Close to Me
Simon & les Modanais Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm afraid they'll take it away
But when I hold you close to me
Everything changes
I know what matters most to me
Is that you're in my arms
But I suppose I'm worried it will
But when I hold you close to me
Everything changes
I know what matters most to me
Is that you're in my arms
It seems to me, that love is suspended
Like a dream you have when you sleep
But when I hold you close to me
Everything changes
I know what matters most to me
Is that you're in my arms
In the lyrics of Simon & Garfunkel's song "Hold Me Now," the singer expresses their vulnerability and fear of losing the things they believe in. They hold on tightly to their beliefs, but are afraid that they might be taken away. However, when they hold someone they love close to them, everything changes. The presence of their loved one becomes the most important thing to them, providing a sense of security and happiness.
The singer acknowledges the impermanence of happiness and expresses worry that it might come to an end. Yet, when they are embraced in the arms of someone they love, everything shifts. The singer understands that what truly matters to them is having that person in their life. Love, to the singer, feels somewhat unreal and fleeting, like a dream experienced during sleep. But in those moments of connection, when they hold their loved one close, everything becomes real and meaningful.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hold Me Now" convey the human desire for connection, the fear of loss, and the transformative power of love in bringing comfort and changing perspectives.

Dans un coin perdu de montagne
Un tout petit savoyard
Chantait son amour dans le calme du soir
Près de sa bergère au doux regard
Étoile des neiges, mon cœur amoureux
S'est pris au piège, de tes grands yeux
Je te donne en gage, cette croix d'argent
Et de t'aimer toute ma vie, je fais serment
Hélas, soupirait la bergère
Que répondront nos parents
Comment ferons-nous, nous n'avons pas d'argent
Pour nous marier dès le printemps
Étoile des neiges, sèche tes beaux yeux
Le ciel protège les amoureux
Je pars en voyage, pour qu'à mon retour
À tout jamais, plus rien n'empêche notre amour
Et quand les beaux jours refleurirent
Il s'en revint au hameau
Et sa fiancée l'attendait tout 1à-haut
Parmi les clochettes des troupeaux
Étoile des neiges, les garçons d'honneur
Vont en cortège portant des fleurs
Par un mariage finit mon histoire
De la bergère et de son petit savoyard

E TOILE DES NEIGES, très jolie chanson que je chante et que je chantais très jeune avec mon grand-père maternel car il chantait et jouait de la musique.

On chantait ça en classe de neige, et j'en suis tombée amoureuse. Avec l'accompagnement à la guitare par le prof, c'était simplement magique.
