BILLY JOEL, "Piano Man"
sweet    waitress   old man    microphone memory    his face   a wife    a song
a friend    a Saturday   feeling

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an ______________sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me a _____________
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's ______________
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

Sing us ________________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 feeling alright

Now John at the bar is _____________of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As a smile ran away from _____________
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place."

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

And the _____________is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call "Loneliness"
But it's better than drinking alone

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 _____________alright

It's a pretty good crowd for _____________
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano it sounds like a carnival
And the ________________smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"

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 feeling alright
Billy Joel - El hombre del piano




Son las nueve de un sábado,
la multitud de siempre entra arrastrando los pies,
hay un hombre mayor sentado a mi lado,
haciéndole el amor a su gintonic.

Él dice, hijo, ¿puedes tocarme un recuerdo?
No estoy realmente seguro de cómo suena,
pero es triste y es dulce, y me la sabía completa
cuando vestía ropas de hombre joven.
Cántanos una canción, eres el hombre del piano,
cántanos una canción esta noche.
Bien, todos estamos de humor para una melodía,
y tú nos haces sentir bien.
Ahora John, el de la barra, es un amigo mío,
me consigue bebidas gratis,
y es rápido con un chiste, o para encender tu pitillo.
Pero hay un lugar donde (él) preferiría estar.
Me dice, Bill, creo que esto me está matando,
cuando la sonrisa desaparece de su cara,
entonces estoy seguro de poder ser una estrella de cine,
si pudiera salir de este lugar.


Ahora Paul es un novelista agente inmobiliario
que nunca tuvo tiempo para una esposa,
y está hablando con Davy, que aún está en la Marina,
y probablemente lo estará de por vida.

Y la camarera está haciendo política,
cuando el hombre de negocios se emborracha poco a poco.
Sí, comparten una trago al que llaman soledad,
pero es mejor que beber solo.

Cántanos una canción, eres el hombre del piano,
cántanos una canción esta noche.
Bien, todos estamos de humor para una melodía,
y tú nos haces sentir bien.
Es un buena cantidad de gente para un sábado,
y el gerente me da una sonrisa,
porque sabe que es a mí,
a quien han venido a ver,
para olvidarse de la 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 pan (dinero) en mi frasco,
y dicen: "chico, ¿qué estás haciendo aquí?"


Cántanos una canción, eres el hombre del piano,
cántanos una canción esta noche.
Bien, todos estamos de humor para una melodía,
y tú nos haces sentir bien.
