Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson) est un chanteur, musicien, compositeur, réalisateur, danseur et producteur américain de pop, funk, rock et R&B né en 1958 et mort en 2016. Son album Purple Rain est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs albums rock de tous les temps et s'est vendu à plus de 24 millions d'exemplaires à travers le monde.
J'ai découvert la chanson-titre de cet album lors de sa sortie en 1984 grâce à mon ami Richard alors que nous travaillions tous deux dans une salle de jeux électroniques à Québec.
Purple Rain
(version live)
1985
Musique, paroles et interprétation par Prince
I never meant to cause you any sorrow.
I never meant to cause you any pain.
I only wanted to one time see you laughing.
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain.
I never wanted to be your weekend lover.
I only wanted to be some kind of friend.
Baby I could never steal you from another.
It's such a shame our friendship had to end.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain.
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing.
It's time we all reach out for something new,
That means you too.
You say you want a leader,
But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close it,
And let me guide you to the purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
Purple rain, purple rain.
If you know what I'm singing about up here.
C'mon raise your hand.
Purple rain, purple rain.
I only want to see you, only want to see you.
