Piano Man [Radio Edit]
Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
Sono le nove di un sabato
The regular crowd shuffles in
La folla abituale entra a passo lento
There's an old man sitting next to me
C'è un vecchio seduto accanto a me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
Che fa l'amore con il suo gin e tonico
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
Dice, "figlio, puoi suonarmi un ricordo?
I'm not really sure how it goes
Non sono davvero sicuro di come vada
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
Ma è triste e dolce e lo conoscevo a menadito
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Quando indossavo i vestiti di un uomo più giovane"
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Cantaci una canzone, sei l'uomo del piano
Sing us a song tonight
Cantaci una canzone stasera
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
Beh, siamo tutti in vena di una melodia
And you've got us feelin' alright
E ci fai sentire bene
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
Ora John al bar è un mio amico
He gets me my drinks for free
Mi offre le mie bevande gratis
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
Ed è veloce con una battuta o per accendere la tua sigaretta
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
Ma c'è un posto dove preferirebbe essere
And the waitress is practicing politics
E la cameriera pratica politica
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Mentre gli uomini d'affari si ubriacano lentamente
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
Sì, stanno condividendo un drink chiamato solitudine
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Ma è meglio che bere da soli
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Cantaci una canzone, sei l'uomo del piano
Sing us a song tonight
Cantaci una canzone stasera
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
Beh, siamo tutti in vena di una melodia
And you got us feeling alright
E ci fai sentire bene
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
C'è una buona folla per un sabato
And the manager gives me a smile
E il manager mi regala un sorriso
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
Perché sa che sono io che sono venuti a vedere
To forget about life for a while
Per dimenticare la vita per un po'
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
E il piano, suona come un carnevale
And the microphone smells like a beer
E il microfono odora di birra
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
E si siedono al bar e mettono il pane nel mio barattolo
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"
E dicono, "uomo, cosa stai facendo qui?"
Oh, la, la, la, di, dee, da
Oh, la, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Cantaci una canzone, sei l'uomo del piano
Sing us a song tonight
Cantaci una canzone stasera
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
Beh, siamo tutti in vena di una melodia
And you've got us feeling alright
E ci fai sentire bene
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in
A multidão habitual entra aos poucos
There's an old man sitting next to me
Há um velho sentado ao meu lado
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
Fazendo amor com seu tônico e gin
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
Ele diz, "filho, você pode tocar uma memória para mim?
I'm not really sure how it goes
Eu não tenho certeza de como ela é
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
Mas é triste e doce e eu a conhecia completa
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Quando eu vestia as roupas de um homem mais jovem"
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum

E ele é rápido com uma piada ou para acender seu cigarro
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
Mas há um lugar que ele preferiria estar
And the waitress is practicing politics
E a garçonete está praticando política
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Enquanto os empresários lentamente ficam chapados
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

And the microphone smells like a beer
