Текст песни Medley: Monologue/(they Long To Be) Close To You - Original (Bobby Womack) с переводом

How are you?

I wonder if I can borrow about 10 minutes of your time?

Ya know how it is when you feel all alone

And you feel like you got to talk to somebody

I want to talk to you

Listen to me a minute

Sittin' here sippin' on a glass of wine

And I’m trying my best -- not to lose my mind

Not to lose my mind

You know, thinkin' about the word. huh, «commercial"--

It’s a funny, funny, funny word!

Ya' know what’s funnier than that --

You show people usin' --

You know what I’m talkin' about,

like, uhh, record companies, presdients,

vice presidents, producers --

and a little engineer

But, you know what? I feel -- down in my heart

I don’t care what it is --

If I can get into it, it’s commercial enough for me

But anyway, I remember just a little while back

I walked into a recording studio with just

me and my guitar

Huh --

I remember starting out on song

Sort of went something like this,

but other than that -- the same melody, anyway

The head man called in -- president,

Vice President, and just one of his producers --

and an engineer --

and an engineer --

Anyway, they all sit around

with their heads dropped down

while I was tryin to get over -- Heh

You could hear a pin fall

I know y’all know what I’m talking about --

And I’m steady trying to get over --

But anyway, after I got through doing my thing

Or should I say, doing the best that I could --

I’d never forget what they told me

One of the cats got up and say

«I like ya, but I’m ain’t sayin' that you can’t sing--»

And as they all began to leave the conference table

They kept saying

«Watchin' my commercial -- commercial

Commercial--

No, You’re not commercial!»

So, I went on out

Or, should I say, I «Souled Out»!

Like I’ve said before,

Music is Music, that’s how it is --

and that’s the way it is!

Well, I done changed my style,

because I still had the same heart ---

But, just like the man said,

He said «Bobby, It’s gotta be funky!»

Oooo hoooh, Uhhhhhh!!!

Yeaaahhh!

I came back and said, Now I wanna sing

something that I wanna sing -- a little song that says, uh

It says, Uhh --

Why do birds suddenly appear, ev’ry time you’re near?

Just like me, they long to be close to you, yeah --

Why do stars fall down from the sky, every time you walk by?

Just like me, can’t you see -- they just want to be close to you, yeah

Listen to me a minute --

Oh the day that you were born the angels got together.

And decided to create a dream come true

So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

Of gold, and star-light in your eyes

Of blue! blue!

Ohhhhhh!!!

That is why all the guys in town follow you

follow you around, follow you around, follow you around.

Just like me, they just want to be close to you

Weelllll --

Why do stars fall down from the sky, every time you walk by, yeeaahhh!

Just like me, -- they just want to be --

a little bit closer to you

Oh the day that you were born

-- The angels got together and decided to create a dream come true

Ohhhhhhhh --

So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair --

And I see rainbows when I look at you --

Ohhh Oh Oooh ohhhh Oh Oooh ohh!

That is why all the guys in town

Follow you -- you around

Just like me, they long to be -- closer to you

I think I got a reason to say aughhhhh!

Augggh ooh aughhh oooooh augh aughhh oooooh augh!

I wanna be closer to you!

Lemme say it one mooorrre time --

One more time --

I’ll go anywhere you want me to go --

Buy ya anything that you want me to buy!

And, Ohhhh, baby!

Awwww, baby!

I Gotta -- I gotta get a little closer to you!

Awwww!

Awww, Awww ohh Awww!

Yes, sir!

Sometimes I wake up all night long --
