ESTELLE/KANYE WEST – AMERICAN BOY

Lyrics

Kanye West:
This a number one champion sound
yeah Estelle we ’bout to get down
who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
we just sold out all the floor seats
Estelle:
Chorus
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy.
He said Hey Sister.
It’s really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who’s just my type.
I like the way he’s speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don’t like his baggy jeans but Ima like what’s underneath them.
And no I ain’t been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York’s heart awaits. First let’s see the west end.
I’ll show you to my Bredrin.
I’m liking this American Boy. American Boy
Chorus
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy, American Boy.
Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let’s go shopping baby then we’ll go to a Café.
Let’s go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I’d like to see what’s good.
Dressed in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker’s looking Fresh to Death I’m lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I’m likin this American Boy. American Boy.
Chorus
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I’d love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy
Tell ‘em wagwaan blood
Kanye West:
Who killin em in the UK.
Everybody gonna say you K,
reluctantly, because most of this press don’t f**k wit me.
Estelle once said to me, cool down down
don’t act a fool now now.
I always act a fool oww oww.
Aint nothing new now now.
He crazy, I know what ya thinkin.
Ribena I know what you’re drinkin.
Rap singer. Chain Blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you’re blinkin.
What’s you’re persona.
About this Americana rhymer
Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer.
Dressed smart like a London Bloke.
Before he speak his suit bespoke.
And you thought he was cute before.
Look at this Pea Coat, Tell me he’s broke.
And I know you ain’t into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that CAAASH.
Cuz a lot WAGs want to hear it.
And I’m feelin like Mike at his Baddest.
The Pimps at their Gladist.
And I know they love it.
so to hell with all that rubbish
Estelle:
Would you be my love, my love.
could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy
Chorus
Take me on a trip, I’d like to go some day
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You’ll be my American Boy, American Boy.

Paroles (Traduction)

Kanye West :
C'est un son de champion numéro un
Ouais Estelle, on va s'éclater
Qui est le plus chaud du monde en ce moment.
Je viens tout juste d'arriver à Londres.
Parie qu'ils vont me donner une livre.
Dis-leur de mettre l'argent dans ma main tout de suite.
Dis au promoteur qu'on a besoin de plus de places,
on vient de vendre tous les sièges en gradin.
Estelle :
Refrain
Emmène-moi en voyage, j'aimerais y aller un jour.
Emmène-moi à New York, j'adorerais voir Los Angeles.
Je veux vraiment venir traîner avec toi.
Tu seras mon American Boy.
Il a dit Hey Sister.
C'est vraiment très agréable de te rencontrer.
Je viens de rencontrer ce gars d'1m70 qui est pile mon type.
J'aime la manière dont il parle, sa confiance est au maximum.
Je n'aime pas son jean large mais j'aime ce qu'il y a en dessous.
Et non je ne suis pas allée à Miami.
J'ai entendu dire qu'il ne pleut jamais en Californie et que le cœur de New York attend. D'abord allons voir le West End.
Je te présenterai à mes potes.
J'aime bien cet American Boy. American Boy.
Refrain
Emmène-moi en voyage, j'aimerais y aller un jour.
Emmène-moi à New York, j'adorerais voir Los Angeles.
Je veux vraiment venir traîner avec toi.
Tu seras mon American Boy, American Boy.
On peut partir ce week-end.
Emmène-moi à Broadway.
Allons faire du shopping bébé puis on ira dans un café.
Prenons le métro.
Emmène-moi dans ton quartier.
Je ne suis jamais allée à Brooklyn et j'aimerais voir ce qu'il y a de bien.
Vêtu de tous tes habits chics.
Tes baskets sont super stylées, j'adore ces Shell Toes.
Marche de cette façon.
Parle de cette manière.
J'aime bien cet American Boy. American Boy.
Refrain
Emmène-moi en voyage, j'aimerais y aller un jour.
Emm
