Yup, the Latin version is trying to cheer up the English version. The English version eventually gives up and commits suicide, that's why the English version of the song has an abrupt ending compared to the Latin one.
Damon's voice for 2D, especially in this album, is so unique. It's filled with such pain, loneliness, and in this song, it's very haunting but in a soothing sort of way. Such a great song and such a great album.
Both songs are meant to go together, the English version's chorus goes "What's the matter with me?" so 2-D is talking about himself, and speaking in a very melancholic manner, while the Spanish version's chorus goes "Que pasa contigo?" which, translated says "What's the matter with you?", and is sung in a more cheerful tone, showing that he is trying to cheer 2-D up, which is why he refers to 2-D as "Hermano" which means "Brother" in Spanish. Both of these songs are almost like a duet in a way.
It's interesting, no? The latin beat in the background, slowed almost to a dirge, screams sadness in the midst of shallow joy while background vocals seem to blur everything into almost a chant, like dulled senses as you emptily move through the rote details of life. Musical brilliance, I think. Still holds up, years after I first heard it.
JogInTheFog Yes!!!! Listen to Blur!!! The first time I listened to Gorillaz, I thought: "Isn't that Damon Albarn's voice?!". So I decided to look it up at Wikipedia 😊😊😊😊
in high school, my many spanish teachers always asked us to suggest songs -- but whenever I suggested the other version of this song for class they didn't want to play it because it was "too weird", to quote my second year teacher :0
Give up If you wanna survive Get oh so alive In your life Everything falling out the sky on top of you Now what you do? Fill yourself up now It's the love of your life Shallowly on me All I know Before it's gone I always feel it's getting you down When nothing's wrong What's the matter with me? What's the matter with me, me, me... Give up If you wanna survive Pick the sound back up You got to get on the song lowly What's the point It's funny 'til you left to kill yourself In this town So what's the matter with me? What's the matter with me? What's the matter with me? What's the matter with me, me, me...
The spanish version + this is so beautiful and dark. At the end of Spanish version it sounds like English version guy killed himself.. silence and asking "Whats matter with you" as he found the body..
Fuckface McGee That is very true but almost all lyric webpages have only the English version lyrics. Writr Latin Simone lyrics on youtube and watch the Spanish lyrics
I think both versions are great in their own way. Who said we have to choose between them? The smoky, rich quality of the original Spanish and the haunting lull of the English version.. I love them both!
Bro, I listen to this song so much since it feels like someone's going through the same shit I am. Tell anyone about my issues and they say shit like "Dude, stop being so sad" "I hate your negative vibes" "Suicide is for the weak", as if that's being supportive. If sounding supportive and concerned was their intention, I didn't see it. What's wrong with me? Why am I so flawed? I can't be like the others, managing their lives comfortably, while I'm sitting here at 6am listening to this. I miss my friends. Not the people I'm with right now. My friends from childhood. Ugh I can't.
TragicAtBest17 they're lyrics and sound are rarely super dark but also not really super cheery, and I think that's really the definition of a melancholy sound.
A true Gorillaz fan doesn't love songs simply because they are by Gorillaz, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I agree with you though, haha, they both rock.
Para los que no entiendan, lo que damón allbarn quería hacer era una conversación entre 2-d e ibrahim ferrer, así que la versión ingles habla de como 2-d esta deprimido y se quiere matar, mientras la que esta en español le dice que no, que debe iluminar si vida y su amor, por algo en ingles dice "que pasa conmigo", y en español "que pasa contigo"
Kristin B. Honestly I adore the Spanish version cuz I'm trying to learn the language and it helps but also I feel the voice is much more smooth (idk if it's the same as this version) but yea I understand where ur coming from
The Spanish versión is awesome, dude. Lyric-wise. Hope you're doing good with your spanish clases! it's a really cool and useful language to learn. Coming from a spanish-speaker ;)
I didn't know there WAS an English version of this song till I watched hoodudehoodlumsrevenge's top gorillaz songs. It's sorrowful, haunting, and beautiful. Thank you 2-D.
from what I got from it, it's about someone who is depressed, very suicidal, and everyone else isn't. therefore he thinks there is something wrong with him.
This song is so beautiful.. in a sad way. The piano sounds eerie yet peaceful, the bass sounds like the constant feeling of melancholy and hopelessness, and the trumpet reminds me of the flicker of hope that 2D or whoever the character for this song is supposed to be. Absolutely beautiful.
I've been listening to the Spanish version a lot recently and trying to translate it with my rudimentary understanding of Spanish lol, and not getting very far. Well today I finally looked up the lyrics and didn't understand why the English lyrics didn't seem to match completely with what I'd translated. Can't believe there is this complementary English version that I never even realised existed!! Two halves of the same story, amazing. I like the Spanish version more because it's like the hopeful advice that 2D needs to hear, I mean it's probably advice that we all need to hear tbh. "No ocultes tu alma al sol"...
i would love if someone would mix the Spanish and English version, start off with the English version and some were in the middle when it sounds like its about to climax switch it up to the climax of the Spanish part then bring it home with the rest Spanish. at least i think that would sound cool
Love this song I ended up editing the English and Spanish version together. I’m gonna have to post it on here, though I’ll admit I never posted a video on UA-cam before lol

@SissaChan: That's the point. The Spanish one is about a guy singing to his depressed friend. The English one is the depressed friend singing, thus it makes sense to have a dronish, monotone, depressive voice. @jp198404: That's a pretty good idea
Loco, me atrevo a decir que latín simone, ya sea en español o en inglés, son las mejores canciones del primer disco, o almenos eso me parece a mi. Quien diga la contrario, lo invito a qué nos caguemos bien a piñas, na mentira.
My mother tongue is spanish (that's why my English is kinda bad) butI prefer this one, the English version. When I was kid I was not able to understand the lyrics, but I always imagined someone dying inside himself. I was almost right.
im from Mexico and I've discovered this song when I was listening to Ibrahim Ferrer I was like whoaaaaaa!!! my two favorite artists singing the same song, I have fall in love with the both versions que pasa contigo :)
It's really cool how the Spanish and English version of this song seem to be talking to each other
They are

Yup, the Latin version is trying to cheer up the English version. The English version eventually gives up and commits suicide, that's why the English version of the song has an abrupt ending compared to the Latin one.
Actually, the video ends abruptly just because the uploader cut it off. The official one ends in the same way as the Latin one.
Spanish: Que pasa contigo mi hermano? (what's wrong with you my brother?)
English: What's the matter with me?
One tune, two perspectives.
english one (2D) is trying to suicide but spanish one (Ibrahim Ferrer) is trying to make him give up.

The spanish version is written from a different perspective. it's lyrics are comforting and kind of optimistic

The spanish versions lyrics are the opposite of the English lyrics.
are the same, its just that the spanish one it goes to you/him, in the english its for yourself
+Sebastián Sánchez Chuquimia no, there are more differences than that
como cuales?
Is it something like the Spanish one says "What's the matter with you?" while the English one says "What's the matter with me?"
yes, it has a different perspective.
If there's one word I could describe Gorillaz it would be "Melancholic" simply because I hear this word a lot. it only seems right.
TragicAtBest17 they're lyrics and sound are rarely super dark but also not really super cheery, and I think that's really the definition of a melancholy sound.
