We are the people

Postby chezmobobbins » Tue Feb 17, 2009 8:01 pm

Thought I would start a topic for it, because i love it so much and would like to hear other people who do too.

I had to go to a spanish translation website to fully understand the subtitles,
I only know "dora the explorer" spanish LOL
though i wasn't far off with "water is life" that was fairly obvious in the imagery.
Anybody else disappointed when it ends so suddenly.( ow! it finished!)

Is this right?

es este el camino a la diosa?
Is this the way to the goddess?

estas escarbando un pozo?
Are you digging a hole?

Si. Es para usted.
Yes, it is for you.

esto es la muerte?
This is death?

Agua es vida.
Water is Life.

Nosotros somos la gente.
We Are the People.

Yes, well the website i looked on gave me these translations anyway
except for the digging a hole one it said
scratching out a well?, but it does say it just gives a gist of a meaning and its a funny sounding sentence...??
nice of you to post them up,

Dear chezmobobbins,
Here's the comment i wrote several days ago, in the news section of this site (We are the people UK release), in order to express my feelings about this song.

"Ok. I love this song. Can't hide it. It's written "all over my name". But after 5 weeks of listening to it again and again, i admit i don't love it anymore and i must invent a new word to express my feelings, e-v-e-r-y time i'm listening to it. And since i haven't invented a word yet, i'm borrowing something from the lyrics to comment to. "I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try. Are you gonna leave me now". No. I'm not gonna leave you. Not now. Not tomorrow. Never."

Dear chezmobobbins - dear empyreans, since we are counting down the days until the UK release, i think we can help in every way we can to spread around this amazing song. Let's cross our fingers and hope for a (deserved) No1!
can you remember and humanise?

Sure. I think we all can play a significant part in spreading the word, each in his or her own way ;) Every little bit of promotion helps, so hopefully it will lead to great success worldwide and many number ones!!

he he good stuff we-are-the-people
I started this thread so long ago it seems, when there was almost nobody to read it, :D
yes if you play the same song non stop you eventually have to "give it a break"
while continuing to love it from a distance. :mrgreen:
then after said break you can love it again,
I did this to another bands album recently, i couldn't listen to oracular spectacular for a couple months afterwards as i overdid it so much so was careful to remove walking on a dream from the cd player and occationally supplement it,,, however still ive played it enough that my young kids know all the words to walking on a dream album
yes fingers crossed for uk number 1
film clip still kills me everytime (in a good way)
i will try to promote it more
:mrgreen:

yeah i get what you guys mean lol. I have this little rotation system with all my favourite artist so i dont risk getting sick of them. But i still play EOTS and Sleepy Jackson so much that my mum and dad will randomly start singing to it and magically know all the words lol. And my mum is the master of never knowing the right lyrics to any song (even her favourite song) so thats the weird part hahaha!!!
Stressed sounds and tastes so much better backwards :P
