ОДИН И ОДИН ЕСТЬ ДВА
Интерпретация песни Леннона-Маккартни
«One and one is two»
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phAn0e2teNQ
Один и один есть два,
Но где найти слова
Чтоб ты в ответ сказала «да»?
А может, есть цветы -
Вручу и скажешь ты:
- Все сбылись мои мечты?
Когда мы наедине вдвоём
И близко рукава,
В мыслях ты всё о своём -
Один и один есть два!
Один и один есть два,
Но где найти слова
Чтоб ты в ответ сказала «да»?
А может, есть цветы -
Вручу и скажешь ты:
- Все сбылись мои мечты?
На тебя только бросил взгляд -
Был сражён насквозь,
До сих пор твои чувства спят -
Сердце не зашлось.
Один и один есть два,
Но где найти слова
Чтоб ты в ответ сказала «да»?
А может, есть цветы -
Вручу и скажешь ты:
- Все сбылись мои мечты?
Если сердце откроешь, вдруг,
Наконец своё,
То поймешь, что глаза не врут –
И я отдам моё.
Один и один есть два,
Но где найти слова
Чтоб ты в ответ сказала «да»?
=========================================
One and one is two
What am I to do
Now that I'm in love with you?
[Chorus]
I'm hoping everyday
I'm gonna hear you say
"You really make my wish come true"
Can you feel when I'm holding you near
All the things that I do?
So, my love, am I making it clear?
One and one is two
One and one is two
What am I to do
Now that I'm in love with you?
[Chorus]
Can't you see I've loved you from the start?
Don't you love me too?
I love you, but you're breaking my heart
From wanting you
One and one is two
What am I to do
Now that I'm in love with you?
If you say that you're gonna be mine
Everything is alright
All the world would look so fine
If you'll be mine tonight
One and one is two
What am I to do
Now that I'm in love with you?

Song facts
From AllMusic.com:
The Strangers with Mike Shannon (that is precisely how they were billed, not the other way around) had the honor, or misfortune, of covering the most obscure Lennon-McCartney song that was “given away” to another artist in the 1960s, and not recorded by the Beatles. This song was their May 1964 single “One and One Is Two,” and that did not chart in either the U.K. or the U.S. Of all the songs that fell into this category (with the possible exception of Carlos Mendes’ Paul McCartney-penned “Penina“), “One and One Is Two” was the most forgettable. A rather standard and plodding Merseybeat number without the melodic imagination that characterized even the weakest and most primitive songs the Beatles did on their first recordings, it attracted little notice at a time when Lennon-McCartney were the most in-demand composers in popular music.
[The song] had a rather more complex history than simply popping up on the Strangers 45 and disappearing. The composition was apparently intended for use by Billy J. Kramer, who had already covered several Lennon-McCartney tunes for hits. It was written while the Beatleswere playing an extended engagement in Paris at the beginning of 1964, and a demo of McCartney singing the song and accompanying himself on piano has been bootlegged. It has been reported thatJohn Lennon said that if Kramer recorded the song, he (Kramer) would be finished. In his extensive interview for Playboy, the ever-gracious Lennon called it “another of Paul’s bad attempts at writing a song.”
The song was offered to Kramer, who decided not to record it. It was then offered to another Liverpool act that shared management with Brian Epstein, the Fourmost, who had already covered a couple of Lennon-McCartney songs that were not done by the Beatles for hit singles. They did give it a try but, as singer and lead guitarist Brian O’Hara remembered in Beatles Undercover, “McCartney came into the studio and played bass on “One and One Is Two,” but there just wasn’t any meat in the song and we couldn’t get anywhere with it.” Thus rejected by two artists (three if you count the Beatles, too), it made its way to the lowly Strangers with Mike Shannon.
