Lyrics and translation John Lennon feat. The Plastic Ono Band - How Do You Sleep? - Take 1 / Raw Studio Mix




How Do You Sleep? - Take 1 / Raw Studio Mix
Comment dors-tu ? - Prise 1 / Mixage studio brut
What? (Did you change it?)
Quoi ? (Tu l'as changé ?)
Not so far, when we hear it
Pas tant que ça, quand on l'entend
So, I want you all go get on it
Alors, je veux que vous vous y mettiez tous
Bam-bam-bam-bam
Bam-bam-bam-bam
Bam-bam-bam-bam
Bam-bam-bam-bam
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Bam-bam-bam-bam, tiss
Yeah, okay, let's go from the top, then
Ouais, d'accord, on reprend depuis le début, alors
(The bass, rhythm instruments, you know, not too heavy...)
(La basse, les instruments rythmiques, tu sais, pas trop lourds...)
What, who are the basic rhythm instruments?
Quoi, quels sont les instruments rythmiques de base ?
I just meant like the rhythm guitars, bass, the drums, just-, you know, straight (yeah, yeah)
Je voulais juste dire les guitares rythmiques, la basse, la batterie, juste, tu sais, droit (ouais, ouais)
Otherwise, it gets jammy
Sinon, ça devient trop improvisé
Okay, one, two, a-one, two, three, four
D'accord, un, deux, a-un, deux, trois, quatre
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
Alors Sgt. Pepper t'a pris par surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Tu ferais mieux de voir clair à travers les yeux de cette mère
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
Ces cinglés avaient raison quand ils disaient que tu étais mort
The big mistake you made was in your head
La grosse erreur que tu as faite était dans ta tête
Oh, how do you sleep?
Oh, comment dors-tu ?
Oh, how do you sleep at night?
Oh, comment dors-tu la nuit ?
You live with straights who told you, you was king
Tu vis avec des coincés qui t'ont dit que tu étais roi
Jump when your momma tell you anything
Sauter quand ta maman te dit n'importe quoi
The only thing you done was yesterday
La seule chose que tu as faite était hier
Since you've gone, you're just another day
Depuis que tu es parti, tu n'es qu'un jour de plus
Whoa, how do you sleep, brother?
Whoa, comment dors-tu, mon frère ?
Oh, how do you sleep at night?
Oh, comment dors-tu la nuit ?
(Hit it)
(Vas-y)
No, no, no, no, no
Non, non, non, non, non
See you're emphasizing, then
Tu vois, tu insistes, alors
You're throwing everybody off, so start again
Tu perturbes tout le monde, alors recommence
I wanna get you to try and do it, so that I don't have to sing the solo
Je veux que tu essayes de le faire, pour que je n'aie pas à chanter le solo
Do it from George's solo
Fais-le à partir du solo de George
One, two, a-one, two, three, four
Un, deux, a-un, deux, trois, quatre
But pretty soon you'll see what they can do
Mais bientôt tu verras ce qu'ils peuvent faire
You must have learned something in all those years
Tu dois avoir appris quelque chose pendant toutes ces années
Ba-da-da
Ba-da-da
Oh, how do you sleep?
Oh, comment dors-tu ?
Oh, how do you sleep at night?
Oh, comment dors-tu la nuit ?
A pretty face may last a year or two
Un joli minois peut durer un an ou deux
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
Mais bientôt ils verront ce que tu peux faire
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
Le son que tu fais est du muzak à mes oreilles
You must have learned something in all those years
Tu dois avoir appris quelque chose pendant toutes ces années
Oh, how do you sleep, brother?
Oh, comment dors-tu, mon frère ?
Oh, how do you sleep at night?
Oh, comment dors-tu la nuit ?
Nicky!
Nicky !
Pretty soon, they'll see what you can do
Bientôt, ils verront ce que tu peux faire
All those years
Toutes ces années
Oh, this is the fade out
Oh, c'est le fondu
How do you sleep at night?
Comment dors-tu la nuit ?
(Tiss, tiss, tiss)
(Tiss, tiss, tiss)
(What's that?)
(Qu'est-ce que c'est ?)
That's me trying to emphasize an off beat that I think it should go
C'est moi qui essaie d'accentuer un temps faible, je pense que ça devrait aller
Oh, dah, dah, dah, do you sleep?
Oh, dah, dah, dah, dors-tu ?
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Tiss, bah, ooh
Tiss, bah, ooh
(Sounds great when you do that, you fatten them up)
(Ça sonne bien quand tu fais ça, tu les enrichis)
With me voice, you mean? (I'm wonderin') yeah, but I'm-, I'll
Avec ma voix, tu veux dire ? (Je me demande) ouais, mais je-, je vais
(You can but it sound-, well, you could 'cause we got two other tracks)
(Tu peux, mais ça sonne-, eh bien, tu pourrais parce qu'on a deux autres pistes)
Yeah, I see, I see
Ouais, je vois, je vois
Oh, bah, tiss, dah, do you sleep at night
Oh, bah, tiss, dah, dors-tu la nuit ?
Tiss, dah, dah, dah
Tiss, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, oh
Dah, dah, dah, oh
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, you know, what's the sound like?
Dah, tu sais, quel est le son ?
(What you been doing with it "tiss", that was one)
(Ce que tu as fait avec "tiss", c'était un)
Yeah, I know (but nobody's doing that now)
Ouais, je sais (mais personne ne fait ça maintenant)
Yeah, do you-, do you think you can do it on the cymbal, Alan?
Ouais, penses-tu que tu peux le faire à la cymbale, Alan ?
(I mean, nobody's doing an accent on that beat) yeah (going down)
(Je veux dire, personne ne met l'accent sur ce temps) ouais (en descendant)
I know, I know, that's why I was hinting in the earphones
Je sais, je sais, c'est pour ça que je faisais des allusions dans les écouteurs
