Yellow Submarine
The Beatles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
Full steam ahead, Mister Boatswain, full steam ahead
Full steam ahead it is, Sergeant
(Cut the cable, drop the cable)
Aye-aye, sir, aye-aye
Captain, captain
As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)
Every one of us (every one of us)
Has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine (submarine, aha)
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who gave no heck
And he told us of a place
In the land of the titanic wreck
So we sailed up to the north
'Til we found the rust and green
And we imploded beneath the waves
In our homemade submarine
We all died in a homemade submarine
Homemade submarine, homemade submarine
We all died in a homemade submarine
Homemade submarine, homemade submarine
5 people are all aboard
None of us, are any poor
And the controller begins to game
We all died in a homemade submarine
Homemade submarine, homemade submarine
We all died in a homemade submarine
Homemade submarine, homemade submarine

My joy, red submarine утонула в 1991 году, сейчас субмарины бело-голубо-красные. Ферштейн?
And they don't sink! Never.
голубой синий
blue ? blue ?
Strange language you have, no specifics.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of Titanic submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of derbies
And we lived beneath the waves
In our Titanic submarine
We all live in a confined submarine
Titanic submarine, Titanic submarine
We all live in a White submarine
Titanic submarine, Titanic submarine
our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play.
