The song accrued around 65 million Spotify streams in the first few weeks after the release. “Fast Car” has since become Luke’s biggest crossover hit, and one of the biggest songs in all of music right now. It sits at #3 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. That’s higher than Tracy Chapman’s original version ever got, which peaked atTłumaczenie: Ty masz szybki samochód Ja chcę bilet byle gdzie Może zawrzemy układ Może razem moglibyśmy gdzieś dotrzeć Każde miejsce jest lepsze Zaczynając od zera, nie mając nic do stracenia Może do czegoś dojdziemy Ja osobiście nie mam nic do udowodnienia Ty masz szybki samochód A ja mam plan, jak nas stąd wydostać Pracowałam w przydrożnym sklepiku Zaoszczędzając tylko troszkę pieniędzy Nie musimy jechać zbyt daleko Tylko przekroczyć granicę i do miasta Ty i ja, oboje możemy dostać pracę Wreszcie zobaczyć, co to znaczy żyć Widzisz, mój staruszek ma problem On żyje z butelką, tak to jest Mawia, że "jego ciało jest za stare do pracy" Ja mówię "jego ciało jest za młode, żeby tak wyglądać" Moja mamuśka odeszła i zostawiła go Chciała więcej od życia, niż on mógłby dać Powiedziałam, że ktoś musi się nim zaopiekować Więc rzuciłam szkołę i to właśnie zrobiłam Ty masz szybki samochód Ale czy jest wystarczająco szybki, żebyśmy mogli odlecieć Musimy podjąć decyzję Wyjeżdżamy dziś, czy żyjemy i umieramy tak jak teraz Pamiętam, jak jeździliśmy, jeździliśmy w twoim samochodzie Prędkość tak duża, że czułam, jakbym była pijana Światła miasta kładły się przed nami I to było miłe, kiedy twoje ramię objęło moje ramiona I miałam, miałam odczucie, że tutaj jest moje miejsce I miałam, miałam odczucie, że mogłabym być kimś, być kimś, być kimś Ty masz szybki samochód I zasuwamy, żeby się rozerwać Ty wciąż nie masz pracy I ja pracuję w markecie jako kasjerka Wiem, że sprawy ułożą się lepiej Ty znajdziesz pracę, a ja dostanę awans Wyprowadzimy się ze schroniska Kupimy duży dom i będziemy żyć na przedmieściach Pamiętam, jak jeździliśmy, jeździliśmy w twoim samochodzie Prędkość tak duża, że czułam, jakbym była pijana Światła miasta kładły się przed nami I to było miłe, kiedy twoje ramię objęło moje ramiona I miałam, miałam odczucie, że tutaj jest moje miejsce I miałam, miałam odczucie, że mogłabym być kimś, być kimś, być kimś Ty masz szybki samochód A ja mam pracę, która opłaca wszystkie nasze rachunki Ty pijesz do późna w barze Widzisz więcej swoich przyjaciół, niż swoje dzieci Zawsze będę miała nadzieję na lepsze Myśląc, że razem, ty i ja, znajdziemy je Nie mam żadnych planów, nigdzie się nie wybieram Więc weź swój szybki samochód i jedź dalej Pamiętam, jak jeździliśmy, jeździliśmy w twoim samochodzie Prędkość tak duża, że czułam, jakbym była pijana Światła miasta kładły się przed nami I to było, miłe kiedy twoje ramię objęło moje ramiona I miałam, miałam odczucie, że tutaj jest moje miejsce I miałam, miałam odczucie, że mogłabym być kimś, być kimś, być kimś Ty masz szybki samochód Ale czy jest wystarczająco szybki, żebyś mógł odlecieć Musisz podjąć decyzję Odchodzisz dzisiaj, albo żyjesz i umierasz w ten sam sposób Tekst piosenki: You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we can make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I've been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for work I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way, die this way, keeping die this way
1:22. Singer and Cleveland native Tracy Chapman became the first Black woman to win a Country Music Association award Wednesday evening when her signature hit, "Fast Car," won Song of the Year 35 years after it was released. "I'm sorry I couldn't join you all tonight," Chapman, who could not attend the ceremony, wrote in a pre-written note readAbout“Fast Car” is a song by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. It was released in April 1988 as the lead single from her self-titled debut album. Her appearance on the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute was the catalyst for the song’s becoming a top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at number 6 on the Hot 100, and a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 4 on the us a question about this songWhat has the media said about the song?In 2011, Rolling Stone ranked this as the #167th greatest song of all time, saying: Tracy Chapman was a hardened veteran of Boston coffeehouse gigs (she once got a demo-tape rejection letter suggesting she tune her guitar) when a classmate at Tufts University told his music-publisher dad to check her out. Soon after, she made her 1988 debut, featuring this haunting rumination on escape. “Fast Car” won a Grammy, setting Chapman’s career in have the artists said about the song?“‘Fast Car’ was the song that was played on the radio so it was something that turned out to take a significant role in shaping my first record and probably the public perception of me as a singer-songwriter who is writing about stories, songs which tell stories about peoples’ lives and very generally represents the world that I saw it when I was growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, coming from a working-class background. In part everything that a person writes is autobiographical but the songs are directly so and most of them were not, and ‘Fast Car’ wasn’t one that was directly autobiographical. I never had a fast car, it’s just a story about a couple, how they are trying to make a life together and they face challenges. I had so many people come up to me and say that they felt it was their song and someone told me at one point that they thought I’ve been reading their mail, they were saying, ‘You seem to know my story,’ and people would come up and tell me about a car relationship and some detail that they felt was in the song that represented something that happened in their lives.” Tracy Chapman Source: CreditsRelease DateApril 15, 1988Fast Car CoversFast Car by Mutya Buena, Fast Car by sanah, Fast Car by Aunty Donna, Fast Car by Jamila Woods, Fast Car by !!!
