Lyrics and translation Liran' Roll - El Pianista




El Pianista
The Piano Player
Esta es la historia de un sábado
This is the story of a Saturday
Que importa cual mes
What does it matter which month
Y de un hombre sentado al piano
And of a man sitting at the piano
Que importa cual viejo cafe
What does it matter which old cafe
Toma el vaso y le tiemblan las manos
He takes the glass and his hands tremble
Apestando entre humo y sudor
Stinking between smoke and sweat
Y se agarra a su tabla de náufrago
And he holds on to his life raft
Volviendo a su eterna canción
Returning to his eternal song
Oh-oh- la- ra- ra-lara- raaa
Oh-oh- la- ra- ra-lara- raaa
Lara-ra-lara-ra-a-a
Lara-ra-lara-ra-a-a
Toca otra vez viejo perdedor
Play again old loser
Haces que me sienta bien
You make me feel good
Es tan triste la noche que tu cancion
The night is so sad that your song
Sabe a derrota y a miel
Tastes like defeat and honey
Cada vez el espejo en la pared
Every time the mirror on the wall
Le devuelve más joven la piel
Makes his skin look younger
Se le encienden los ojos y su niñez
His eyes light up and his childhood
Viene a tocar junto a él
Comes to play beside him
Pero siempre hay borrachos con babas
But there are always drunkards with drool
Que le recuerdan quien fue
That remind him who he used to be
El más joven maestro al piano
The youngest maestro at the piano
Vencido por una mujer
Defeated by a woman
Oh-oh-la-ra-lara-raaa
Oh-oh-la-ra-lara-raaa
Lara-ra-lara-ra-a-a
Lara-ra-lara-ra-a-a
Ella nunca quiso echar raíces
She never wanted to grow roots
Que pudieran sus alas cortar
That could cut her wings
Y en la jaula metida la vida se le iba
And caged in life was passing her
Y quiso sus fuerzas probar
And she wanted to test her strength
No lo deja que de malos pasos
He doesn't let her take any wrong steps
Aunque nunca desea su mal
Though he never wishes her harm
Pero a ratos con furia golpea el piano
But at times he hits the piano in anger
Y hay algunos que le han visto llorar
And there are some who have seen him cry
Oh-oh-la-ra-ra-lara-raaa
Oh-oh-la-ra-ra-lara-raaa
Lara -ra-lara-ra-a-a
Lara -ra-lara-ra-a-a
Toca otra vez viejo perdedor
Play again old loser
Haces que me sienta bien
You make me feel good
Es tan triste la noche que tu canción
The night is so sad that your song
Sabe a derrota y miel
Tastes like defeat and honey
El micrófono huele a cerveza
The microphone smells like beer
Y el calor se podía tocar
And the heat could be touched
Solitarios oscuros buscando pareja
Lonely people looking for a partner
Apurados un sábado más
Hurrying on another Saturday
Hay un hombre aferrado al piano
There is a man holding on to the piano
La emoción empapada en alcohol
His emotion soaked in alcohol
Y una voz que le dice: pareces cansado
And a voice that says: You seem tired
Y aún no ha salido ni el sol
And the sun has not even risen yet
La-la-la-lara-raaa-a-a
La-la-la-lara-raaa-a-a
Lara -la-rarara-aaaa
Lara -la-rarara-aaaa
Toca otra vez viejo perdedor
Play again old loser
Haces que me sienta bien
You make me feel good
Es tan triste la noche que tu canción
The night is so sad that your song
Sabe a derrota y a miel
Tastes like defeat and honey
