Traduzione del testo della canzone Minnie the Moocher - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, Dizzy Gillespie

Minnie the Moocher (originale)

Folks, here’s a story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a real live hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
She hung around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
Where he showed her how to kick the gong around ()
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi
Wooooooh
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
A palace home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hi
Hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Scoodley-woo-scoodley-woo-scoodley-woodley-woodley-woo
Zit-dit-dit-dit-dittle-but-dut-duttleoo-skit-dit-skittle-but-dit-zoy
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho

Minnie the Moocher (traduzione)

Gente, ecco una storia su Minnie the Moocher
Era una vera hoochie-koocher dal vivo
Era la più ruvida, la più tenace fragile
Ma Minnie aveva un cuore grande come un wha-a-le
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-ciao
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee ih
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
Andava in giro con un tipo di nome Smoky
Lo amava anche se era cocaina
L'ha portata a Chinatown
Dove le ha mostrato come si prende a calci il gong ()
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-ciao
Wooooooh
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee ih
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
Ha fatto un sogno sul re di Svezia
Le ha dato le cose di cui aveva bisogno
Un palazzo fatto di oro e acciaio
Un'auto diamantata con ruote di platino
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hi
Hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Scoodley-woo-scoodley-woo-scoodley-woodley-woodley-woo
Zit-dit-dit-dit-dittle-but-dut-duttleoo-skit-dit-skittle-but-dit-zoy
Le ha dato la sua casa di città e i suoi cavalli da corsa
Ogni pasto che mangiava era una dozzina di portate
Aveva un milione di dollari di nickel e monete da dieci centesimi
Si è seduta e li ha contati un milione di volte
Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-ciao
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee ih
Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
