Текст песни Paul McCartney - You Tell Me

Ah one, two, three.

When was that summer when the skies were blue,
Когда же это было – лето, синее небо,

The bright red cardinal flew down from his tree,
Ярко-красная птица кардинал слетает со своего дерева,

You tell me.
Ты скажи мне.

When was that summer when it never rained,
Когда же это было – лето без единого дождя,

The air was buzzing with the sweet old honey bee,
Воздух гудит вместе со сладкозвучной старой медоносной пчелой,

Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.

Were we there, was it real?
Мы там были, это было в действительности?

Is it truly how I feel?
Это на самом деле то, что я чувствую?

Maybe, you tell me.
Возможно, ты скажи мне.

Were we there, is it true?
Мы там были, это правда?

Was I really there with you?
Я действительно был там вместе с тобой?

Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.

When was that summer of a dozen words,
Когда же это было – лето, дюжина слов,

The butterflies and humming birds flew free,
Бабочки и колибри свободно летают,

Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.

Let's see, you tell me.

«Я начал писать эту песню, вспоминая о лете. «Мы там были, это правда?». Иногда для большинства людей воспоминания, особенно детские воспоминания, выглядят такими золотыми, что ты начинаешь думать: «Правда ли в те времена летом никогда не лил дождь или я лишь воображаю эти солнечные моменты?». Вот так эта фраза, «Ты скажи мне», и стала темой песни. Я написал её, находясь на Лонг-Айленде во время как раз такого лета. Я часто наблюдал за красным кардиналом (это такая яркая ярко-красная птица, которая встречается в тех местах). Для многих англичан это подобно волшебству - увидеть ярко-красную птицу, перелетающую с ветки на ветку. Эта песня стала посвящением тем золотым летним денькам».
«‘You Tell Me’ - возможно, самая грустная песня из всех, когда-либо им написанных», - говорит Дэйвид Кан. Этот, в основном, акустический трек открывается проигрываемым назад и вперёд органом, в то время как Лабориэл исполняет отбивку на ударных, перемежающуюся с несколькими сэмплами. Вокал Маккартни был записан с одного захода и дополнен прекрасными голосами участников группы. Проигрываемый назад и вперёд орган, использованный для создания настроения, следует сразу после тихого отсчёта Маккартни. «Я был по-настоящему счастлив, когда он позволил мне включить этот отсчёт. Это символ».

Ah One, Two, Three.

WHEN WAS THAT SUMMER WHEN THE SKIES WERE BLUE
When it was - summer, blue sky,

The Bright Red Cardinal Fleew Down From His Tree
Bright red bird cardinal flies from his tree,

You Tell Me.
You tell me.

WHEN WAS THAT SUMMER WHEN IT NEVER RAINED,
When it was - summer without a single rain,

The Air Was Buzzing With The Sweet Old Honey Bee,
Air buzzes together with a sweet old honey bee,

Let's See, You Tell Me.
Let's find out, you tell me.

WERE WE THERE, WAS IT REAL?
We were there, it was in reality?

Is it Truly Hower I FEEL?
Is it really what I feel?

Maybe, You Tell Me.
Perhaps you tell me.

WERE WE THERE, IS IT TRUE?
We were there, is it true?

Was I Really There With You?
I really was there with you?

Let's See, You Tell Me.
Let's find out, you tell me.

WHEN WAS THAT SUMMER OF A DOZEN WORDS,
When it was - summer, dozen words,

The Butterflies and Humming Birds Flew Free
Butterflies and hummingbirds fly freely,

Let's See, You Tell Me.
Let's find out, you tell me.

Let's See, You Tell Me.

"I started writing this song, recalling about summer. "We were there, this is true?". Sometimes for most people, memories, especially children's memories, look like gold, that you start thinking: "Is it true in those days in the summer never rained or I only imagine these solar moments?". That's how this phrase, "You tell me," and became the theme of the song. I wrote her while on Long Island during just such a summer. I often watched the red cardinal (this is such a bright bright red bird, which is found in those places). For many, the British is like magic - see a bright red bird flying from the branch to the branch. This song has become a dedication to those golden summer days. "
"'You Tell Me' is perhaps the saddest song of all ever written," says David Kan. This, mostly, the acoustic track opens back and forward by the body, while Laboriel performs a fold on drums, interspersed with several samples. McCartney's vocals was recorded from one navigation and complemented by the great voices of the group's participants. Playing back and forward the organ used to create a mood, immediately after the quiet reference McCartney. "I was truly happy when he allowed me to include this countdown. This is a symbol. "
