Kula Shaker 의 <Hey Dude>

60년대부터 시작된 싸이키델릭과 인도의 인연이
지금 내가 좋아하는 음악들의 상당부분을 차지하고 있다

쿨라 쉐이커 Kula Shaker  는 영국산 밴드이다.
이 <Hey Dude>는 1996년 앨범 <K>에 있는 곡인데,
이 앨범에는 산스크리트어에 시타가 쓰였고
앨범 자켓에는 푸른 피부를 가진 인도신의 이미지가 있다

이정도면 상당히 전형적인 견적이 나오긴 하지만
그래도 이들은 인도가 가지고 있는 이미지를 따오는 부류 중에선 최고인 것 같다
'전형적'이라는 것이 문제가 될 때는
그것의 내용이 형편없을 때 뿐이다
곡이 좋으면
스토리가 좀 전형적인들 어때

Hey Dude                               by Kula Shaker (1996)



All I have is all I need
enough for love but not for greed yeah
I was younger once this guy came to me
told me about all the honey out there

He said honey gold jewels money women
wine cars that shine
I don't know what he was talking about
But I think I had an idea

He said, smell the rose, sweet sweet rose,
catch the sun, find where it grows,
Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose
that grows on castle walls in heaven
In heaven yeah

Well if it feels like summer
you're catching the sun,
And I'm catching the moment you fall

If it tastes like honey
don't swallow it all
Don't wait for the moment to come
And catch the sun

Hey dude, don't lean on me man
cause I'm losing my direction
and I can't understand
No no

Hey dude, well I do what I can
But you treat me like a woman
when I feel like a man

I was crossing the city one day
everybody was flashing by me
Like images of tombstones,
images of tombstones

On a Friday night
I've seem everybody looking for their little bit of honey
to alleviate the pain
to alleviate the pain

Well if it feels like summer, don't burn in the sun
Don't wait for the evening fall
If it tastes like honey, don't swallow it all
Don't wait for the moment to come - and catch the sun

No, no no no no no

When I feel like a man!

Hey dude....
