Текст песни One Note Samba - Al Jarreau

This is just a little samba
Built upon one single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still this note

Now this new one is the consequence
Of the ones we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you

There's so many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing

So I come back to the one note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into this one note
All the love I feel for you

There are those who want the whole show
Dó-ré-mi-fá-lá-ti-dó
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

There's so many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing

I have used up all
The scale I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing

So I come back to this one note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into this one note
All the love I feel for you

Now there are those who want the whole show
Polka dot to indigo
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
