Don Quixote-Let's try to figure out the lyrics

Featured Replies

Last nights changes in red

 

 

So we left La Mancha

Headed out for higher plains

Me and Sancho Panza

 

Looking for adventure

Rocinante at the reins (I have no clue what he sang last night)

To the windmills answer

 

You'll never be lonely

You'll never be lonely ever again

You'll never be/get? lonely

You'll never be/get? lonely again

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain

 

So they sent the doctor, for examining my brain

So they called the doctor, now they're examining my brain

Said he's not too clever

Saying I'm not too clever

 

Oh when the world,

when the world (not sung) just seems, a little bit too cruel

Gonna leave it/one better

Make one better/ One little hero he's together ?....Ah this makes more sense (by moss three posts down): One where we're always together

 

So tell that princess

Tell that princess right down the train

Tell that princess

She'll never be lonely again

 

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain

 

Ole ole ole ole

 

I heard/hope you never get wet in Spanish rain

Woo ooh, Wooh ooh

I Heard you never get wet in Spanish rain

So tell that princess

Tell that princess right down the train --> not sure but I'd say he's singing "right down that reign". There are no trains in Don Quixote, I think it makes more sense :P

Tell that princess

She'll never be lonely again

 

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain

Ooh, ooh

I heard you never get wet in Spanish rain

Woo ooh, Wooh ooh

he said this in rio

 

Gonna make one better

One where we're always together

 

sounds a bit like "for an insular terrain" earlier on?

 

dunno about the rest though, and i'm sure its train not reign, I think he's just referring to those 'fall in love with a stranger on a train' moments

^that's it! I couldn't get anything but "together" with mumbles. Good ear!

 

And Im not sure about the whole "train" line...It just really doesn't fit.

How many shows are left? I've a feeling we'll have just as many versions...and titles:laugh3: I love these guys!

Well heres what i think of the lyrics, just a few changes that i think are correct but not totally sure...

Said he's not too clever <---pretty positive on that after the second show that they sang that they sang this song

So tell that princess

Tell that princess lie down and dream <--- another possibility that i thought of, seems to fit more than the train line

Hey guys, I just was thinking: Don Quixote is very similar to a part of "Dancing in the dark" by Bruce Springsten. What do you think?

^Yep, quite a few have noticed it.

 

Also, could "right down the train" be "slide down the drain"?

could be, I guess.

is Don Quixote now known as Spanish Rain? or did the oracle confuse me?

 

The following is a little interesting . . .

 

Did you read that story about the fan that met Chris at one of the gigs and asked him that question already?

"After that we were supposed to leave because another group of journalists would go in, but I was able to have a small chat with Chris against security orders. I asked him how was the new song called afterall 'cause he'd named it both Don Quijote and Spanish Rain and we were puzzled. He said it'd be called Spanish Rain probably, because they have another new song called Don Quijote. They still don't know what to do with these 2 songs and I was all: Wow 2 songs, that's even better."

I'm the one who asked Chris about the song :P

 

And I recorded it again in Sao Paulo! Here it goes :nice:

Ooh very interesting. I was wondering what it's 'official' title was. Was he just joking then in Buenos Aires since people also laugh after he says it? Since it seems it's always referred to as 'Spanish Rain' now (the oracle, Chris in Roadie 42's info, etc.)

How crazy... I'm watching Jeopardy right now and one of the "questions" was "Who is Don Quixote?"

 

WHAT A COINKIEDINK

This song actually is okay, I was pleasantly surprised. :nice:

I think it sounds like, "Tell that princess slide down the drain".

just added the following to wikipedia:

 

The British acclaimed band Coldplay premiered a song during their 2010 Latin American Tour called Don Quixote (Spanish Rain). From the lyrics, it is evidenced the strong influence from the novel, with Chris Martin specifically singing: So we left La Mancha / Headed out for higher plains / Me and Sancho Panza / Looking for adventure / Rocinante at the reins / To the windmills answer

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_quixote
