Jolene, rewritten (to Noreen)
17.11.2019
rozhovor dvou žen
Známou písničku od Doly Parton Jolene jsme všichni slyšeli alespoň v rádiu. Ti, co se pozorněji zaměřili na text, si možná všimli, jak moc je žena v písni zaměřená na krásu Jolene. Prosí ji, aby jí nebrala muže, ale většinu písně je uchvácená její krásou. Kaštanovými vlasy, smaragdově zelenýma očima a slonovinovou pletí.
Jak by na to Jolene odpověděla? Její odpověď je napsaná na stejnou melodii a řeší pár zásadních otázek.
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
Noreen
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen
my Dear, please let's not fight about that man
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen
Let me tell you something, if I can
You're smart and kind and oh so brave
your glamor is beyond compare
your soft laugh makes my hounded soul serene
I don't visit just for the tea
you seem so thrilled when you're with me
Why do you care for him so much, Noreen?
And please I need you to understand
That I do not care for any man
while I hold you close to my heart, Noreen
I dream about the things so sweet
I wake up with joy from my sleep
With your name on my lips my dear, Noreen
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen
My Dear, let's forget that tedious man.
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen,
Let me tell you something if I can
You can be with your chosen man
And I would love you all the same
Just don't push me away, please, my Noreen
I swear we can be just friends too
I gave you a heart and a dreaded true
So now do what you deem to do, Noreen
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen
Trust me I'll love you better than that man
Noreen, Noreen, Noreen, Noreen
Meeting you that was a divine plan
Noreen, Noreen
