Animal

The Kinks

Animal

On reflection, it was not all wine on the wall
It was not all cuts and bruises
Or the pulling out of hair
And the bloodying of nose
And the tearing off of clothes, although

It was really animal, truly animal
There were times when there was absolute compassion in the air
Though it was really animal, truly animal

It could not compare to times we cared
And were in control and less emotional

While the intellect controls the spiritual
The animal respects what's natural
Ying and yang control man's actions
And both extremes are a natural reaction

It was really animal, truly animal,
Well there were times when there was absolute compassion in the air

On reflection it was not all crash and bang
Broken bottles and abuse
Sometimes there were sunsets on the sands
Holding onto caring hands
But there were vampire fangs
As the angels sang
It was ying and yang, oh yeah

It was truly natural, though it was really animal
In a sense it fell into a truly natural romance

Oh yeah,
It was really animal, truly animal
There were times when there was absolute compassion in the air

True love, true love, true love is really animal

Animal

Ao refletir, não era só vinho na parede
Não eram só cortes e machucados
Ou arrancar cabelo
E o nariz sangrando
E as roupas rasgadas, embora

Era realmente animal, verdadeiramente animal
Houve momentos em que havia compaixão no ar
Embora fosse realmente animal, verdadeiramente animal

Não se comparava aos momentos em que nos importávamos
E estávamos no controle e menos emocionais

Enquanto o intelecto controla o espiritual
O animal respeita o que é natural
Yin e yang controlam as ações do homem
E ambos os extremos são uma reação natural

Era realmente animal, verdadeiramente animal,
Bem, houve momentos em que havia compaixão no ar

Ao refletir, não era só pancada e barulho
Garrafas quebradas e abuso
Às vezes havia pores do sol na areia
Segurando mãos que se importavam
Mas havia presas de vampiro
Enquanto os anjos cantavam
Era yin e yang, oh é

Era verdadeiramente natural, embora fosse realmente animal
De certa forma, caiu em um romance verdadeiramente natural

Oh é,
Era realmente animal, verdadeiramente animal
Houve momentos em que havia compaixão no ar

Amor verdadeiro, amor verdadeiro, amor verdadeiro é realmente animal
