How am i supposed to pretend i never want to see you again
How am i supposed to pretend i never want to see you again
Перевод песни Campus (Vampire Weekend)
Campus
Кампус
I wake up, my shoulders cold
I’ve got to leave here, before I go
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you, you’re walking ‘cross the campus
Cruel professor, studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
Walk to class in front of ya
Spilled kefir on your keffiyah
You look inside and turn to the door
Drag your feet along the floor
Then I see you, you’re walking ‘cross the campus
Cruel professor, studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
Я просыпаюсь с холодными плечами,
Мне нужно уходить, но перед выходом
Я надеваю рубашку, выхожу за дверь,
Еле плетусь по полу.
Я надеваю рубашку, выхожу за дверь,
Еле плетусь по полу.
И тут я вижу тебя, идущей по кампусу,
Жестокий профессор, изучающий романы.
Как я должен притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
Как я должен притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
Захожу в кабинет прямо перед тобой,
Проливаю кефир на твою куфею.
Ты заглядываешь внутрь и поворачиваешься к двери,
Еле плетясь по полу.
И тут я вижу тебя, идущей по кампусу,
Жестокий профессор, изучающий романы.
Как я должен притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
Как я должен притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
В полдень, ты снаружи среди камней и травы,
А я сплю на балконе после уроков.
В полдень, ты снаружи среди камней и травы,
А я сплю на балконе после уроков.
В полдень, ты снаружи среди камней и травы,
А я сплю на балконе после уроков.
В полдень, ты снаружи среди камней и травы,
А я сплю на балконе после уроков.

Перевод песни Campus
Я просыпаюсь, мои плечи холодны.
Я должен уйти отсюда, прежде чем уйду.
Я натягиваю рубашку, выхожу за дверь,
Тащу ноги по полу.
Я надеваю рубашку, выхожу за дверь,
Тащу ноги по полу,
А потом вижу тебя, ты идешь через кампус.
Жестокий профессор, изучающий романсы.
Как я могу притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
Как я могу притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?
Иду на урок перед тобой,
Пролил кефир на твою кефию.
Ты заглядываешь внутрь и поворачиваешься к двери.
Тащи ноги по полу,
А потом я вижу тебя, ты идешь через кампус.
Жестокий профессор, изучающий романсы.
Как я могу притворяться,
Что больше не хочу тебя видеть?

I wake up, my shoulders cold
I’ve got to leave here, before I go
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you, you’re walking ‘cross the campus
Cruel professor studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
Walked to class, in front of ya
Spilled kefir on your keffiyeh
You look inside and turn to the door
Drag your feet along the floor
Then I see you, you’re walking ‘cross the campus
Cruel professor studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
How am I supposed to pretend

In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class

And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class

General CommentI actually think this song is about a one night stand and the following morning wanting to leave before they get up cos of the awkwardness. Draging his feet along the floor possibly in regret of what he’s done.
Then he sees her walking ‘cross the campus, the «cruel professor studying romances», i think, is the girl overthinking the situation and wondering if there was more to it than a one night stand etc.
The chrorus isnt «how am i supposed to pretend i never want to see you again [as he likes her]» its «How am i supposed to pretend [theres more to it than just a one night stand when really], I never want to see you again» The comma makes it a whole different thing he’s saying/thinking.
Excellent interpretation MikeF,
You ideas are clear and well supported.
I share the same idea of the song being about a one night stand.
However, you may need to reanalyze the chrorus. The original lyrics do not contain a comma:
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
Hence, and just maybe, the writer is having a hard time coping with fact that he had a one night stand and he wanted it to be more. Ergo he’s having a hard time pretending that he never wants to see her again. I know it’s especially hard not to fall in love with your first one night stand. heeehee
The unspoken rule: «Never fall in love with a one night stand»
Walked to class, in front of ya
Walking to class in front of her to get her attention maybe? Trying to get noticed?
In the afternoon, you’re out on the stone and grass
And I’m sleeping on the balcony after class
Mybe he’s doing a little spying on the balcony?
An Oxford Comma would really help clarify the chorus, no?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again
‘Jeeze you know, I just can’t hide these feelings for you. When can we get back together?’
Think: Top Gun
How am I supposed to pretend[,]
I never want to see you again
How am I supposed to pretend[,]
I never want to see you again
‘Shit, that actually happened? And now its going to influence our social/professional relationship? I really, really, never want to see you again.’
Think: Don’t Stand So Close to Me (Police)
Another quote that supports your interpretation is:
«I wake up, my shoulders cold» Clearly, he’s not wearing a shirt, need I say more maybe she stole the blanket.
I really hope it isnt about a one night stand and the girl overthinking it, cuz that would be something that would happen to me. XP oh goodness. I am such a romantic. I personally think its about an affair with the english teacher and when she teaches the romantic poetry he is always thinking about her. because of the line:
«I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor»
and
«Spilled kefir on your keffiyeh»
it sounds like hes super spacey, i know that Im especially clumsy when im spacing out. And so he’s probably tired from staying up all night thinking about her, or maybe his head is always in the clouds thinking about her. The lack of sleep would also explain him sleeping on the balcony after class. Maybe he was supposed to meet her again but is missing it, which is why she’s out on the stone and grass, but he’s somewhere else, sleeping.
General Commenthaha wow, I have a *totally* different take on this song than ya’ll. 😉 I think it’s about being gay and living on a college campus. Let me explain my reasoning.
No one has pointed this out yet, but a keffiyeh is something traditionally worn by males.. not females. 🙂 I believe Batmanglij wrote the lyrics to this song, and he has since come out as being gay (out.com/…).
To me this song tells a story of falling in love with a male (possibly professor) who turns out to not be gay, and hence is not interested in a relationship. The line, «You look inside and turn to the door,» to me means that when the person realizes Batmanglij is gay, he walks away (i.e., not interested).
Thoughts? I could be wrong here.. have been wrong many times. 😉
