Eastern Wind Words & Music by Chris de Burgh Intro: - - - - - Well my furrows are filled with corn I have my woman to keep me warm But there’s one thing that I do fear That Eastern wind is getting near There’s a shotgun beside my bed This is my country where I was born and bred But I am sure as the willow will grow That Eastern wind is going to blow Blowing a hole in my life Eastern wind Running away with my life Eastern wind;    There’s a woman who reads the stars She sees Warlords on the planet Mars And she said "Boy you’d better beware That restless wind is getting near Blowing a hole in your life Eastern wind Running away with your life Eastern wind..." They are coming they are coming they are coming look out! In my dream I saw a crowd       They were burning the palace down I saw a mad old man and I ran to the door And then that wind began to roar And when they come they’ll find me here I will not run they will not see my fear And I will fight to the very end Before that wind I will never bend If they’re blowing a hole in my life Eastern wind Oh running away with my life Eastern wind Taking the plough from my hands Eastern wind Taking every bit of my land Eastern wind...

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la peur d'un danger imminent, symbolisé par un vent venant de l'est. L'auteur parle de sa vie paisible, de son travail sur la terre et de sa compagne, mais il ressent une menace grandissante qui pourrait tout bouleverser. Une femme, capable de lire les étoiles, l'avertit du péril, soulignant l'agitation qui s'annonce. Le protagoniste exprime sa détermination à défendre son territoire face à cette tempête, prêt à affronter ses peurs et à protéger ce qu'il a construit. Le contexte semble refléter les tensions et les bouleversements qu'on peut ressentir dans des périodes de crise, où l'identité et les racines sont mises à l'épreuve. Cette lutte personnelle symbolise un combat universel contre les forces qui cherchent à détruire notre paix intérieure et notre stabilité.
