Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Look Around" is a great place to start with English. The song's repetitive and catchy chorus makes it easy to sing along and pick up key phrases. Anthony Kiedis's energetic and clear vocal delivery will help you grasp the rhythm and pronunciation of English words. Beyond the language, the song’s message of being observant and appreciating the world around you is universally inspiring.

[English]

Stiff club, it's my nature

Custom love is the nomenclature

Turn down mass confusion

Hit the road 'cause we just keep cruisin'

Double my fun, double my vision

Long hard look at my last decision

Hustle here, hustle there

Hustle me, bitch, and you best beware

It's emotional, and I told you so

But you had to know

So I told you

Soft walk to horizon

One big crash that no one dies in

This is for the folks in Fayetteville

It'll come true if you say it will

Look around, look around, look around

All around, all around, all around

Look around, look around, look around

All around, all around, all around

...

It's emotional, and I told you so

But you had to know

So I told you

Please, don't look right through me

Hurts my heart when you do that to me

Street life out my window

City made breeze gonna stroke my skindow

Just a lotta words on an old brick wall

Robbin' lotta banks, got a pedigree scrawl

Put my peg into your square

Run around like we just don't care

Look around, look around, look around

All around, all around, all around

Look around, look around, look around

All around, oh yeah

...

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Move it, ah, gotta get ya, wanna get you

Look around, look around, look around

All around, all around, all around

Look around, look around, look around

All around, oh yeah

When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall

Wanna feel it all around

When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall

Wanna feel it all around (yeah)
