Frankly, Mr. Shankly

STEVEN MORRISSEY, JOHNNY MARR

Lyrics Translation

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
I want to leave, you will not miss me
I want to go down in musical history

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
I've got the twenty first century breathing down my neck
I must move fast, you understand me
I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly

Fame, fame, fatal fame
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
But still I'd rather be famous
Than righteous or holy
Any day, any day, any day

But sometimes I feel more fulfilled
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
I want to live and I want to love
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul
Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask
You are a flatulent pain in the ass
I do not mean to be so rude
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly

Oh, give us your money

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
Francamente, Sr. Shankly, esta posição que ocupo
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
Paga as minhas contas, e corrói a minha alma
I want to leave, you will not miss me
Eu quero sair, você não vai sentir a minha falta
I want to go down in musical history
Eu quero entrar para a história da música
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
Francamente, Sr. Shankly, eu sou um naufrágio repugnante
I've got the twenty first century breathing down my neck
Tenho o século vinte e um respirando no meu pescoço
I must move fast, you understand me
Eu preciso me mover rápido, você me entende
I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly
Eu quero entrar para a história do cinema, Sr. Shankly
Fame, fame, fatal fame
Fama, fama, fama fatal
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
Pode pregar truques horrendos na mente
But still I'd rather be famous
Mas ainda assim, eu preferiria ser famoso
Than righteous or holy
Do que justo ou santo
Any day, any day, any day
Qualquer dia, qualquer dia, qualquer dia
But sometimes I feel more fulfilled
Mas às vezes me sinto mais realizado
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
Fazendo cartões de Natal com os mentalmente doentes
I want to live and I want to love
Eu quero viver e eu quero amar
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of
Eu quero pegar algo do qual eu possa me envergonhar

I want to go down in musical history
Quiero pasar a la historia musical
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
Francamente, Sr. Shankly, soy un desastre nauseabundo
I've got the twenty first century breathing down my neck
Tengo el siglo veintiuno respirando en mi nuca
