Rebel Prince Lyrics
Where is my master the rebel prince
Who will shut all of these windows
It's these windows all around me
It's these windows who are telling me
To rid my dirty mind of all of its preciousness
Where is my master the rebel prince
Bet breaking everything trying to get to me
In this two-bit hotel
Just to me before this windows
Does rid my dirty mind of all of its preciousness
Oh I can see him now
Though it's so far away
Amongst the roving crowd
Going the other way
Confounded anger burning with love for me
Ou est mon maître prince rebelle
qui va fermer toutes ces fenêtres
ce sont ces fenêtres autour de moi
ce sont ces fenêtrs qui m'appellent
qui m'appellent
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
I'm leaving the Roosevelt hotel
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
I'm leaving the room we knew so well
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Who will shut all of these windows
It's these windows all around me
It's these windows who are telling me
To rid my dirty mind of all of its preciousness
Bet breaking everything trying to get to me
In this two-bit hotel
Just to me before this windows
Oh I can see him now
Though it's so far away
Amongst the roving crowd
Going the other way
qui va fermer toutes ces fenêtres
ce sont ces fenêtres autour de moi
ce sont ces fenêtrs qui m'appellent
qui m'appellent
I'm leaving the Roosevelt hotel
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
I'm leaving the room we knew so well
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold

This one is off of Poses, which was when he was partying a lot and living in the Chelsea Hotel. i always thought it was just about him going out every night and sleeping around and then coming home and having no one who actually loved him- what he really wants at the end of the day is someone who "burns for love" for him. It's kinda like Between My Legs...
great song. it's so cool and bluesy.viva el rufus!
awesome song
the french verse just repeats the first one if anyone was wondering
does anyone know what this song means? id like to think its not rufus literally looking for his rebel prince, there must be something else. and why is he singing marigold marigold? could it maybe be about him in search of his rebellious side?
Interesting idea ExLover. Rufus does like to refer to himself in a tricky way (ie one man guy...where he's the only man he loves)
Rufus has been quoted saying that Marigold was a play name for one of his lovers. So I am assuming a lot of the song also has to do with this Marigold gentleman.
could someone post the translation for the french part? or is it the same as the first verse? :)
Well, it's almost exactly the same lyrics... The only difference is that "qui m'appellent" means "who are calling me", and not "telling me".
okay, thanks! (:
