[Música] Letras/Líricas

[frnk th tnk]

Não sei o que acham disto mas estava a ler a letra da "Californication" com olhos de ler e achei genial e pensei em criar um tópico para partilha e discussão de letras de música, o que acham? Pegamos no incentivo do Bob Dylan ganhar o nobel da literatura e tudo. :mrgreen:

 

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Californication"

 

Psychic spies from China

Try to steal your mind's elation

Little girls from Sweden

Dream of silver screen quotations

And if you want these kind of dreams

It's Californication

 

It's the edge of the world

And all of western civilization

The sun may rise in the East

At least it settles in the final location

It's understood that Hollywood

Sells Californication

 

Pay your surgeon very well

To break the spell of aging

Celebrity skin is this your chin

Or is that war you're waging?

 

[Chorus:]

First born unicorn

Hard core soft porn

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

 

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world

Be my very own constellation

A teenage bride with a baby inside

Getting high on information

And buy me a star on the boulevard

It's Californication

 

Space may be the final frontier

But it's made in a Hollywood basement

Cobain can you hear the spheres

Singing songs off station to station

And Alderaan's not far away

It's Californication

 

Born and raised by those who praise

Control of population everybody's been there and

I don't mean on vacation

 

[Chorus:]

First born unicorn

Hard core soft porn

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

 

Destruction leads to a very rough road

But it also breeds creation

And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar

They're just another good vibration

And tidal waves couldn't save the world

From Californication

 

Pay your surgeon very well

To break the spell of aging

Sicker than the rest

There is no test

But this is what you're craving

 

[Chorus:]

First born unicorn

Hard core soft porn

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

Dream of Californication

[Gonzalo Teixeira]

Excelente tópico e música, acho bastante interessante. "Mantendo-me na Califórnia", deixo aqui a letra de uma das minhas músicas preferidas e que me faz cantar como um louco no carro ou em qualquer lado, basicamente.

 

Eagles - Hotel California

 

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

 

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell

Then I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say

 

"Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year

(Any time of year)

You can find it here"

 

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

 

So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine"

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say

 

"Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They're living it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

(What a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis"

 

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice

And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"

And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

 

Last thing I remember I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive

You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"

Uma que gosto muito:

 

 

Before you slip into unconsciousness

I'd like to have another kiss

Another flashing chance at bliss

Another kiss, another kiss

 

The days are bright and filled with pain

Enclose me in your gentle rain

The time you ran was too insane

We'll meet again, we'll meet again

 

Oh tell me where your freedom lies

The streets are fields that never die

Deliver me from reasons why

You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

 

The crystal ship is being filled

A thousand girls, a thousand thrills

A million ways to spend your time

When we get back, I'll drop a line

[El Shafto]

Quando se fala disto surge-me logo esta:

 

Antes da letra, o pequeno resumo do Genius a explica-la:

 

“Only One” is the first song released by Kanye West since his sixth studio album Yeezus. It’s an R&B song co-produced by Sir Paul McCartney and sung from the perspective of Kanye’s late mother, Dr. Donda West as she looks down on her son from Heaven.

 

 

Kanye West - Only One ft. Paul McCartney

 

[Verse 1]

As I lay me down to sleep

I hear her speak to me

Hello 'Mari, how ya doin'?

I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'

I know you're happy, cause I can see it

So tell the voice inside ya head to believe it

I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel

And look at all that he gave you

You asked for one and you got two

You know I never left you

Cause every road that leads to heaven's right inside you

So I can say

 

[Hook]

Hello, my only one, just like the mornin' sun

You'll keep on risin' 'til the sky knows your name

Hello my only one, remember who you are

No you're not perfect but you're not your mistakes

 

[Verse 2]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, the good outweighs the bad even on your worst day

Remember how I'd say

Hey hey one day, you'll be the man you always knew you could be

And if you knew how proud I was

You'd never shed a tear, have a fear, no you wouldn't do that

And though I didn't pick the day to turn the page

I know it's not the end every time I see her face, and I hear you say

 

[Hook]

Hello my only one, remember who you are

You got the world cause you got love in your hands

And you're still my chosen one

So can you understand? One day you'll understand

 

[bridge]

So hear me out, hear me out

I won't go, I won't go

No goodbyes, no goodbyes

Just hello, just hello

And when you cry, I will cry

And when you smile, I will smile

And next time when I look in your eyes

We'll have wings and we'll fly

 

[Hook]

Hello my only one, just like the mornin' sun

You'll keep on risin' 'til the sky knows your name

And you're still my chosen one, remember who you are

No you're not perfect but you're not your mistakes

 

[Outro]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori ab-

I just want you to do me a favor

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me

Tell Nori about me, tell Nori about me

Tell Nori about me...

 

Em grande parte porque acho a música merdosa, mas a letra é incrível.

Nas - Dance

 

I dream of the day I can go back to when I was born

Laying in your arms, wishing you was here today, Mom

Wish you'd appear, just for a second from Heaven

My tears would be gone, I wouldn't be rapping this song

I'd be happy driving up to your eight bedroom mansion

Up late, laughing about the hard times we faced

The galaxy is so enchanting beyond, Galileo's understandin'

Past the Milky Way and all the planets

There's something out there greater, but only God knows

Scientists claim we came from apes, but they lies though

That was part of our conversation

I spark one up and start blazin'

Thinking of how amazing she was, an angel gave me love

I'm thankful to ever know a woman so real

I pray when I marry, my wife'll have one of your skills

But, Mom, you could never be replaced

I'd give my life up just to see you one more day, to have…

 

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

Praying, wishing that I could have

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

 

I wish you were here, I miss you more each second I breathe

You resting in peace, forever, I accepted you free

A blessing to me, I see you dressed in all white

Smiling at me, happy knowing everything's all right

If only I could hear your voice and your laughter

Just one more time, my chest would be filled up with sunshine

April 7th '02, that's when the gates of Heaven opened up

For you to stroll through, beautiful Anne Jones

Job is done, raising ghetto kids in the hood

You was my strength to carry on, and now I'm good

Job well done, you lived through your sons and grandchildren

Jesus finally got his bride, Mommy, dance with him

And you've been my guide through all the trouble I faced

They playing our song, the life-beat, my hand on your waist

I grab your other hand, I'm trying not to step on your toes

Spin you around with my eyes closed, dreaming I can have…

 

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

Praying, wishing that I could have

One more dance with you, Momma

If I could only have

One more dance with you, Momma

 

I love you forever, mom

You will always live through me, always

 

 

O Nas lançou esta música uns meses após a morte da sua mãe, dedicando-lha. Muito tocante, na minha opinião.

[B. Pamela]

era giro haver mesmo discussão das letras, significados e assim, mas só funciona se for tipo 1 letra por dia ou assim, não?

 

eu apanho-me muitas vezes no songmeanings portanto, boa iniciativa :)

[Apocalypse Now]

Bob Dylan - "Gotta Serve Somebody"

 

You may be an ambassador to England or France

You may like to gamble, you might like to dance

You may be the heavyweight champion of the world

You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

It may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

Might be a rock'n' roll adict prancing on the stage

Might have money and drugs at your commands, women in a cage

You may be a business man or some high degree thief

They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

You may be a state trooper, you might be an young turk

You may be the head of some big TV network

You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame

You may be living in another country under another name.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

You may be a construction worker working on a home

You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome

You might own guns and you might even own tanks

You might be somebody's landlord you might even own banks.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride

You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side

You may be working in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair

You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk

Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk

You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread

You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed.

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

It may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

 

You may call me Terry, you may call me Jimmy

You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy

You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray

You may call me anything but no matter what you say.

 

You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
