Intro
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down al thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
Instrumental
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
Traducción literaria al español — fiel al sentimiento del autor, no es cantable.
Apaga tu mente, relájate y fluye con la corriente,
No es morir, no es morir
Deja ir tus pensamientos, ríndete al vacío,
Está brillando, está brillando.
Aún puedes ver el significado de lo que hay dentro
Es existir, es existir
El amor lo es todo y el amor es todos
Es saber, es saber
Y la ignorancia y el odio lloran a los muertos
Es creer, es creer
Pero escucha el color de tus sueños
No se va, no se va
Así que juega el juego de la "Existencia" hasta el final
Del principio, del principio.
Traducción literaria al italiano — fiel al sentimiento del autor, no es cantable.
Spegni la mente, rilassati e scendi nel flusso,
Non è morire, non è morire
Abbandona ogni pensiero, arrenditi al vuoto,
Sta splendendo, sta splendendo.
Eppure puoi vedere il senso di ciò che è dentro
È esistere, è esistere
L'amore è tutto e l'amore è ognuno
È conoscere, è conoscere
E l'ignoranza e l'odio piangono i morti
È credere, è credere
Ma ascolta il colore dei tuoi sogni
Non sta andando via, non sta andando via
Quindi gioca al gioco "Esistenza" fino alla fine
Dell'inizio, dell'inizio.
Traducción literaria al portugués — fiel al sentimiento del autor, no es cantable.
Desligue sua mente, relaxe e flutue com a corrente,
Não é morrer, não é morrer
Deixe ir seus pensamentos, se entregue ao vazio,
Está brilhando, está brilhando.
Ainda assim você pode ver o significado interior
É existir, é existir
O amor é tudo e o amor é todos
É saber, é saber
E a ignorância e o ódio choram os mortos
É crer, é crer
Mas ouça a cor dos seus sonhos
Não está indo embora, não está indo embora
Então jogue o jogo da "Existência" até o fim
Do começo, do começo.

La historia detrás
Tomorrow Never Knows starts and ends on a single C chord. The whole song. John Lennon wrote it in January 1966 after buying a book called The Psychedelic Experience, by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner, which is itself based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Lennon went home, took LSD and followed the book's instructions to the letter. The lyrics are about turning off the mind and letting go. The title doesn't come from that: he took it from a malapropism by Ringo Starr, because Lennon felt the song's spiritual content was too serious and wanted something less grandiose. Equally strange things happened in the studio. To record it on April 6, 1966 in Studio Three at Abbey Road, they used a Leslie speaker on Lennon's voice for the first time, something that until then had been reserved for the Hammond organ. They also invented the ADT system, which doubles the sound of the voice, a technique they would later use on countless songs. Geoff Emerick, just 19 years old, was the engineer for that session. George Martin produced the result and, when Lennon played the song in front of him for the first time with that single chord, said it was "quite interesting". It ended up closing Revolver, the 1966 album in which the Beatles made clear that the studio could be one more instrument.
