David bowie biography starman lyrics prevod
Didn’t know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin’ down some rock ‘n’ roll ‘lotta soul,
he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren’t no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
[CHORUS]
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that’s far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV
we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright
[CHORUS (x2)]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Prevod pesme
Zvezdani čovek
Nisam znao koliko je sati a svetla su bila prigušena
Naslonio sam se na svoj radio
Neki džezer puštao je neki rokenrol, puno soula,
Rekao je
A onda je taj glasan zvuk nekako utihnuo
Povratio se kao tihi glas između stanica
To nije bio D.J., to je bio nejasan kosmički džez
[Refren]
Zvezdani čovek čeka na nebu
Voleo bi da dođe i upozna nas
Ali on misli da bi nas raspametio
Zvezdani čovek na nebu čeka
Rekao nam je da ne zeznemo stvar
Jer on zna da se sve to isplati
Rekao mi je:
Pusti decu da luduju
Pusti decu da uživaju
Pusti svu decu da igraju
Morao sam nekog nazvati pa sam se na tebe okomio
Hej, to je neverovatno, znači i ti si ga čuo!
Uključi TV
možda ga uhvatimo na kanalu dva
Pogledaj kroz prozor, vidim njegovu svetlost
Ako uspemo da zablještimo, on će se večeras možda prizemljiti
Nemoj reći tati jer će se uplašiti i zaključati nas
[Refren (x2)]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Starman (song)
1972 song by David Bowie
"Starman" is a song by the English musician David Bowie. It was released on 28 April 1972 by RCA Records as the lead single of his fifth studio album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Co-produced by Ken Scott, Bowie recorded the song on 4 February 1972 at Trident Studios in London with his backing band known as the Spiders from Mars – comprising guitarist Mick Ronson, bassist Trevor Bolder and drummer Mick Woodmansey. The song was a late addition to the album, written as a direct response to RCA's request for a single; it replaced the Chuck Berry cover "Round and Round" on the album. The lyrics describe Ziggy Stardust bringing a message of hope to Earth's youth through the radio, salvation by an alien "Starman". The chorus is inspired by "Over the Rainbow", sung by Judy Garland, while other influences include T. Rex and the Supremes.
Upon release, "Starman" sold favorably and earned positive reviews. Following Bowie's performance of the song on the BBC television programme Top of the Pops, the song reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and helped propel the album to number five. It was his first major hit since "Space Oddity" three years earlier. The performance made Bowie a star and was watched by a large audience, including many future musicians, who were all affected by it; these included Siouxsie Sioux, Bono, Robert Smith, Boy George and Morrissey. Retrospectively, the song is considered by music critics as one of Bowie's finest.
Composition and recording
"Starman" was written as a direct response to the head of RCA Dennis Katz's request for a single. Author Kevin Cann writes that the title may allude to Robert A. Heinlein's 1953 novel Starman Jones, while Chris O'Leary attributes David Rome's 1965 short story "There's a Starman in Ward 7". The song was recorded on 4 February 1972 at Trident Studios in London, towards the end of the Ziggy Stardust sessions. Also reco .
