The Beatles GLASS ONION (Lennon/McCartney)
album
THE BEATLES (White Album) выпуск 30.11.1968г.

Вас в "земляничный край" приглашал,
Как нереален он, объяснял.
Куда идти б вы не собрались,
Везде течёт жизнь.
Поглядев в изгиб тюльпанов,
Узрите пол-жизни другой,
В луковку стекла взглянув.

Я о морже в себе говорил - вам,
Что скрыт во всех он нас, объяснил - вам.
Я вас к другой разгадке привёл -
Моржом-то был Пол.
С ножницами так же мечась - да,
Леди Мадонна концы сводить собралась - да,
В луковку стекла взглянув.

О, да, о, да, о, да,
В луковку стекла взглянув.

Вам про глупца с холма говорил,
Что всё живёт он там, как и жил.
И где бы не пришлось вам бывать,
Должен сказать -
Даже дыру в океане
Можно тоже залатать - да,
В луковку стекла взглянув.
I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the walrus and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was paul.
Standing on the cast iron shore-yeah
Lady madonna trying to make ends meet-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me.
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

GLASS ONION
СТЕКЛЯННАЯ ЛУКОВИЦА
(JOHN LENNON/PAUL McCARTNEY)
Записана 11,12,13,16 сентября, 10 октября 1968г.
"Glass Onion", так же как и "I Am The Walrus", была написана Джоном Ленноном в
качестве его ответа критикам и поклонникам, решившим, что они нашли святые мощи
в некоторых его наиболее авангардных лирических фантазиях. "В этой песне я
написал, что "Морж" принадлежит Полу, - объяснял Джон много лет спустя. - В то
время мы с Йоко еще находились на заоблачных высотах любви, поэтому мне просто
захотелось сказать что-то приятное Полу: ты здорово старался все эти годы,
поддерживая наши отношения. Я подумал: у меня есть Йоко, а ты можешь взять себе
авторство". Среди отличительных черт "Glass Onion"- намеренно примитивные слова,
жгучий вокал Леннона и печальный струнный финал, контрастирующий с духом
композиции. (Джон Робертсон "Полный путеводитель по музыке БИТЛЗ")

"Glass Onion" ("Стеклянная луковица"), песня эта - прикольная. Джон ее сочинил, адресовав всем критикам и всем комментаторам, которые пытались анализировать каждое слово в песнях "Beatles". Тут все свалено в кучу: "земляничная поляна", "глупец на горке", "лэди мадонна"... Тут же едкая фраза Леннона - а вот вам и подсказка."

THE BEATLES (White Album) 11/30/1968

I was invited to the "strawberry land",
How unrealistic he is, explained.
Where to go if you weren’t going to
Life flows everywhere.
Looking into the bend of tulips
See half the life of another
Looking at the onion glass.

I talked about walrus in myself - to you,
What is hidden in all of us, he explained to you.
I brought you to another clue -
Walrus was Paul.
Tossing with scissors as well - yes,
Lady Madonna was about to make ends meet - yes,
Looking at the onion glass.

Oh yes oh yes oh yes,
Looking at the onion glass.

I told you about a fool from a hill,
That he lives there, as he did.
And wherever you go,
Gotta say -
Even a hole in the ocean
You can also patch it - yes,
Looking at the onion glass.
I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the walrus and me-man
You know that we're as close as can be-man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was paul.
Standing on the cast iron shore-yeah
Lady madonna trying to make ends meet-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

Oh yeah oh oh yeah oh yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me.
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

GLASS ONION
GLASS BULB
(JOHN LENNON / PAUL McCARTNEY)
Recorded September 11,12,13,16, October 10, 1968
Glass Onion, like I Am The Walrus, was written by John Lennon in
as his answer to critics and fans who decided that they had found holy relics
in some of his most avant-garde lyric fantasies. "In this song I
wrote that Walrus belongs to Paul, John explained many years later. - At that
Yoko and I were still at the sky-high heights of love, so I just
I wanted to say something nice to Paul: you tried hard all these years,
maintaining our relationship. I thought: I have Yoko, and you can take yourself
authorship. "Among the distinctive features of Glass Onion are intentionally primitive words,
Lennon’s burning vocals and sad strings ending contrasting with the spirit
composition. (John Robertson "The Complete Beatles Music Guide")

"Glass Onion", the song is cool. John composed it, addressing all critics and all commentators who tried to analyze every word in the Beatles songs. Here everything is piled up: "strawberry glade", "fool on a hill", "Lady Madonna" ... There’s Lennon’s caustic phrase - and here’s a hint. "
