Kurczę, albo niech Satfreee odpowie, albo wygadaj. Bo nie zasnę. Za kilka dni piszę rozpoziomowowowowowo(eee:D)ujący test w moim LO i się strasznie boję. A nuż się nie dostanę do najlepszej... Chyba muszę pokuć jeszcze;( Boję się, boję się. A nawet nie rozumiem tekstu całego "Happiness Is A Warm Gun". Aaaaaaaaa;(

During his trip to Nigeria, Paul noticed a phrase on a plaque that inspired him to think up the theme for the number. The title was adapted from the name of a hoel in Marrakech which Paul had stayed in. In Arabic the word means "safe haven"

Dobra! mam info o Mamunia

tłumaczenie:
podczas podróży do Nigerii, Paul zauważył napis na tabliczce która zainspirowała go do wymyślenia tematu tego numeru. Tytuł został zaadaptowany od nazwy hotelu w Marrakech w którym Paul przebywał. Po arabsku te słowa oznaczają "bezpieczna przystań"

Ja niestety też nie rozumiem całego Happiness... a tak bym chciał. Wiele z tego tekstu można interpretować na kilka sposobów, np. "I Need A Fix, 'Cause I'm Going Down", albo sam tytuł
może ktoś przetłumaczyć chociaż pierwszą część tego utworu?... bo w końcówce są rzeczy chyba nie do przetłumaczenia, tak przy wszystkich

I believe the song was named after La Mamounia, the hotel in Marrakech, as has been mentioned.

The hotel was named for Prince Moulay Mamoun. Ma'Moun means "trustworty".

It seem most likely that Mr. McCartney simply liked the name and turned it into a song. In that context, there is no true meaning.

My Interpretation is...

multicoloured mirrors = alot of small mirrors tinted in different colors...stuck on this guys boots, probably so he could look up women's dresses

soap impression = I think is just a carving made out of a bar of soap

wife which he ate = The carving of soap was made to look like his wife, the which he ate part I don't understand...you don't eat soap, plus if he ate it how could he donate it to the National Trust?

National Trust = Is an organisation in England which preserves things for the Nation. Paul and John's homes are both owned and run by the National Trust.

Mother Superior jump the gun = Mother Superior I know from watching an old television show called the Flying Nun, is the head of a Convent. The Head Lady in charge of the Nuns. I have no idea what the "Jump the Gun"

The Gun part, knowing Lennon, may have had a sexual inuendo...jumping on a male organ.

That is how I interprete it. I could be wrong. I know Paul says songs are what you want them to be...sometimes he uses nonsense wording.

I don't know if that helped at all.

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun, mama
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun, mama
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun
Well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama?
