Un, one, um, uno...

Je ne peux m’empêcher de profiter de la sortie de leur nouvel album pour évoquer un monument : la chanson One de U2.
Rien à ajouter, tout y est.

Cette chanson est aux relations humaines ce que l’ondulation est au Yoseikan Budo de Maître Hiroo Mochizuki : un concept fédérateur.

Chapeau bas Messieurs.

Pour les étourdis inexcusables, voici le texte :

U2 - One

Words By Bono

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you,
Now you got someone to blame ?

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus,
To the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One
