Lyrics & Translation

English

This will teach them how to groove

All right, let's get aquatinted

(hello there)

music from the bass perspective

this is a journey into sound

a journey which along the way will to bring you

new color, new diminution, new values

and a new experience - stereophonic sound

(and now ladies and gentlemen, our feature act tonight)

(Stop!)

(Get it, get it, get it!)

Come on, Come on, Come on

That was the harpsichord

now-a-days, most homes seem to prefer

the television or radio, to the harpsichord,

but you still hear the piano, all the time

a flute couldn't do that

these are some of the difficulties

with being a disposition and talking to you

and just wanting really deeply to relate to you

and touch you - not physically - but with vibration

(ha ha ha ha)

never heard metal sound like that before

the drummer is the heartbeat

everything comes from him

he is the beat, the time, the heartbeat

it's just like a heart pumping blood

to the rest of the body

he is the heartbeat of a band, a group

he is the heartbeat

I think around midpoint in my career

I started to experiment with sounds

and then it became very important to

get a distinctive sound

maybe if I spend more time practicing,

eventually I can get it together

Um - here's some more music

All right! Here we go!

Now were going to use a little power kicks

like I showed you before

we're going to chuck-em real good

A-minor to F

just like all the heavy metal guys use, okay

lets get some of that smoke just like on MTV

yeah! all right!

music - all right

yeah! all right!

would you say that again

yeah! all right!

let's play a note

yeah! all right!

Here's some more music

yeah! all right!

get a distinctive sound

We've covered a lot of ground, haven't we?

if there's a part of our story you don't understand

why don't you turn this record over

and start playing over again

over again

Esto les enseñará a moverse al ritmo

Muy bien, vamos a conocernos

(hola)

música desde la perspectiva del bajo

este es un viaje al sonido

un viaje que en el camino te traerá

nuevo color, nueva disminución, nuevos valores

y una nueva experiencia - sonido estereofónico

(y ahora damas y caballeros, nuestra actuación principal de esta noche)

(¡Alto!)

(¡Consíguelo, consíguelo, consíguelo!)

Vamos, Vamos, Vamos

Eso fue el clavecín

hoy en día, la mayoría de los hogares parecen preferir

la televisión o la radio, al clavecín,

pero aún se escucha el piano, todo el tiempo

una flauta no podría hacer eso

estas son algunas de las dificultades

de ser una disposición y hablar contigo

y solo querer muy profundamente relacionarme contigo

y tocarte - no físicamente - sino con vibración

(ja ja ja ja)

nunca antes había escuchado metal sonar así

el baterista es el latido del corazón

todo viene de él

él es el ritmo, el tiempo, el latido del corazón

es como un corazón bombeando sangre

al resto del cuerpo

él es el latido de una banda, un grupo

él es el latido del corazón

Creo que a mitad de mi carrera

empecé a experimentar con sonidos

y entonces se volvió muy importante

conseguir un sonido distintivo

quizás si paso más tiempo practicando,

eventualmente podré lograrlo

Um - aquí hay más música

¡Muy bien! ¡Aquí vamos!

Ahora vamos a usar unos pequeños golpes de poder

como te mostré antes

vamos a lanzarlos muy bien

La menor a Fa

justo como usan todos los chicos de heavy metal, ¿ok?

vamos a conseguir algo de ese humo como en MTV

¡sí! ¡muy bien!

música - muy bien

¡sí! ¡muy bien!

¿dirías eso de nuevo?

¡sí! ¡muy bien!

toquemos una nota

¡sí! ¡muy bien!

Aquí hay más música

¡sí! ¡muy bien!

conseguir un sonido distintivo

Hemos cubierto mucho terreno, ¿no?

si hay una parte de nuestra historia que no entiendes

¿por qué no le das la vuelta a este disco

y empiezas a tocar de nuevo

de nuevo
