Legalize It
Paroles:
[English]
Legalize it, don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Some call it tampee, tampee
Some call it the weed
Some call it marijuana, marijuana
Some of them call it ganja, ganja
Every man got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Singers smoke it
And players of instrument too
Legalize it, yeah, yeah
That's the best thing you can do
Doctors smoke it, nurses smoke it
Judges smoke it, even the lawyer too
So you've got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
It's good for the flu, a good for asthma
...
Good for tuberculosis, even umara composis
Got to legalize it, don't criticize it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, I will advertise it
Birds eat it, ants love it
...
Fowls eat it, goats love to play with it
So you've got to legalize it, don't criticize it
...
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
Keep on telling you, legalize it
...

Grammaire:
-
Legalize it, don't criticize it
➔ Mode impératif
➔ Utilise la forme de base du verbe pour donner un ordre ou une instruction directe. "Legalize" (légaliser) et "don't criticize" (ne pas critiquer) sont tous deux des impératifs.
-
Legalize it, yeah, yeah, and I will advertise it
➔ Futur simple (will + forme de base)
➔ Utilise "will" pour exprimer une intention ou une promesse future. "I "will" advertise it" (je le ferai connaître) indique l'intention de l'orateur de promouvoir la légalisation.
-
Every man got to legalize it, and don't criticize it
➔ Utilisation informelle de 'got to' (have got to)
➔ "Got to" est une façon informelle de dire "have got to", ce qui est une version plus forte de "have to". Il exprime une obligation ou une nécessité. Ici, cela signifie que chaque homme est obligé de le légaliser.
-
Singers smoke it And players of instrument too
➔ Ellipse
➔ Le mot "smoke" (fumer) est omis à la fin de la deuxième clause. On comprend que les "players of instrument" (instrumentistes) le fument aussi. Cela crée un effet concis et rythmique.
-
It's good for the flu, a good for asthma
➔ Grammaire informelle: omission de l'article 'a' et du verbe 'is'
➔ Cette ligne utilise une grammaire très informelle. La ligne devrait être "It is good for the flu, it is good for asthma". Les mots 'it is' sont omis.
