DOCUMENT SONORE : Chanson (paroles)

Lose Yourself Eminem

1 Look, / if you had/ one shot1, or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip2?

5 His palms3 are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy (10)

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop4 bombs, (12) Stress

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,

The whole crowd5 goes so loud Fear

10 He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's choking6 how, everybody's joking now

The clock's run out, time's up over, blow! Time

Snap7 back to reality, Oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

15 He's so mad, but he won't give up8 that

Easy, no

He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes9

It don't matter, he's dope10

He knows that but he's broke11

1 Shot: opportunity 2 Slip : let it go 3Palms : the inside of his hands 4 Drop : to throw 5 A crowd : a lot of people 6 To choke : you can’t speak or breathe 7 A snap : a quick movement 8 To give up : abandon 9 « his whole back’s to these ropes » : métaphore de boxe. Lorsque l’un des boxeurs reste trop longtemps le dos sur les cordes bordant le ring (ropes), cela signifie qu’il est en mauvaise posture et qu’il risque de perdre le round. 10 Dope : stupid 11 To be broke : to have no money Rafika SELMI - Collège les Rives du Léman – Evian les Bains [email protected] http://www.gilmant.fr/wordpress/?category_name=miss-selmo

[…]

[Chorus]

25 You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own12 it; you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

30 You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

33 (You better)

[…]

Seize the opportunities

______

1 To own : to possess
