Bessie Smith - Safety mama

Tekst :

Let me tell you how and why what no-good man done to me
He called me pretty, young and wild, after that he let me be
He d taken advantage of my mouth, and that you understand
So, wait a while, show you, chile, just how to treat a no-good man
Make him stay at home, wash and iron,
tell all the neighbors he done lost his mind
Give your house rent shake
on Saturday night
Monday morning you ll hold collectors good and tight
You see a man you really like
Let him bite that monkey, brother, in his back
When his cruel heart turn, his love breaks down
hold him where you got him make him stay in town,
cause I m a safety woman, lookin for a safety man
Make him stay at home, help me wash and iron,
the neighbors know he done lost his mind
I give a house rent shake on Saturday night
Monday morning I held collectors good and tight
I seen a man I really like
I let him bite that monkey, brother, smack in his back
When his cruel heart turn, his love breaks down
I hold it where I had it and he stayed in town,
I m a safety woman, and I had to have a safety man
I ain t good lookin , I m built for speed
I ve got ev rything a pigmeat needs
Cause I m a safety woman, lookin for a safety man

    You are alive

    You re doing fine, most of the time
    You sit and wonder what tomorrow brings

    Nie znasz mnie

    Kogo widzisz gdy przechodzisz obok mnie
    tak bardzo wiedzieć chcę
    czy jestem małym dzieckiem , które błądzi wciąż
    czy widzisz jeszcze coś
    właściwie tak naprawdę teraz myślę , że
    sam nie wiesz jak to jest

    A jednak chociaż nie znasz mnie
    osiągasz wszystko co robię i co czuję

    Hicimos un trato

    Hicimos un trato, no s? si te acuerdas
    Si lo olvidaste, olvídame... y si pasaste...
    Pasa de m? también.
    Que un trato, es un trato, mucho más que un contrato
    Me has mentido tanto, que a ver, eh...

    Y a mi orgullo lo encontr? br> en un bar...
