Duke Ellington все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

Quisiera abrir lentamente mis venas
Mi sangre toda verterla a tus pies
Para poderte demostrar
Que más no puedo amar
Y entonces morir después
Y sin embargo tus ojos azules
Azul que tienen el cielo y el mar
Viven cerrados para mí

Day in-day out
The same old voodoo follows me about
The same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you and darling, I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out-day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin

Chloe! Chloe!
Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh
Chloe! Chloe!

Empty spaces in his eyes
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying

I took a choo-choo-choo-choo
Fast as I could take a choo-choo
I came a long, long, long, long way
To take you in my arms
And now it's your first move
To prove that you've been true
Come to baby, do

Dancin' in the dark till the tune ends
We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by: we're here and we're gone

Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you, love
And we can face the music together

Кроме глубомысленных слов "Чатануга чуча" и "Ду-уап" трушный линди-хопер должен знать и заклинание, приносящее удачу "Дига дига ду - дуга ду ду" :-) Классика свинга, начало 1930-х

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
I couldn't bear it without you

Oh lead me gently home father lead me gently home
When life's toils are ended and parting days have come
Sin no more will tempt me there from Thee I'll roam
If you'll only lead me father lead me gently home
Oh lead me gently home father lead me gently home
If I fall upon the wayside lead me gently home
Lead me gently home father lead me gently home
If life's darkest hours father when my troubles come

Bonito amanece el día
Que alegres cantan las aves
En una copa de vino
Sepulto yo mis pesares
Voy a vivir el presente
Por que mañana quien sabe
Mañana será otro día

Amor mío, tu rostro divino
No sabe guardar, secretos de amor
Ya me dijo que estoy en la gloria
De tu intimidad

No hace falta decir que me quieres
No me vuelvas loco con esa verdad
No lo digas

I went from hero To zero
And I'm still sinking down
Money in the bank
Would lift me straight off the ground
Oh, high down to low ain't much fun
When your time is over and your day is done
Hero to zero
Hero to zero

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah
It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing
Doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah doo-ah

It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot,
Just give that rhythm everything you got,
oh

Liza, Liza
Skies are gray
But when you smile at me
All the clouds will roll away

Liza, Liza
Don't delay
Come keep me company

I am lost in meditation
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone
This is just a dream that cannot last
When the magic of this mood has passed

You ain't been blue; no, no, no
You ain't been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues"

Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye

Thought I was in love before
And then you moved in next door
Pretty blue eyes, pretty blue eyes

All the guys from the neighborhood
Keep sayin' you sure look good
With your blue eyes, pretty blue eyes

All of a sudden my heart sings
When I remember little things
The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say good night

The crazy things we say and do
The fun it is to be with you
The magic thrill that's in your touch

I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

Perdido,
I look for my heart
It's perdido
I lost it way down in Torito
The day the fiesta started
Bolero,

I sway that they play the Bolero

Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up soon in the mornin'
I believe I'll dust my broom
Out with the best gal I'm lovin'
Now my friends can get in my room
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gonna write a letter, telephone every town I know

Amor perdido, si como dicen, es cierto que vives, dichosa sin mí
Vive dichosa, quizá otros labios, te den la fortuna, que yo no te di
Hoy me convenzo, que por tu parte, nunca fuiste mía, ni yo para ti
Ni tu para mi, ni yo para ti, todo fue un juego
Nomás que en la apuesta, yo puse y perdí

Fue un juego y yo perdí, esa es mi suerte
y pago, porque soy, buen jugador

They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away

Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now

- Очень красивая, - кивнул я. - И непростая. Не каждый музыкант такое сыграет. “Несчастные влюбленные”. Дюк Эллингтон и Билли Стрэйхорн. Старая уже. 1957 год, по-моему.
- Интересно, а почему она так называется - “Несчастные влюбленные”?
- Ну, имеются в виду влюбленные, которые родились под несчастливой звездой. Не повезло людям, понимаешь? В английском языке специальное слово есть - “star-crossed”. Это о Ромео и Джульетте. Эллингтон и Стрэйхорн написали сюиту для шекспировского фестиваля в Онтарио, и “Влюбленные” - одна из ее частей. Первыми ее исполнили Джонни Ходжес - он на альт-саксофоне был за Джульетту, а Пол Гонсалвес на тенор-саксе за Ромео.

Where did the naughty little flea go?
Won't somebody tell me?
Where did the naughty little flea go?
Won't somebody tell me?
Tell me now
Where did the naughty little flea go?
Nobody know, nobody know
Tell me now

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

I got my bag, i got my reservation
Spent each dime i could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
