Tekst piosenki

I want to tell you a story
Once upon a time
There were five young guys
Hanging in and out of Newcastle,
Playing Rhythm and Blues
They had nothing to lose
They didn’t need that tin-pan hassle
Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born
Shocking the heart of the nation
Sign of the times
A new search in life
Start of a new rock generation
From day one to kingdom come
I’d do it all again
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I’m all right now
All right now, baby
Twenty years ago we were children of war
But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat
There were rockers and mods,
We didn’t take it too hard
We had blue suede shoes on our feet
A revolution in France and James Brown’s dance
A new world coming our way
We’d talk that talk in the streets of New York
And never looked back to this day
From day one to the risin' sun
I’ll do it all again
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I’m all right now
All right, all right, all right
Yeah, yeah, all right, whoa baby
We were flippin' and trippin'
And rockin' and rollin'
And generally havin' a ball
For the price of a drink
There was no time to think about the morality of it all
There was freaks and queens and love-ins and has-beens
Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos
A psychedelic explosion in slow motion,
Dr Strangelove’s bomb
From day one to the risin' sun
I’ll do it all again (whoa, oh, oh)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I’m all right now
All right, all right,
Yeah, yeah,
All right, all right,
I’m all right now...
(Jackson-Clark, Burdon, Bastow)

Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki

Chcę ci opowiedzieć historię.
ONCE upon A time
Było pięciu młodych facetów.
"Hanging in and out of Newcastle",
Playing Rhythm and Blues
Nie mieli nic do stracenia.
Nie potrzebowali tego tin-pan.
Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born
Shocking the heart of the nation
Sign of the times
Nowe poszukiwania w życiu
Początek nowej generacji rocka
From day one to kingdom come
I ' d do it all again
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I ' m all right now

Dwadzieścia lat temu byliśmy dziećmi wojny.
But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat
Byli rockers i mods,
Nie wzięliśmy tego zbyt ciężko.
Mieliśmy niebieskie zamszowe buty na stopach.
Rewolucja we Francji i taniec Jamesa Browna
A new world coming our way
Rozmawialiśmy o tym na ulicach Nowego Jorku.
And never look back to this day
From day one to the risin ' sun
I ' ll do it all again
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I ' m all right now
/ Align = "left" /
Yeah, yeah, all right, whoa baby
We were flippin'and trippin'
And rockin'and rollin'
And general havin ' a ball
"For the price of a drink"
Nie było czasu na myślenie o moralności tego wszystkiego.
Były świry, królowe, zakochane i przeszłe
Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos
Psychodeliczna eksplozja w zwolnionym tempie,
Bomba doktora Strangelove ' a
From day one to the risin ' sun
I ' ll do it all again (whoa, oh, oh)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh)
But I ' m all right now

Yeah, yeah,
/ Align = "left" / ,
Nic mi nie jest...
(Jackson-Clark, Burdon, Bastow)
