Damien Rice - The Professor Lyrics
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
Cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease
I'm sure when I'm older I'll know what that means
Here's to the man with his face in the mud
And an overcast play just taken away
From the lover's in love at the centre of stage yeah
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind
Loving is good if your dick's made of wood
And the dick left inside only half understood her
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away yeah
What makes him stall, what makes him stand
And what makes a man?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know you any more
No, no, no, no...
I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause shes only just gone
Why the fuck is this day taking so long
I was a lover of time and once she was mine
I was a lover indeed, I was covered in weed
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Well closer to god is the one who's in love
And I walk away cause I can
Too many options may kill a man
Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
But I've fucked it up now, too many times
Loving is good if it's not understood
Yeah, but I'm the professor
And feel that I should know
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away and
What makes him tick apart from him prick
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hell I don't know you any more
No, no, no no...
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by my excellent breed of gamete disease
I finished it off with some French wine and cheese
La fille danse
Quand elle joue avec moi
Et je pense que je l'aime des fois
Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc
Quand on est ensemble
Mettre les mots
Sur la petite dodo

Damien Rice The Professor Comments
the french part makes sense if you look at it deeper. La fille danse, quand elle joue avec moi. the girl dances when she plays with(meaning she kinda play with his feelings) et je pense que je l'aime des fois, And I think that I love her somehow( he thinks he may love her but feels insecure) Le silence, n'ose pas dis donc, quand on est ensemble, mettre les mots sur la petite . dodo The silence, you dare not, when we are together, put on the words, on the petite dodo.(means when they both are together, she doesnt want to tell her true feelings she rather say nothing because she only love him as a friend and not more) then the dodo means sleep so its like if that is to show the passive act from her not wanting to go further in the relation. this song may relate to Rice's pas relationship.
O Professor
Bem, eu não sei se eu estou errado
Porque ela acabou de ir embora
Um brinde à outro relacionamento
Bombardedado pela minha excelente raça de gametas
Eu tenho certeza que quando eu for mais velho, eu vou saber o que isso significa
Chorei quando ela deveria ela e ela riu quando ela pôde
Um brinde ao homem com a cara na lama
E um jogo nublado acabou de ser levado embora
Do amante apaixonado no centro do palco, yeah
Amar é legal se você tem tempo
De andar com pernas de pau no limite da sua mente
Amar é legal se o seu pinto é feito de madeira
E o pinto lá dentro só compreende metade dela
O que faz ela vir e o que faz ela ficar?
O que faz o animal correr, correr pra longe
O que faz ele cavalgar, o que faz ele permanecer
E o que agita o elefante agora
E o que faz um homem?
Eu não sei, eu não sei, eu não sei
Não eu não conheço você mais
Não, não, não, não...
Bem, eu não sei se eu estou errado
Porque ela acabou de ir embora
Porque essa merda de dia está demorando tanto?
Eu era um amante do tempo e uma vez ela foi minha
Eu era um amante com certeza, eu estava coberto de ervas
Chorei quando ela deveria ela e ela riu quando ela pôde
Mais perto de Deus é aquele que se apaixona
E eu caminho porque eu posso
Várias opções podem matar um homem
Amar é legal se isso não está na sua cabeça
Mas eu já me fodi com isso, várias vezes
Amar é legal se não é compreendido
Mas eu sou o professor
E eu sinto que eu deveria saber
O que faz ela vir e o que faz ela ficar?
O que faz o animal correr, correr pra longe e
O que faz ele coçar longe de suas agulhas
E o lado mais solitário da vara do ciumento
Eu não sei, eu não sei, eu não sei
Não, eu não sei, eu não sei, eu não sei
Não, eu não sei, eu não sei, eu não sei
Droga, eu não conheço você mais
Não, não, não, não...
Bem, eu não sei se eu estou errado
Porque ela acabou de ir embora
Um brinde à outro relacionamento
Bombardedado pela minha excelente raça de gametas
Eu termino isso com um pouco de vinho francês e queijo
A garota dança
Quando ela brinca comigo
E eu penso que a amo às vezes
O silêncio, não ousa dizer
Quando estamos juntos
Coloca as palavras
Em um pequeno descanso
( Ela precisa ser amada de verdade e sair da fantasia)
I gave her all the love in my pockets and she gave me this song. My yellow bird, I'll never forget, regret or imagine a world without you. See you in dream
It is so honest and beautiful
That it negates any idea of it being vulgar
And when he goes in to the second part of the song in French is truly breathtaking
I dont know u any more
Felt inspired and added a version of this song with rain on my channel, thx for this Damien Rice❤🌪
like a red wine
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause, she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by my excellent breed of gamete disease
I'm sure when I'm older I'll know what that means
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Here's to the man with his face in the mud
And an overcast play just taken away
From the lover's in love at the center of stage, yeah
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind and
Loving is good if your dick's made of wood
And the dick left inside only half understood her
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away, yeah?
What makes him stall, what makes him stand?
And what shakes the elephant now?
And what makes a man?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know you any more
No, no, no, no, uh yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause, she's only just gone
Why the fuck is this day taking so long
I was a lover of time and once she was mine
I was a lover indeed, I was covered in weed
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Well closer to God is the one who's in love
And I walk away 'cause I can
Too many options may kill a man
Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
But I've fucked it up now, too many times
Loving is good if it's not understood
Yeah, but I'm the professor
And I feel that I should know
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away?
And what makes him tick apart from his prick?
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, no, no
Hell I don't know you any more
No, no, no, no, uh yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause, she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship

My whole mind is in a trance from hearing this magnificent song.
Como eu amo essa música esse jeitinho de cantar essa voz ahhhhh 💗
is there are live performance similiar to this version out there?
Never has a song so perfectly captured love
"Loving is good , when your dicks made of wood. And the dick left inside, only half understood her"- never thought I would hear a songwriter write this and still excel it as art. Damien Rice is modern marvel and the most underrated song writer of current time.
One of the best songs ever written.
Does anyone know the time? Is It free time at the beginning?
0:03 take a closer look on that noise in the background.
That's a goat
şu şarkıyı açıp ağlıyorum be rezil orospuevladı ne hale soktun beni ya nasıl bi insansın
Cyntia Fade hala ağlamıyorsundur umarım.
Selamünaleyküm bacım skdkdmö
so its been over 10 years and this album/bsides is the best thing I've ever heard? some times an album hits at just the perfect time. This will forever mean so much to me. thank you Damo
que hace temblar un elefante o lo hace hombre? uno se cree profesor hasta q arruina todo por unos segundos de placer...gracias Damien!!

Gamete disease is the production of bad sperm cells.
Never heard it before Damien.
Rn i'm crying because his voice damnnnn
Thanks for sharing this. Great video. Would be cool if you'd come check out my channel as well, I just posted a new original song that you might dig called 'Jack and Coke'. Appreciate it. -Brett
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE forever and ever and ever and ever and...........
and EVER!
When he started singing in French, I just completely froze. He never fails to suprise me; his talent is endless
Ahah! I'm french but don't understand that part, but I understand that's supposed to be french.
Happens the same when an English speaker tries to sing spanish. Pero como nosotros mismos hablamos mal se le entienden algunas cosas! :3
@Silversaurio the same happens*
Such a gorgeous song. Attempted my own cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMd0Pm7Bf5g
"The girl dances
When she plays with me
And sometimes I think I love her
The silence dares not,
When we are together,
Put the words
On our nights together.”
Could some native speaker translate this part into spanish ? Me singing french on a stage will never work :D
@Yeoyou LoL i love you.
@Luco & DylanI am French and here goes the best translation i can make you. = and the girl dances, when she plays with me and I think, That i love her sometimes, the silence,dare not to say-so, when we are together, put the words one the small.dodo
Lovers in love at the center of stage.
when i heard this song at seoul jazz festival
i was frozen
Estoy parcialmente exitado!!!!!!
2:34 though...oml its actually perfect
When I first listened to this and Damien started speaking French. I just completely stopped what I was doing and froze to the spot. So beautiful!
its about the daughter of the man who taught him how to play the flute
This shit is fantastic!
you know this is about him being a music tutor and sleeping with one of his students. he was quite young and it seems to have influenced a lot of his music
(sorry for replying a year after you said this but...) im told the last words might mean 'little nap' which means the whole french bit is;
"The dancing girl. she plays with me and sometimes i think i like it. silence does not threaten us when we're together, put the words to sleep"
haha i've spent years trying to figure it out
its about a delicate love affair. he's vulnerable, and he can't tell her how he feels, because he doesn't know what it is :) but the rhyming means it does mean something sweet to him, but what it is, love, loneliness, something else, he doesn't know. and he can't explain why she's there, because he doesn't know who he is and what he wants to be, to himself, to her.
he's boiz iz sow setxczsi
his boyz iz sour secsi
I'm french and I can say, in fact the french part doesn't make any sense hahaha
Put the words on the small dodo. : D
i'd sex Damien aaaaaaaaanytime <3
I don't know, why is taking so long?
love <3
it doesn't make any sense in french either...
the right translation would be :
the girl dances
while she plays with me
and i think i love her sometimes
silence doesn't dare,
when we're together,
put words
on the little dodo (=sleep)
Still doesn't make any sense to me... i love him anyway :')
I do believe you just made my might good sir!
It's true buddy. Google translate sucks at translating sentences.
ted mosby :)
I'm here thanks to Josh Radnor :)
omg this song is so cute.Damien is an interesting artist and im proud to say I LOVE DAMIEN RICE'S MUSIC;)
It does make sense. Google translate is shit because it translates words, not phrases. Don't disrespect Damien. Dick.
And the french-speaking part (I'm french-speaking) doesn't make any sense (but is cute), at least for the last sentence.
Wooooh totally forgot that song. But now I remember having quoted the "What make the animal run, run away yeah / What makes him stall, what makes him stand / And what shakes the elephant now / And what makes a man?" part, for a work at school, 5/6 years ago. .. I was weird
His best ever song. Sorry for the fact!
see if it makes more sense explained like this:
the girl moves like she's dancing every time we dance, and sometimes I love it. Silence neither confirms or denies. when we're togheter, she reduces the power of words to the least.
Yeah it doesn't translate too well, though I think the last part about the dodo is saying something is "as dead as the little dodo" or something. FRANCH
You cant do a word for word translation pal :), frech turns of phrase mean sentences often run in different order and words have slightly different meanings, not being a dick, just saying aha
" And What Makes Her Mad.? Well I Don't Know!!"
-my favorite part..the way he voice..juss..beautiful.
mm I thought Damien's voice can't get any sexier and then he sang in french, apparently I was wrong :)
Agreed. This is a wonderful song.
