Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Jack: How much did Lindsay freak out about the kittens?

Micheal: Oh dude, she was mad. I find out 'Oh I'm going to get covered in kittens.'

And they were like 5 weeks old. They're like super tiny Siamese, I think they were Siamese cats.

Their eyes were like... Their eyes were like crystal blue.

They were just so blue.

They were so new to life, they weren't even scrambling or anything.

They were just sitting there. They kept trying to climb into my jacket.

They just kept climbing into my jacket for warmth and they had to keep puling 'em out of my jacket.

I'm going over to film that and I turn to Adam Kovic,

I was like, 'Hey can you film this? Lindsay is going to be pissed.'

And he was like, 'What do you mean? Is she going to be mad if you don't take pictures?'

No, she's going to be mad because of the pictures.

She's going to be angry,

..for two reasons. One she's not here and it's not her.

And two, she knows I don't care.

Like it was cool but it was like, 'Oh cool, cats.'

So the first thing as I get done with it and he gives me my phone

And Adam took I think 87 photos

Her first response was like, 'WHAT?!?

Damn it! You don't even care.'

Key Grammar Structures

• Oh dude, she was mad.

  ➔ Past Continuous/Simple Past contrast

  ➔ While 'was mad' implies a state of being in the past, it's a simplified expression. More formally, it could be 'became mad' or 'got mad', indicating a change of state. The use of 'was' suggests a temporary emotional state.

• They were like super tiny Siamese, I think they were Siamese cats.

  ➔ Discourse Marker 'like', Tag Question

  ➔ The use of 'like' is a common discourse marker, functioning as an approximator or intensifier. 'I think they were Siamese cats' is a tag question, softening the assertion and inviting confirmation.

• She's going to be mad because of the pictures.

  ➔ Future with 'going to', Preposition 'because of'

  ➔ 'going to' expresses a prediction based on present evidence. 'Because of' is used to indicate the cause or reason for something. It's often interchangeable with 'due to', but 'because of' is more common in spoken English.

• And two, she knows I don't care.

  ➔ Coordinate Conjunction 'and', Negative Contraction 'don't'

  ➔ 'And' connects two reasons. 'don't care' is a common idiom expressing indifference. The contraction 'don't' is a standard feature of spoken and informal written English.
