Текст песни Harlem On My Mind (Gertrude Niessen) с переводом

I’ve got Harlem on my mind

I’ve a longing to be lowdown

And my «parlez-vous» will not ring true

With Harlem on my mind

I’ve been wined and I’ve been dined

But I’m heading for a showdown

'Cause I can’t go on from night to dawn

With Harlem on my mind

I go to supper with a French Marquis

Each evening after the show

My lips begin to whisper «Mon Cheri»

But my heart keeps singing «Hi-de-ho»

I’ve become too darn refined

And at night I hate to go down

To the high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed

With Harlem on my mind

Em’ralds in my bracelets, diamonds in my rings

A Riviera chateau and a lot of other things

And I’m blue, so blue am I

Lots of ready money in seven diff’rent banks

I counted up this morning, it was 'bout a million francs

And I’m blue, so blue, and I know why

I’ve got Harlem on my mind

And I’m longin' to be lowdown

And my «parlez-vous» will not ring true

With Harlem on my mind

I’ve been dined and I’ve been wined

But I’m headin' for a showdown

'Cause I can’t go on from night to dawn

With Harlem on my mind

I go to supper with a French Marquis

Each evening after the show

My lips begin to whisper «Mon Cheri»

But my heart keeps singin' «Hi-de-ho»

I’ve become too damned refined

And at night I hate to go down

To that high-falutin' flat that Lady Mendel designed

With Harlem on my mind
