Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say "Get over here
And play a video game "
I "m in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Honey, is that true?
Baby now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul "s
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It "s you, it" s you, it "s all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It "s better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
It "s you, it" s you, it "s all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It "s better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
Translation of the song:
Go to the backyard
And jump in your nimble car
Whistling my name
Open the beer
And rush here
Play a video game.
I'm in his favorite sundress:
Watch me strip
Take me downtown.
I say that you are the best
I just want to kiss you hard.
I use his favorite perfume ...
Come on, play a video game.
You, you, it's all for you
Everything I do,
I tell you every time.
Darling, is that so?
Singing songs in old bars
Hanging out with the stars of the past
Living for the glory
Kissing in the bleak darkness
Playing pool, crazy darts
And video games ...
He hugs me with his big arms
Intoxicated, I see the stars
And I think only about that.
Watch our friends
Come and go from Old Paul's -
I think it's funny
Play video games.
You, you, it's all for you
Everything I do,
I tell you every time.
Paradise - it is here on Earth, next to you.
Tell me everything you want to do.
I heard you love bad girls
Darling, is that so?
This is the best I could find out.
They say the world was made for the two of us
It's worth living only when someone loves you -
Baby, now you love me.
(Now you love me)
You, you, it's all for you
Everything I do,
I tell you every time.
Paradise - it is here on Earth, next to you.
Tell me everything you want to do.
I heard you love bad girls
Darling, is that so?
This is the best I could find out.
They say the world was made for the two of us
It's worth living only when someone loves you -
Baby, now you love me.
The song "Young and Beautiful" was written specifically for the movie "The Great Gatsby". This striking and memorable film was filmed in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann based on the novel by the American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald, a typical representative of the "jazz age" in American literature. The Great Gatsby is a must-read in schools and colleges in the United States - not surprisingly, several directors have already turned to its plot. The latest film adaptation with the magnificent Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role won two Oscars for sets and costumes, in other words - for the skillfully conveyed atmosphere of the thirties of the twentieth century.
The song, like the film and the novel, is the embodiment of the wonderful momentary, fragility and uniqueness of the present moment. The protagonist of the novel, Jay Gatsby, decided to create his own world, full of incredible adventures, unbridled fun, and happy love. But this world will not survive in a collision with the cynicism of the surrounding life - the novel takes place in the 20-30s of the XX century, during the heyday of mafia clans, during the time of adventurers, gangsters and bootleggers, rapid ups and downs. The strongest survives - but not the most beautiful ... The protagonist of the novel, Daisy Buchanan, the Beautiful Lady of Gatsby's chivalrous worship, is fascinated by the wonderful gifts that the dreamer in love throws at her feet. But, realizing the sincerity of his love, she herself is hardly able to open her heart in response ... The song is full of bitterness and regret about passing youth and beauty - and hopes that true love will be eternal ...

Elizabeth Grant, performing under the stage name Lana Del Rey, was born in New York on June 21, 1986 in the family of the investor Rob Grant. The girl spent her childhood in Lake Placid, New York. Then there was Alabama, New Jersey and again New York.
Since childhood, having good vocal skills and a desire to be popular, Elizabeth has slowly but surely trod the path to fame and recognition. At first, like many now famous artists, the girl sang in cafes, restaurants and clubs. And at the age of 22, she decided to declare herself, performing in public with her own works under her own guitar accompaniment. But luck and chance did not present itself to the novice performer at that moment.
In 2009, the girl recorded a trial small-format album Kill Kill under the name Lizzie Grant. This work did not bring much fame to the singer, but her talent was finally noticed. From that moment, Elizabeth began cooperation with producer David Canet and a whole team of managers, who invite the girl to perform under the pseudonym Lana Del Rey, as the most appropriate and harmonious with the new style of her music and image in general. The stage name was based on the names of the actress Lana Turner and the Ford Del Rey car. Both, having a touch of Hollywood chic, at the same time, emphasized the deliberately old-fashioned brilliance of the performer's work. This was the expression of the originality and dissimilarity of the young singer Lana Del Rey. From that moment on, the girl, who finally determined exclusively her own niche in the musical direction, sang in a full voice, which immediately music critics put on a par with the vocals of Nancy Sinatra, Ambrosia Parsley and China Forbes. Such comparisons allowed La? Not Del Rey herself to define herself as a "gangster version of Nancy Sinatra", but to call her work "Hollywood Sadcore".
With producer David Canet, the performer recorded her debut solo album Lana Del Rey, the presentation and rotation of which for unknown reasons were curtailed in the shortest possible time. Real fame came to the singer in 2011 with the video "Video Games". For three weeks of scrolling on the Internet, the clip was viewed by 600 thousand viewers. Thus, he calmed the performer with his attention and recognition, and to the music critics, denoting the very convincing prospects of a rising star.
In December 2011, the presentation of the new composition "Born to Die" took place, which anticipated the release of the whole album.
On October 24, 2011, Lana Del Rey won the Future Star category at the Q Awards. Video Games was voted Best New Track by Pitchfork Media. After the release of "Video Games" / "Blue Jeans" in vinyl and digital format, the composition took ninth place in the UK charts, and third in the Netherlands parade.
Lana Del Rey's first live performance took place on September 21, 2011 at The Box, New York, and was very successful.
At the moment, the performer lives and works in the heart of Great Britain, London. In 2012, the presentation of the first studio album Born to Die is scheduled, which will be released on January 27 in Ireland, January 30 in the UK and January 31, 2012 worldwide. Also in 2012, at the BRIT Awards ceremony, Lana Del Rey will be nominated for the International Breakthrough.
Hello, folks! Today our guest is a real legend! That "s right! Otherwise, this talented pop diva with a divine voice cannot be called. American singer Lana Del Rey, together with Canadian pop musician The Weeknd, recently released a new music video for the title track of the album Lust For Life. And you" re about to see it!
Previously, the musicians have already worked together in 2016 on the creation of the track Party Monster. The video turned out to be great, very gentle and light, shot in black and white in the style of the 60s. In it, Lana and The Weeknd have a date night at a massive Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. Romance, you say, however, is not so simple. But more on that below. Lust For Life will appear on the singer's self-titled studio album, which is slated for release on May 25. By the way, her collaboration with Sean Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, will also be included in the new album.
Lana- a woman who combines high attractiveness, charm, charm, education, sophistication, good taste, but does not suspect about this or does not attach due importance to it
If you don't follow the singer on Instagram yet, then it's time to fix this mess. There, by the way, you can listen to a fragment of a new song from the upcoming album. So be sure to check it;)
Ok, it "s show time!

Lana Del Rey - the birth of a legend
Many will be interested to see one of Lana's earliest performances. Did the audience guess then that they were looking at a future legend?
Rumors about the life of Lana Del Rey
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (the singer's real name) is not alien to all the delights of Hollywood. Her songs often draw on the legendary glamor and tragedy of the golden age of cinema. The references in her videos have become more evident lately. Lust for life is a kind of album trailer, depicting her as a ghostly figure living in the "G" of the Hollywood sign. However, some pop culture scholars have seen, with their eagle eyes, what seem to be parallels between the lyrics and imagery accompanying this album and the suicide of actress Peg Entwistle in 1932. Entwistle was an English actress who, following her Broadway success, moved to Los Angeles to devote herself to cinema. She starred in David O. Selznick's Thirteen Women, only to make a contribution that was dropped from the final cut of the film. In response, she climbed the Hollywood Hills, climbed the Hollywood G, 30 feet high, and jumped down.
In fact, it is unknown if these parallels to the Hollywood legend are just coincidence. However, hints like the stairs and some of the Lust For Life keywords at the beginning of the song suggest otherwise.
Of course, this is not the first time that Lana Del Rey has compared death to glamor. This theme has settled in her music since Born To Die.
This concludes the article. We wish you creativity and success in English. Love life and it will love you!
