un plus!)

Keep on telling you
Keep trying to get through
That big old head
Seems to be wasted breath

What more can I say
I'm not in love with you
Let it go let it go
And I'll be kind to you

I tried the simple things
Didn't return your calls
I was busy every day
Never any time at all

But you needed a bigger clue
I got town 'cause I didn't want to hurt you
But you keep pushing, keep pushing me away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

Tried to be a friend
Wasn't out to offend
Well I love being with you
Suppose that why you got confused

I thought that we made it clear
I was never to change my mind
You've become so precious dear
But you've got to leave this behind

One day I hope you find
Someone who loves you too
So you'll let me be
And you'll forget you've ever had

A bruised and broken heart
That can't forgive and can't forget
Driving us both spare and mad
Well you're driving me away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

Keep trying to get closer
Keep trying to get a hold of
Keep on trying, you're driving me away
Keep trying to get closer
Keep trying to get a hold of
Keep on trying, you're driving me away
Oh you're driving me away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

You keep on hounding me
Keep on finding me
You keep on trying me
I can't get away

Keep trying to get closer
Keep trying to get a hold of
Keep on trying
You're driving me away

Keep trying to get closer
Keep trying to get a hold of
Keep on trying
You're driving me away
Oh, you're driving me away

Erm... voilà. Tout le monde revivra certainement ces moments d'un côté ou de l'autre, parce qu'on a tous été bourreau des cœurs un jour ou l'autre, ou victime de bourreau...

Enjoy!
