Ah one, two, three.
When was that summer when the skies were blue,
Когда же это было – лето, синее небо,
The bright red cardinal flew down from his tree,
Ярко-красная птица кардинал слетает со своего дерева,
You tell me.
Ты скажи мне.
When was that summer when it never rained,
Когда же это было – лето без единого дождя,
The air was buzzing with the sweet old honey bee,
Воздух гудит вместе со сладкозвучной старой медоносной пчелой,
Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.
Were we there, was it real?
Мы там были, это было в действительности?
Is it truly how I feel?
Это на самом деле то, что я чувствую?
Maybe, you tell me.
Возможно, ты скажи мне.
Were we there, is it true?
Мы там были, это правда?
Was I really there with you?
Я действительно был там вместе с тобой?
Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.
When was that summer of a dozen words,
Когда же это было – лето, дюжина слов,
The butterflies and humming birds flew free,
Бабочки и колибри свободно летают,
Let's see, you tell me.
Давай узнаем, ты скажи мне.
Let's see, you tell me.
«Я начал писать эту песню, вспоминая о лете. «Мы там были, это правда?». Иногда для большинства людей воспоминания, особенно детские воспоминания, выглядят такими золотыми, что ты начинаешь думать: «Правда ли в те времена летом никогда не лил дождь или я лишь воображаю эти солнечные моменты?». Вот так эта фраза, «Ты скажи мне», и стала темой песни. Я написал её, находясь на Лонг-Айленде во время как раз такого лета. Я часто наблюдал за красным кардиналом (это такая яркая ярко-красная птица, которая встречается в тех местах). Для многих англичан это подобно волшебству - увидеть ярко-красную птицу, перелетающую с ветки на ветку. Эта песня стала посвящением тем золотым летним денькам».
«‘You Tell Me’ - возможно, самая грустная песня из всех, когда-либо им написанных», - говорит Дэйвид Кан. Этот, в основном, акустический трек открывается проигрываемым назад и вперёд органом, в то время как Лабориэл исполняет отбивку на ударных, перемежающуюся с несколькими сэмплами. Вокал Маккартни был записан с одного захода и дополнен прекрасными голосами участников группы. Проигрываемый назад и вперёд орган, использованный для создания настроения, следует сразу после тихого отсчёта Маккартни. «Я был по-настоящему счастлив, когда он позволил мне включить этот отсчёт. Это символ».
AH One, Two, Three.

“I began to write this song, remembering the summer. "We were there, is it true?" Sometimes for most people memories, especially children's memories, look so gold that you begin to think: “Is it true that in those days it was never raining in those days or I only imagine these sunny moments?” So this phrase, “You tell me,” and became the theme of the song. I wrote it, being on Long Island during just such a summer. I often watched the red cardinal (this is such a bright bright red bird that occurs in those places). For many British, this is like magic - to see a bright red bird flying from a branch to a branch. This song became the dedication of those golden summer days. ”
“‘ You tell me ’ - perhaps the saddest song of all what they have ever written,” says David Kan. This, mainly, the acoustic track opens back and forward by the organ, while Laboriel performs a beat on drums, interspersed with several samples. The vocals of McCartney were recorded from one entry and complemented by the beautiful voices of the group members. The organ, which is played back and forward, is used to create the mood immediately after the quiet reference of McCartney. “I was really happy when he allowed me to turn on this counting. This is a symbol. "
