Paroles – Eric Clapton – Layla (Unplugged)

La chanson « Layla » d’Eric Clapton a été initialement publiée en 1970 par Derek and the Dominos, un supergroupe composé de Clapton, du batteur Jim Gordon, du bassiste Carl Radle et du claviériste Bobby Whitlock. L’inspiration pour la chanson « Layla » est venue de l’amour non partagé de Clapton pour Pattie Boyd, qui était mariée à son ami George Harrison des Beatles. Layla est un chef-d’œuvre de rock classique, mêlant émotion intense et virtuosité musicale.

See if you can spot this one

What will you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
You’ve been running, hiding much too long
You know it’s just your foolish pride

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation
Your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don’t say we’ll never find a way
Tell me all my love’s in vain

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

(Yeah, yeah)

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

(Yeah, yeah)

[Guitar solo]

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees
Layla, you’re begging, darling, please
Layla, darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?

[Outro]

Thank you
