Caro Emerald - That Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Introduction]
A night at the Copacabana can bring all kinds of excitement: wise guys on each side of the room making sure the big bosses are happy. Cigarettes sparking flames and smoking hot dames with jewels the size of Everest on their fingers. Those kept ladies can’t stop what our narrator already knows. In a devoted plea to the handsome crooner on stage, nothing’s gonna stop our girl now.

[Verse 1]
I'm in a little bit of trouble
And I'm in real deep
From the beginning to the end
He was no more than a friend to me

The thought is makin' me hazy
I think I'd better sit down
Cause like the sweetest serenade
Bet he knows he's got it made with me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Twisting round on a carousel
This speed's too much to stop
One second I'm thinkin' I'm feeling the lust
And then I feel a lot

[Chorus]
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

[Verse 2]
Now it's like I'm on a mission
Headed everywhere
And if it takes a little long
And it feels a little wrong, who cares?

My baby fits the description
And does it easily
A little Gable, some Astaire
When he dances I can hardly breathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Someone call a doctor
Need some help to rescue me
One second I'm thinkin' I must be lost
And he keeps on findin' me

[Chorus]
Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

[Chorus]
Pa da dub dub dub to to
I'm gonna find that man
(Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win)
Ooh I wanna love that man
Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

[Man speaking:]
"You know, I've been calling you for about two days now and I eh...
I wanted to see you darling, I really do, you know, because...
I think of you and eh...
All of me kind of goes a little bit crazy, so eh...
I believe it's a matter darling...
You should phone me, and we will have...
A night at the Cos Bar that neither of us will ever forget
A beautiful evening of love, lust and paradise
You can make it nice, call me back
On Riverside at 42239
Ciao ciao."
