Перевод песни Pretty boys (Paul McCartney)

Pretty boys

Красавчики

Look into my lens
Give me all you got
Work it for me, baby
Let me take my best shot

Meet the pretty boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire
Working for the squire
You can look, but you better not touch

Cause here come the pretty boys
They gonna set your world on fire
Objects of desire
Preaching to the choir
They can talk but they never say much

Strike another pose
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
Don’t put up a fight

There go the pretty boys
A row of cottages for rent
For your main event

They’re what the angels sent
You can look but you better not touch

Look into my lens
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
IT’s gonna be alright

Here come the pretty boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire

When they’re working for the squire
You can look but you better not touch

The pretty boys (you better not touch)
The pretty boys (but you better not touch)
The pretty boys

Смотри в мой объектив,
Выдай мне по максимуму!
Поработай, детка.
Дай мне сделать мой лучший снимок.

Познакомьтесь с красавчиками.
Велосипеды напрокат для вождения.
Объекты вожделения,
Работающие на магната.
Смотреть смотри, но давай-ка не трогать.

Потому что вот они — красавчики,
Они твой мир повергнут в изумление.
Объекты вожделения.
Проповедуя хору,
Что-нибудь да скажут, но всегда немного.

Прими другую позу,
Постарайся почувствовать свет.
Эй, фотокамера любит тебя.
Без возражений!

А вот они красавчики.
Ряд бунгало в аренду
Для вашего главного ивента.

Их вам послали ангелы,
Смотреть смотри, но давай-ка не трогать.

Смотри в мой объектив.
Постарайся почувствовать свет.
Эй, фотокамера любит тебя.
Всё будет хорошо!

А вот они — красавчики.
Велосипеды напрокат для вождения.
Объекты вожделения,

Работающие на магната.
Смотреть смотри, но давай-ка не трогать.

Красавчики (давай-ка не трогать)
Красавчики (но давай-ка не трогать)
Красавчики.

Song facts

“Pretty Boys” is a track from 2020 album “McCartney III“.

The lyrics for “Pretty Boys” are inspired by Paul seeing bicycles for hire around New York and London. It was also inspired by certain photographers who have been known to get out of the line in the studio. The “objects of desire” in the song are male models. But Paul finishes the song with a warning. “You can look, but you’d better not touch…”

From Spotify Storyline. Storyline is a feature of Spotify that gives behind-the-scenes information from artists about their songs, presented with a carousel of cards featuring a combination of text and images.

There’s a song on “McCartney III,” “Pretty Boys,” that is kind of unusual for you in how the music is sort of unassuming but the lyrics have an almost sinister edge. What inspired that one?

I’ll tell you exactly. I’ve been photographed by many photographers through the years. And when you get down to London, doing sessions with people like David Bailey, they can get pretty energetic in the studio. It’s like “Blow-Up”, you know? “Give it to me! [Expletive] the lens!” And it’s like: “What? No, I’m not going to.” But I understand why they’re doing that. They’re that kind of artist. So you allow it. Certain photographers — they tend to be very good photographers, by the way — can be totally out of line in the studio. So “Pretty Boys” is about male models. And going around New York or London, you see the lines of bicycles for hire. It struck me that they’re like models, there to be used. It’s most unfortunate.

I got to use the Kay M-1 upright bass on this. Previously played and owned by Bill Black when he played and toured with Elvis. How cool is that!

Paul McCartney talking about “Pretty Boys” – From Twitter

Here’s what Keith Smith, Paul’s technical manager, remembers about the recording of “Pretty Boys“:

[With Paul’s way of working, it] always starts from the song. That’s kind of how some of this started. When he did Pretty Boys, he sat down and said ‘I’ve got this really nice little thing I’ve been working on’. It was a riff that he’s had going for ages, I recognised it from way back when he started playing it. He just sat down with an acoustic and knocked out the vocal and the acoustic at the same time. Then it just developed.

Keith Smith – from Music Radar, December 18, 2020

In 2021, for the “McCartney III Imagined” project, American trio Khruangbin reimagined “Pretty Boys“.

Lyrics

Look into my lens
Give me all you got
Work it for me baby
Let me take my best shot

Meet the Pretty Boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire
Working for the squire
You can look but you’d better not touch

’Cause here come the Pretty Boys
They’re gonna set your world on fire
Objects of desire Preaching to the choir
They can talk but they never say much

Strike another pose
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
Don’t put up a fight

There go the Pretty Boys
A row of cottages for rent
For your main event
They’re what the angels sent
You can look but you’d better not touch

Look into my lens
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
It’s gonna be alright

Oh, here come the Pretty Boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire
When they’re working for the squire
You can look but you’d better not touch

The Pretty Boys
But you’d better not touch
