Default Billy Joel - Piano Man

Piano Man
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 da da
La la, di di da da dum

Chorus:
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 all 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 and he'll light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus
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 all 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 da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
sing us a song you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight














Pianista
Billy Joel
Son las nueve en punto de un sábado
La multitud habitual entra
Hay un viejo sentado cerca de mí
Haciéndole el amor a su gin & tonic

Dice, “Hijo, ¿Puedes tocar para mi una vieja canción?
No estoy seguro de cómo era
Peor es triste y dulce y me la sabía entera
Cuando llevaba ropa de joven.”

La la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum

Estribillo:
Cántanos una canción, eres el pianista
Cántanos una canción esta noche
Tenemos ganas de una melodía
Y tu nos haces sentir bien

Ahora John el de la barra es amigo mío
Me da bebidas gratis
Se le dan bien los chistes y te enciende el cigarrillo
Pero hay un lugar en el que preferiría estar
Dice “Bill, creo que esto me está matando.”
Mientras la sonrisa desaparece de su cara
“Bueno, estoy seguro que podría ser una estrella de cine
si pudiera largarme de aquí”

O la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Ahora Paul es un ‘novelista’ de bienes e inmuebles
Que nunca tuvo tiempo para una esposa
Y está hablando con Davy, que está aún en la Marina
Y probablemente lo estará de por vida

Y la camarera practica política
Mientras el empresario se emborracha lentamente
Sí, comparten una bebida llamada soledad
Pero es mejor que beber sólo

Estribillo:
Cántanos una canción, eres el pianista
Cántanos una canción esta noche
Tenemos ganas de una melodía
Y tu nos haces sentir bien

Hay una buena clientela para ser sábado
Y el gerente me sonríe
Porque sabe que soy a quien han venido a ver
Para olvidar su vida por un rato
Y el piano, suena como un carnaval
Y el micrófono huele como una cerveza
Y se sientan en la barra y ponen monedas en mi frasco
Y dicen, “Hombre, ¿Qué haces aquí?”

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Estribillo:
Cántanos una canción, eres el pianista
Cántanos una canción esta noche
