I'ma stick it out

Ciel pommelé, comme femme fardée, dure moins d'une journée...

Voici deux versions de la chanson Umbrella, chantée d'abord par la petite lyonnaise Pomme, puis par la chanteuse originale Rihanna, reine du RnB. A vous de choisir la meilleure version, mais pour moi il n'y a pas débat. La première m'envoûte à la première parole, m'entraine avec elle, capte tout mon sentiment. L'autre est une beauté plastique impeccable mais parée et dissimulée derrière ses paillettes.

   
 

La chanson est par ailleurs très belle :

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, ‘cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you, I'll always share

Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)

These fancy things
Will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay; don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh)

It's rainin', rainin'
Ooh, baby, it's rainin', rainin'
Baby, come here to me
Come into me
It's rainin', rainin'

Ooh, baby, it's rainin', rainin'
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pourin' rain
It's pourin' rain
Come here to me
Come into me

Rien à dire, c'est prenant. Sauf peut-être la propension infinie à contracter toujours plus les paroles : on avait déjà "I'm gonna" pour I am going to. Il y a maintenant I'ma pour la même chose. C'est ultra court. Mais l'émotion passe quand même, heureusement. I'ma stick it out pour Je vais y arriver. Ça le fait.

    au moins c'est en français, et avec la même voix irréelle.

    1. Joli morceau aussi en effet, où les anges convoqués par la voix de cette adolescente (d'où l'impression d'irréalité) captivent à ce point le public.
