I Love Rock 'n' Roll
Paroles:
[English]
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must've been about 17
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'Cause it's all the same"
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
Ow!
...
Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?
Next, we were movin' on, he was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on and singin' that same old song
Yeah, with me, singin'
"I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me"
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with-
I love rock 'n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

Grammaire:
-
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
➔ Gérondif après les verbes de perception (voir, entendre, regarder)
➔ Le verbe "saw" (passé de "see") est suivi de "dancin'" (dancing), la forme gérondive du verbe "dance". Cette structure met l'accent sur l'action en cours de la danse qui a été observée.
-
I knew he must've been about 17
➔ Verbe modal "must" + "have been" (déduction sur le passé)
➔ "Must have been" exprime une forte déduction sur une situation passée. Le locuteur est très certain que la personne avait environ 17 ans.
-
Playin' my favorite song
➔ Participe présent agissant comme un adjectif descriptif
➔ "Playin'" (playing) modifie "song", la décrivant comme la chanson qui joue actuellement. Cela agit comme un adjectif.
-
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
➔ Futur dans le passé (would)
➔ "Wouldn't be" exprime un événement futur tel qu'il est vu d'un point du passé (lorsque le locuteur a vu la personne). "Could tell" établit la perspective passée.
-
'Til he was with me
➔ Ellipse (omission de 'until')
➔ "'Til" est une forme abrégée de "until". Dans le langage familier et dans les paroles de chansons, le 'un' est souvent omis pour plus de brièveté et un ton plus décontracté.
-
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
➔ Phrase impérative (donnant un ordre ou une requête)
➔ La phrase commence par le verbe "put", indiquant un ordre direct ou une requête forte. Le sujet "you" est implicite.
-
That don't matter
➔ Grammaire non standard: Double négation (langue informelle)
➔ En anglais standard, cela devrait être "That doesn't matter". L'utilisation de "don't" avec "that" est grammaticalement incorrecte mais courante dans le langage informel ou dans les dialectes.
