Arti dan Lirik Ray Davies - Back In The Front Room

Got back to the frontroom, Dave was plugged in to the green amplifier
Kembali ke ruang depan, Dave dimasukkan ke penguat hijau
Pete was on the bass, they sounded great
Pete ada di bass, terdengar hebat
Dave had this great way of playing the guitar
Dave memiliki cara bermain gitar yang hebat ini
The way Dave played was very individual
Cara Dave bermain sangat individual
I’d been overwhelmed by all the culture
Aku diliputi oleh semua budaya
Art School prays the life I’d never really understand
Sekolah Seni berdoa tentang kehidupan yang tak pernah saya pahami
I sat down and started to jam,
Aku duduk dan mulai kemacetan,
was astounded by the speed of Dave’s hands
tercengang melihat kecepatan tangan Dave
The way Dave played guitar was very similar to the way he spoke
Cara Dave bermain gitar sangat mirip dengan cara dia berbicara
Exactly
Persis
I thought to myself “This is the way it’s gonna be.
Saya berpikir sendiri “Begitulah jadinya.
I’m gonna join this band, leave college behind.
Aku akan bergabung dengan band ini, meninggalkan bangku kuliah.
Forget culture, rock ‘n’ roll is where it’s at”
Lupakan budaya, rock ‘n’ roll adalah tempat di “


And daytime was dawning
Dan siang hari fajar
We were up all night, we were all yawning
Kami bangun sepanjang malam, kami semua menguap
But we were playing, raving
Tapi kami bermain, mengoceh
Sometimes so loud, to the early morning
Terkadang sangat nyaring sampai pagi hari


Our friends keep knocking at the door
Teman-teman kita terus mengetuk pintu
The neighbours shouted out “No more”
Para tetangga berteriak “Tidak lebih”
They even sent the police around to hear us play
Mereka bahkan mengirim polisi berkeliling untuk mendengarkan kami bermain
And this is the way we played
Dan inilah cara kami bermain


We thought “If we could annoy all of the neighbours with the green amp
Kami pikir “Jika kita bisa mengganggu semua tetangga dengan green amp
think of what we could do with a four piece band”
pikirkan apa yang bisa kita lakukan dengan empat potong band “
But there was no doubt Dave was the star,
Tapi tidak ada keraguan bahwa Dave adalah bintangnya,
a connoisseur of the old twelve bar
penikmat dua belas bar tua
And even dad said “That boy is bloody marvelous”
Dan bahkan ayah berkata “Anak laki-laki itu sangat hebat”
As I said Pete was on the bass,
Seperti yang saya katakan Pete ada di bass,
so the only way I could SLY my way into the band
jadi satu-satunya cara aku bisa SLY jalan ke band
was to become the rhythm guitar player
adalah untuk menjadi pemain gitar ritme
While we were bouncing up and down
Sementara kami terpental naik turun
the house was shaking to the sound
Rumah itu bergetar mendengar suaranya
of the full distortion from the gramophone
dari distorsi penuh dari gramofon
We had stayed up playing all night long
Kami terus bermain sepanjang malam
ran out of other people’s songs
kehabisan lagu orang lain
so we started making music of our own
jadi kami mulai membuat musik sendiri


And dawn was breaking, my mind was calculating
Dan fajar menyingsing, pikiranku sedang menghitung
This time there’s no more waiting
Kali ini tidak ada lagi yang menunggu
I was awake, my mind was clear
Aku sudah bangun, pikiranku sudah jelas
I could see a way out of here
Aku bisa melihat jalan keluar dari sini


And then the cops knocked at the door
Dan kemudian polisi mengetuk pintu
with letters from solicitors
dengan surat dari pengacara
We’d disturb the peace and woke up all the neighbours
Kami akan mengganggu kedamaian dan membangunkan semua tetangga
But dad says “Forget the neighbours.
Tapi ayah bilang “Lupakan tetangga.
Keep playing, boys, keep playing”
Terus mainkan, anak laki-laki, teruslah main “
