I slept last night in a good hotel I slept last night in a good hotel Eu dormi noite passada em um bom hotel I went shopping today for jewels I went shopping today for jewels E fui ao shopping hoje pelas joias The wind rushed around in the dirty town The wind rushed around in the dirty town O vento corria em torno da cidade suja And the children let out from the schools And the children let out from the schools E os crianças saltavam das escolas I was standing on a noisy corner I was standing on a noisy corner Eu estava parada em uma esquina barulhenta Waiting for the walking green Waiting for the walking green À espera do verde andando Across the street he stood Across the street he stood Do outro lado da rua ele ficou And he played real good And he played real good E ele tocou realmente bem On his clarinet, for free On his clarinet, for free Em seu clarinete, gratuitamente Now me I play for fortunes Now me I play for fortunes Agora eu, eu apenas toco por fortunas And those velvet curtain calls And those velvet curtain calls E por aquelas chamadas cortinas de veludo I've got a black limousine I've got a black limousine Eu tenho uma limusine preta And two gentlemen And two gentlemen E dois cavalheiros Escorting me to the halls Escorting me to the halls Escoltando-me para os salões And I play if you have the money And I play if you have the money E eu toco, se você tiver o dinheiro Or if you're a friend to me Or if you're a friend to me Ou se você for um amigo para mim But the one man band But the one man band Mas a banda de um só homem By the quick lunch stand By the quick lunch stand Pelo rápido horário do almoço He was playing real good, for free He was playing real good, for free Ele estava tocando realmente bem, de graça Nobody stopped to hear him Nobody stopped to hear him Ninguém parou para ouvi-lo Though he played so sweet and high Though he played so sweet and high Embora ele tenha tocado tão doce e claramente They knew he had never They knew he had never Eles sabiam que ele nunca tinha Been on their TV Been on their TV Ido na TV So they passed his music by So they passed his music by Então, eles passaram por sua música I meant to go over and ask for a song I meant to go over and ask for a song Eu queria ir lá e pedir uma música Maybe put on a harmony Maybe put on a harmony Talvez colocar uma harmonia I heard his refrain I heard his refrain Eu ouvi seu refrão As the signal changed As the signal changed Como o sinal de mudança He was playing real good, for free He was playing real good, for free Ele estava tocando realmente bem, de graça
