The Great Apes

Lyrics Translation

She's a boxcar rollin' by
Like a black star in the sky
She's a failure once or twice
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice

Flowers fly when we grow old
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
She's an eagle out on the road
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a rain bird on the prowl
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
She's a forest that we burned
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned

Flowers fly when we grow old
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
She's a lynch mob on the street
Take another step and I will kill the beat

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
She's an image that we blurred
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

I just want the great apes to be free
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a boxcar rollin' by
Ela é um vagão passando
Like a black star in the sky
Como uma estrela negra no céu
She's a failure once or twice
Ela fracassou uma ou duas vezes
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Como um trailer girando sobre o gelo
Flowers fly when we grow old
As flores voam quando envelhecemos
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Cobras ficam drogadas, ou assim me disseram
She's an eagle out on the road
Ela é uma águia na estrada
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
Como o meu Beatle favorito que todos compraram e venderam
All my love and half my kisses
Todo meu amor e metade dos meus beijos
Superstar don't do the dishes
Superstar não lava a louça
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Agora venha, seu cowboy preguiçoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara ou coroa, mas não agora, garoto
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Ela é um pássaro da chuva à espreita
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Como um desejo de ser você mesmo que você não se permite
She's a forest that we burned
Ela é uma floresta que queimamos
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
Apenas um projeto para uma vida que nunca aprendemos
Flowers fly when we grow old
As flores voam quando envelhecemos
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Cobras ficam drogadas, ou assim me disseram
She's a lynch mob on the street
Ela é uma águia na estrada
Take another step and I will kill the beat
Como o meu Beatle favorito que todos compraram e venderam
All my love and half my kisses
Todo meu amor e metade dos meus beijos
Superstar don't do the dishes
Superstar não lava a louça
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Agora venha, seu cowboy preguiçoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara ou coroa, mas não agora, garoto
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
Ela é um ponto de ônibus, piano
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
Ela é uma vida de simulação que você pensou que era real
She's an image that we blurred
Ela é uma imagem que nós borramos
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
É uma pantera pixelizada, agora a deixe ronronar
All my love and half my kisses
Todo meu amor e metade dos meus beijos
Superstar don't do the dishes
Superstar não lava a louça
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Agora venha, seu cowboy preguiçoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara ou coroa, mas não agora, garoto
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
I just want the great apes to be free
Eu só quero que os gorilas sejam livres
She's a boxcar rollin' by
Ella es un vagón pasando
Like a black star in the sky
Como una estrella negra en el cielo
She's a failure once or twice
Ella es una falla una o dos veces
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Como un trailer fuera de control en hielo resbaloso
Flowers fly when we grow old
Las flores vuelan cuando nos hacemos viejos
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Las culebras se drogan, o eso he escuchado
She's an eagle out on the road
Ella es un águila en el camino
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
Como mi Beatle favorito que todo el mundo compró y vendió
All my love and half my kisses
Todo mi amor y besos a medias
Superstar don't do the dishes
La super estrella no lava platos
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Ven ahora, tú, vaquero perezoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara o sello, pero no ahora mismo, chico
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Ella es un ave de lluvia, buscando
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Como una urgencia de ser tú mismo que no permitirás
She's a forest that we burned
Ella es un bosque que quemamos
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
Un plano para una vida que nunca aprendimos
Flowers fly when we grow old
Las flores vuelan cuando nos hacemos viejos
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Las culebras se drogan, o eso he escuchado
She's a lynch mob on the street
Ella es una muchedumbre linchando en la calle
Take another step and I will kill the beat
Toma otro paso y yo mataré al ritmo
All my love and half my kisses
Todo mi amor y besos a medias
Superstar don't do the dishes
La super estrella no lava los platos
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Ven ahora, tú, vaquero perezoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara o sello, pero no ahora mismo, chico
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
Ella es una parada de bus, glockenspiel
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
Ella es una simulación de la vida que pensaste era real
She's an image that we blurred
Ella es una imagen que difuminamos
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
Es una pantera pixelada, ahora déjala ronronear
All my love and half my kisses
Todo mi amor y besos a medias
Superstar don't do the dishes
La super estrella no lava platos
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Ven ahora, tú, vaquero perezoso
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Cara o sello, pero no ahora mismo, chico

Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
I just want the great apes to be free
Yo solo quiero que los simios grandes sean libres
She's a boxcar rollin' by
Elle est un wagon de train qui roule
Like a black star in the sky
Comme une étoile noire dans le ciel
She's a failure once or twice
Elle a échoué une ou deux fois
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Comme une caravane qui perd le contrôle et glisse sur la neige étourdie
Flowers fly when we grow old
Les fleurs volent quand on vieillit
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Les serpents se défoncent, au moins, c'est ce qu'on m'a dit
She's an eagle out on the road
Elle est un aigle, là sur a route
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
Come mon Beatle préféré que tout le monde a acheté et vendu
All my love and half my kisses
Tout mon amour et la moitié de mes baisers
Superstar don't do the dishes
Une superstar ne fait pas la vaisselle
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Allez, là, espèce de cow-boy paresseux
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Pile ou face, mais pas maintenant, mon gars
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Elle est un oiseau de pluie en chasse
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Comme un besoin d'être soi-même qu'on ne permet pas
She's a forest that we burned
Elle est une forêt qu'on a brûlé
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
Juste les plans pour bâtir une vie qu'on n'a jamais appris
Flowers fly when we grow old
Les fleurs volent quand on vieillit
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Les serpents se défoncent, au moins, c'est ce qu'on m'a dit
She's a lynch mob on the street
Elle est une foule de lyncheurs dans les rues
Take another step and I will kill the beat
Fais un autre pas et je vais tuer l'instru
All my love and half my kisses
Tout mon amour et la moitié de mes baisers
Superstar don't do the dishes
Une superstar ne fait pas la vaisselle
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Allez, là, espèce de cow-boy paresseux
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Pile ou face, mais pas maintenant, mon gars
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
Elle est un arrêt de bus, glockenspiel
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
Elle est la simulation d'une vie que tu pensais être vraie
She's an image that we blurred
Elle est une image qu'on a brouillé
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
C'est une panthère pixélisée, maintenant, laisse-la ronronner
All my love and half my kisses
Tout mon amour et la moitié de mes baisers
Superstar don't do the dishes
Une superstar ne fait pas la vaisselle
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres

Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
I just want the great apes to be free
Je veux juste que les grands singes soient libres
She's a boxcar rollin' by
Sie ist ein Güterwagen, der vorbeifährt
Like a black star in the sky
Wie ein schwarzer Stern am Himmel
She's a failure once or twice
Sie ist ein Fehlschlag, ein oder zweimal
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Wie ein Anhänger, der sich auf schwindelerregendem Eis dreht
Flowers fly when we grow old
Blumen fliegen, wenn wir alt werden
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Schlangen werden high, so sagt man mir
She's an eagle out on the road
Sie ist ein Adler auf der Straße
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
Wie mein Lieblings-Beatle, den jeder kauft und verkauft
All my love and half my kisses
All meine Liebe und die Hälfte meiner Küsse
Superstar don't do the dishes
Superstar spült nicht ab
I just want the great apes to be free
Ich will nur, dass die großen Affen frei sind
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Komm schon, du fauler Cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Kopf oder Zahl, aber nicht jetzt, Junge
I just want the great apes to be free
Ich will nur, dass die großen Affen frei sind
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Sie ist ein Regenvogel auf Beutezug
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Wie ein Drang, du selbst zu sein, den du nicht zulassen willst
She's a forest that we burned
Sie ist ein Wald, den wir verbrannten
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
Nur eine Bauvorlage für ein Leben, das wir nie gelernt haben
Flowers fly when we grow old
Blumen fliegen, wenn wir alt werden
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Schlangen werden high, so sagt man mir
She's a lynch mob on the street
Sie ist ein Lynchmob auf der Straße
Take another step and I will kill the beat
Ein weiterer Schritt und ich töte den Beat
All my love and half my kisses
All meine Liebe und die Hälfte meiner Küsse
Superstar don't do the dishes
Superstar spült nicht ab
I just want the great apes to be free

Ich will nur, dass die großen Affen frei sind
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
Sie ist eine Bushaltestelle, Glockenspiel
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
Sie ist eine Lebenssimulation, von der du dachtest, sie sei real
She's an image that we blurred
Sie ist ein Bild, das wir verwischt haben
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
Sie ist ein verpixelter Panther, jetzt lass ihn schnurren
All my love and half my kisses
All meine Liebe und die Hälfte meiner Küsse

She's a boxcar rollin' by
È un treno merci che passa
Like a black star in the sky
Come una stella nera nel cielo
She's a failure once or twice
È un fallimento una o due volte
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Come una rimorchio che gira su ghiaccio vertiginoso
Flowers fly when we grow old
I fiori volano quando invecchiamo
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
I serpenti si sballano, o almeno così mi è stato detto
She's an eagle out on the road
È un'aquila sulla strada
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
Come il mio Beatle preferito, tutti hanno comprato e venduto
All my love and half my kisses
Tutto il mio amore e metà dei miei baci
Superstar don't do the dishes
La superstar non lava i piatti
I just want the great apes to be free
Voglio solo che le grandi scimmie siano libere
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Avanti adesso, pigro cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Testa o croce, ma non adesso, ragazzo
I just want the great apes to be free
Voglio solo che le grandi scimmie siano libere
She's a rain bird on the prowl
È un uccello della pioggia in agguato
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Come un bisogno di essere te stesso che non permetterai
She's a forest that we burned
È una foresta che abbiamo bruciato
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
Solo un progetto per una vita che non abbiamo mai imparato
Flowers fly when we grow old
I fiori volano quando invecchiamo
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
I serpenti si sballano, o almeno così mi è stato detto
She's a lynch mob on the street
È un'aquila sulla strada
Take another step and I will kill the beat
Fai un altro passo e fermerò il ritmo
All my love and half my kisses
Tutto il mio amore e metà dei miei baci

Testa o croce, ma non adesso, ragazzo
I just want the great apes to be free
Voglio solo che le grandi scimmie siano libere
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
È una fermata dell'autobus, glockenspiel
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
È una simulazione di vita che pensavi fosse reale
She's an image that we blurred
È un'immagine che abbiamo offuscato
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
È una pantera pixelata, ora lascia che faccia le fusa
All my love and half my kisses
Tutto il mio amore e metà dei miei baci
Superstar don't do the dishes

She's a boxcar rollin' by
彼女はボックスカーのように転がっていく
Like a black star in the sky
空に浮かぶ黒い星のように
She's a failure once or twice
彼女は一度や二度の失敗わけじゃない
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
目もくらむような氷の上で回転するトレーラーのように
Flowers fly when we grow old
僕たちが年をとるとき花が飛ぶんだ
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
ヘビはハイになるんだって、それかそう教えられただけ
She's an eagle out on the road
彼女は旅に出る鷲だ
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
僕の好きなビートルズのように誰もが買っては売るんだ
All my love and half my kisses
僕のすべての愛と半分のキスたち
Superstar don't do the dishes
スーパースターは皿洗いなんかしないよ
I just want the great apes to be free
僕はただ偉大な類人猿を自由にしたいだけさ
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
さあおいで、怠け者のカウボーイ
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
表か裏か、だが今はダメだ、いいか
I just want the great apes to be free
僕はただ偉大な類人猿を自由にしたいだけさ
She's a rain bird on the prowl
彼女は彷徨う雨の鳥さ
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
自分らしく生きることを許さない衝動のように
She's a forest that we burned
彼女は僕らが燃やした森なんだ
Just a blueprint for a life that we never learned
僕たちが学ばなかった人生の図面さ
Flowers fly when we grow old
僕たちが年をとるとき花が飛ぶんだ
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
ヘビはハイになるんだって、それかそう教えられただけ
She's a lynch mob on the street
彼女は路上のリンチ集団だ
Take another step and I will kill the beat
もう一歩踏み出せば、鼓動を殺してやるさ
All my love and half my kisses
僕のすべての愛と半分のキスたち
Superstar don't do the dishes
スーパースターは皿洗いなんかしないよ
I just want the great apes to be free
僕はただ偉大な類人猿を自由にしたいだけさ

She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
彼女はバス停、グロッケンシュピール
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
彼女は君が本物だと思ったシミュレーション人生なんだ
She's an image that we blurred
彼女は僕たちがぼかした映像なんだ
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
それはピクセル化されたパンサーで、さあ、鳴かせてみよう
All my love and half my kisses
僕のすべての愛と半分のキスたち
Superstar don't do the dishes
スーパースターは皿洗いなんかしないよ
I just want the great apes to be free
