Piano bar [English translation]

A white shield in a light blue field

is his photo

anyone who knows him well

can call him without offense

"man of little melancholy"

He's a pianist in a piano bar

sells to everyone the things he does

you can't hope to let him cry

because he can't cry.

On his fingertips a little jazz

little shadows in his life

Only a pianist in a piano bar

and he will play until you'll want listen

he will not disappoint you

only a pianist in a piano bar

he will sing until you will listen

he will not disturbe you.

This weird kind of baby

wants company

a strong lough and friendship at supper

loves herself without joy.

He's a pianist in

sells to everyone the things he does

you can't hope to let him cry

because he can't cry.

On his fingertips a little jazz

little shadows in his life

Only a pianist in a piano bar

and will paly until you will listen

he won't disturb you

only a pianist in a piano bar

and he will sing until you will listen

you won't disappoint you
