Traduzione del testo della canzone Blow - Miles Davis

Blow (originale)

Folks, here’s a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red-hot hoochie-coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with a p-la-ti-num wheel
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)
Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh
(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)
Bour’rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)
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 all a million times
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

Blow (traduzione)

Gente, ecco una storia su Minnie the Moocher
Era una rovente hoochie-coocher
Era la più ruvida, la più tenace fragile
Ma Minnie aveva un cuore grande quanto una balena
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Ha scherzato con un tipo di nome Smokey
Lo amava anche se era cocaina
L'ha portata a Chinatown
E le ha mostrato come prendere a calci il gong
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ha fatto un sogno sul re di Svezia
Le ha dato le cose di cui aveva bisogno
Le ha dato una casa fatta di oro e acciaio
Un'auto diamantata con una ruota p-la-ti-num
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)
Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh
(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)
Bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)
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 tutti un milione di volte
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Povero Min, povero Min, povero Min
