A Me Me Piace 'O Blues

I love the blues and
Every day I sing
'Cause I’ve been quiet and now
It’s time to let loose
I’m rough around the edges and I know that in
Life I’ll play
For those who have their issues and
Don’t want to.
I love the sugar
That drips in the café
And with a pinch of anise but
Who’s better than me?
I’ve got the guts and I do
Whatever I want
'Cause I’m blues and I don’t
Want to change.
But then there’s the sea
And the patience to put up
With people who walk
Down the street yelling
I’m coming after you
'Cause I was born here
You know I’m black, black
But I can’t leave you.
I like those who face
You without holding back
Who are tough but then open up
'Cause they know they gotta
Raise their arms more
Don’t let yourself get tangled
And face it without holding back.
I love the blues and
Every day I sing
'Cause it burns my
Forehead in a way I
Let loose
I’m rough around the edges and I know that in
Life I’ll play
Blues tighten my teeth and
I’m now.
But then there’s the sea
And the patience to put up
With people who walk
Down the street yelling
I’m coming after you
'Cause I was born here
You know I’m black, black
But I can’t leave you.
And I’m now, I’m now, I’m
Now…
