letra Back in the day en español
Traducción
En aquellos dias solian decir
Toca esa cancion, sigue asi, y la banda tocaba
y en estos dias nos oyes decir
toca esa cancion toda la noche Sr.DJ
Los tiempos dificiles han cambiado
sigue siendo lo mismo
todos necestiamos de un minuto para escapar
asi que dejate llevar, siente la onda
si tienes ritmo, dejale al mundo saber
vamos a poner el ambiente (poner bien el ambiente)
vamos a ir de regreso a la onda Old School
de reversa a otra epoca
cuando los originales, inovadores estaban vivos
Asi decimos ahora
saca al Marvin Gaye y Etta James
tu Lady Day, y Coltrane
subele a tus 45's, traelos a la vida
el sonido y la vibra del ayer
abre tu mente, disfruta el viaje
Vivelo esta noche y atrapa el Tren del Soul
ahora "Chain of Fools"
[cadena de tontos] y "Respect" [respeto]
fueron himnos para la mujer, Aretha dijo
"What's going on" [que esta pasando],
"Lets Get in On" [vamos a hacerlo o
seguirlo]
canciones tan clasicas, no las olviden
los tiempos dificel han cambiado
siguen siendo mi inspiracion cada dia
asi que rindete ante los grandes
que llegaron primero, y abrieron la puerta
Asi decimos ahora
saca al Marvin Gaye y Etta James
tu Lady Day, y Coltrane
subele a tus 45's, traelos a la vida
el sonido y la vibra del ayer
abre tu mente, disfruta el viaje
Vivelo esta noche y atrapa el Tren del Soul
asi que levantate y revivelos
tienes que dejarte llevar
dales una ovacion
ven a celebrar
solo levantante, subete
no te alejes (no te alejes)
ven a celebrar (vamos a celebrar)
De regreso tomalo
de regreso a los dias, de regreso a los dias
me llevaras de regreso?
de regreso a los dias, de regreso a los dias
Yo lo hare
de regreso a los dias, de regreso a los dias
Back in the day
Letra Original
What we´re gonna do right here is go back
Way back, back into time
Yeah, yeah-yeah
(Donny Hathaway, Leena Horne)
(Miss Aretha, (The Real Thing) James Brown, Billie Holiday)
(Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong)
(Minnie Riperton, Otis Redding, Etta James)
Back in the day, they used to say
Play that song, get it going, and the band played
And still today, you hear us say
Play that song all night long, Mr. DJ
Though times have changed,
It´s still the same
We all need a minute to get away
So let it go and feel the flow
If you´ve got soul, let the world know
We´re gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
Gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
Gonna rewind to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah
Here we say now
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45´s, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train
Take it back, take it
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby
Back in the day, back in the day
Won´t you take me back?
Back in the day, back in the day
I´ll do it
Back in the day, back in the day
Ohh yeah
Y´all remember back in the day, you dig
Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald
Yeah
Now "Chain Of Fools" and "Respect"
Was the anthem of a woman, Aretha said
"What´s Going On", "Let´s Get It On"
Such classic songs, don´t forget them
Though times have changed
They still remain my inspiration everyday
So give it up for the ones
Who came before, opened up that door
We´re gonna set the mood
(we´re gonna) (set the mood)
Gonna go back to an old school groove
(go back) (to an old school groove)
Gonna rewind to another time
(rewind) (another time)
When the originators, innovators were alive
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45´s, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
(the sound and vibe of yesterday)
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train
Take it back, take it
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby
Back in the day, back in the day
Won´t you take me back?
Back in the day, back in the day
I´ll do it
Back in the day, back in the day
So get up, re-live it
Gotta let yourself flow
Give up your praise
Come celebrate
Just get up, get on it
Get yourself on the floor
Don´t back away (don´t back away)
Come celebrate (gonna celebrate, yeah)
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45´s, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
(the sound and vibe, alright yeah)
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train
Takin´ back in the day, day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby, I´ll do it
Oh baby, ohh yeah yeah woah woah yeah
