Paroles:

[English]

All you fellows, gather 'round me

And let me give you some good advice

What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

You better think about it twice

While you're out cheating on your woman

There's something you never even thought of, and that is

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love (hear me now)

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

I've seen so, so many fellows

Fall in that same old bag

Thinking that a woman is made to,

To be beat on and treated so bad

Oh, fellows, let me ask you something

I'm sure that you never even dreamed of,

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

I know there are some women gives the other excuse

I'm not tryin' to run your life, boy it's up to you

Oh, you oh, you,

...

Reason why I ask this question

I used to be the same old way

When I decided to straighten up

I found it was a bit too late

Oh, that's when it all happened

Something I never, never dreamed of

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Now who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

...

Grammaire:

  • All you fellows, gather 'round me

    ➔ Impératif

    ➔ Le verbe "gather" est à l'impératif, utilisé pour donner un ordre ou une instruction aux "fellows".

  • And let me give you some good advice

    ➔ "Let" + pronom personnel complément d'objet + infinitif (sans "to")

    ➔ La structure "let me give" utilise "let" suivi d'un pronom personnel complément d'objet ("me") et de la forme de base du verbe ("give"). Elle exprime la permission ou l'autorisation pour le locuteur de faire quelque chose.

  • What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

    ➔ Futur avec "gonna" (informel)

    "Gonna" est une contraction familière de "going to", indiquant une intention future. La répétition souligne l'intention.

  • There's something you never even thought of, and that is

    ➔ Proposition relative (réduite) avec pronom relatif omis

    ➔ La proposition "you never even thought of" modifie "something". Le pronom relatif "that" ou "which" est omis.

  • While you were out making love

    ➔ Imparfait (action en cours)

    ➔ L'imparfait "were making" décrit une action qui était en cours dans le passé, se déroulant en même temps qu'une autre action ou un autre événement. Il indique qu'à un certain moment dans le passé, vous "were making love".

  • Thinking that a woman is made to, To be beat on and treated so bad

    ➔ Voix passive avec infinitif : "is made to be beat"

    "is made to be beat" utilise la voix passive pour indiquer que la femme est soumise à être battue. Bien que grammaticalement inhabituel et potentiellement incorrect dans l'écriture formelle, il met l'accent sur l'acte d'être battu.

  • I know there are some women gives the other excuse

    ➔ Erreur d'accord sujet-verbe ("women gives")

    ➔ Le sujet "women" est au pluriel, donc le verbe doit être "give" au lieu de "gives". Il s'agit probablement d'une erreur grammaticale délibérée utilisée dans un discours informel ou dans les paroles d'une chanson.

  • Reason why I ask this question

    ➔ Proposition subordonnée utilisant "why" pour introduire une raison

    "Why" est utilisé comme conjonction de subordination pour introduire la raison de poser la question. La phrase complète pourrait être "The reason why I ask this question is...". "The reason" est omis dans cette chanson, ce qui est courant dans le langage familier.
