Clothes must play a part
To light an eye, to win a heart;
They say a gown can almost speak,
If it is chic.
Should you select the right effect,
You cannot miss,
You may be sure,
He will tell you this.

«Благодаря нему я научился играть блюз на фортепиано с рифами (небольшие ритмические фигуры, часто служащие сопровождением к сольной импровизации – прим. переводчика). Питерсон был лучшим».

Say, have you seen a Carioca?
It's not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs

It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wicked wacky-wicky
But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye

The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though he's some other place, his face I see

At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air

There is no great big ending, no sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble, and she doesn't even cry
And just as I begin to say that we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
There is no big explosion, no tempest in the tea
The world does not stop turning round, there's no big tragedy
Sitting in a coffee shop with cheesecake and some apple pie
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye

I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by

Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain

Blow, ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good (no good)

Go, ill wind, go away
Skies are oh-so gray
Around my neighborhood, and that's no good

Melancholy mood forever haunts me
Steals upon me in the night, forever taunts me
Oh, what a lonely soul am I, stranded high and dry
By a melancholy mood

Gone is every joy and inspiration
Tears are all I have to show, no consolation
All I can see is grief and gloom, till the crack of doom

Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something.
I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst,
My two feet haven't met yet,
But I'll be teacher's pet yet,
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst.

Nothing's impossible I have found,

Oscar Peterson - Piano

A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long, lonely day
I walk the avenue hoping I'll run into
The lovely sight of you coming my way

I stop right across from your door
But you don't see me anymore
So back to my room I go with a gloom

My dear, I've a feeling you are
So near and yet so far
You appear like a radiant star
First so near, then again so far
I just start getting you keen
On flinches galore with me
When fate steps in on the scene
And mops up the floor with me

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare, gloom and mis'ry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poorself together,

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
A fairgrounds painted swings,
These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
And still my heart has wings.
