I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood ?
Sous l'impulsion de George Harrison, Norwegian Wood est la première chanson de l'histoire de la pop à inclure un sitar, un instrument indien, dont le guitariste s'est pris de passion.
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) est une chanson des Beatles, parue sur l'album Rubber Soul le 3 décembre 1965. Créditée Lennon/McCartney, la chanson est essentiellement écrite par John Lennon, Paul McCartney y ayant apporté une petite contribution. Si le sitar est plutôt utilisé ici comme agrément, Harrison composera par la suite des chansons spécifiquement destinées à l'instrument.
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
