Tekst piosenki:
My old man is a bad man
But I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples you
Sitting sipping on your black crystal yeah
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
‘Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing time again at Rikers Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth ready for you
My old man is a tough man
But he’s got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat brokedown life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me
Admires me, the way I roll like a rolling stone
He likes to watch me in the glass room
Bathroom Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my makeup
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
Says it feels like heaven to him
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
‘Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing time again at Rikers Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Yo I'm off to the races
Laces, leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's Basement
Love you but I'm going down
God I'm so crazy, baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlot, starlet, queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town, sorry 'bout it
My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him til the end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us
Take him when he may if he may
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you
They would rue the day I was alone without you
You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar hanging from your lips
I said, "Hun, you never looked so beautiful as you do now my man"
And we’re off to the races, places, ready set the gate is
Down and now we’re going in
To Las Vegas, chaos, casino oasis
Honey it is time to spin
Boy you’re so crazy baby
I love you forever not maybe
You are my one true love
You are my one true love

Moim zdaniem tu chodzi o to że nie bierze w czymś udziału
"Light of my life, fire in my loins" powinno byc tłumaczone jako "Światłości mojego życia, ogniu moich lędźwi".
Przetłumaczenie tego inaczej nie jest błędem, ale jest to bardzo popularny cyatat z książki Nabokova
i właśnie w ten sposób został tam przetłumaczony.
Druga sprawa to fragment "The way I roll like a rolling stone", który nie ma nic wspólnego z zespołem Stonesów;)
Rolling stone to związek frazeologiczny, który brzmi dokładnie "A rolling stone gathers no moss", czyli
"Tocząy się kamień nie porasta mchem". Rolling stone to określenie człowieka, który ciągle zmienia swoje
miejsce pobytu, nie zapuszcza korzeni i żyje beztrosko - taki trochę włóczykij. Dlatego ten fragment proponowałabym przetłumaczyc jako "Sposób w jaki włóczę się, jak toczący kamień", albo coś tego pokroju.
