1322 – John Lennon – Aisumasen (I'm sorry) (1973)

 

Escrita por John Lennon, foi gravada entre julho e agosto de 1973 e lançada no disco Mind games, em 16 de novembro. A letra trata de John se desculpando pra Yoko. Ai sumimasen significa I'm sorry em japonês. O que Lennon entendeu como Aisumasen. É similar a I want you (She's so heavy), do disco Abbey Road. John vinha lutando com a harmonia dessa canção desde 1971, para poder aprontar. O solo de guitarra dessa música, feita por David Spinozza, é incrivel. John cantou e tocou violão. David Spinozza tocou guitarra. Pete Kleinoew tocou pedal steel guitar. Ken Asher tocou teclado. Gordon Edwrads tocou baixo. Jim Keltner tocou bateria.

A letra:

When I'm down really yin
And I don't know what I'm doing
Aisumasen

Aisumasen Yoko

All I had to do was call your name

All I had to do was call your name

And when I hurt you and cause you pain
Darling I promise I won't do it again

Aisumasen

Aisumasen Yoko
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain

It's hard enough I know to feel, to feel your own pain

All that I know is just what you tell me
All that I know is just what you show me

And when I'm down real sanpaku
And I don't know what to do
Aisumasen

Aisumasen Yoko san
All I had to do was call your name
Yes, all I had to do was call your name
