Fools
Deep Purple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You fool no one
Waiting to see if I'm gone
So hard to see
You are taking your chances with me
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do
Better run if you see me comin', ah
Soon, you will fall
Making mistakes like before
When you tell me lies
I can see by the look in your eyes
If you think you're gonna take me for granted
Chasin' round with all you see
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah

You fool no one
Waiting to see if I'm gone
So clear to see
You've had all your chances with me
You thought that you could take me for granted




But I couldn't take it no more
Better run when you see me comin', ah

Композиция из пятого студийного альбома (Fireball 1971) британской рок-группы Deep Purple.
Звучит тревожная гитара под легкое цоканье ударных, потом она уступает место органу, слышен тихий протяжный вокал, поющий «Я плачу, я умираю». Мы явно чувствуем, что имеем дело с затишьем перед бурей, однако эта самая «гроза» все равно начинается весьма неожиданно, когда жесткий риффинг взрезает воздух под пронзительный вокал. После второго припева начинается инструментал – под шуршащий звук перкуссий Ричи играет на гитаре виолончельным смычком. Спустя несколько минут в дело вновь вступает жесткий риффинг и мощный вокал – лирический герой высказывает мысль, что люди могут быть лучше. В конце этой композиции долгий рев органа (или это гитара?).
Я плачу, я умираю...

Я вижу, что со мной не так,
Это в моей голове.
Я вижу, что будет,
Лежа в своей постели.
Человечество — не мое братство,
Я из мертвых.
Я умер также, как я жил, любил и родился,
На каком-то отдаленном холме.
Причины прятаться были причинами моего плача.
Дураки проходят мимо, продолжая смеяться.

Я вижу, что там во всех может быть плохая кровь,
Это в моем мозгу.
Вы не знаете боли, которую я чувствую,
От того, что я должен жить снова.
Скалы и камни не могут ушибить мою душу, но
Слезы оставят пятно.
Они улыбаются сами себе, как они кладут мою голову
На какой-то отдаленный холм.
Слепые и дети стирают слезы со воих глаз,
Дураки улыбаются тому, как они убивают.

Я обрел мой собственный путь, чтобы идти,
и сейчас я хочу забрать ваши умы.
Я верю, если вы могли видеть
Кровь между линиями,
Я верю, вы могли быть лучше.
Пожалуйста, укажите путь, такой, чтоб нерожденный мог играть
На каком-то более зеленом холме.
Смех, как пламя, съедает их, сжигая, а сам остается,
Дураки умирают, продолжая смеяться.

I'm crying I'm dying
I can see what's wrong with me
It's in my head
I can see what's gonna be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still
There can be bad blood in all I can see
It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill
I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still

This is a song you need to hear only once to remember it a lifetime. Nothing else sounds like it, truly unique. Dramatic vocal delivery.
