Judy Collins - Anathea CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] Lo lo lo____ [Verse 1] Lazlo Feher stole a stallion Stole him from the Misty Mountain And they chased him and they caught him And in iron chains they bound him [Verse 2] Word was brought to Anathea That her brother was in prison "Bring me gold and six fine horses I will buy my brother’s freedom" [Verse 3] "Judge oh Judge please spare my brother I will give you gold and silver" "I don’t want your gold and silver All I want are your sweet favours" [Verse 4] "Anathea oh my sister Are you mad with grief and sorrow? He will rob you of your flower And he’ll hang me from the gallows" [Verse 5] Anathea did not heed him Straightway to the judge went running In his golden bed at midnight There she heard the gallows groaning [Verse 6] "Cursed be that judge so cruel Thirteen years may he lie bleeding Thirteen doctors cannot cure him Thirteen shelves of drugs can’t heal him [Verse 7] "Anathea Anathea Don’t go out into the forest There among the green pines standing You will find your brother hanging" [Outro] Lo lo lo____

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire tragique d'Anathea, qui apprend que son frère a été emprisonné après avoir volé un cheval. Déterminée à le sauver, elle se rend auprès du juge pour obtenir sa libération, prêt à tout offrir pour lui. Malheureusement, le juge se montre cruel et ne réclame pas d'argent, mais des faveurs personnelles, ce qui met Anathea dans une situation désespérée. Malgré les mises en garde de son frère, elle poursuit son chemin, ignorant les dangers. La chanson évoque ainsi des thèmes de l’amour fraternel, de la trahison et de la souffrance, illustrant la désespoir face à l'autorité.
