Title: Amsterdam |
| [00:03.33] |
by桃花郎 |
| [00:04.75] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [00:06.06] |
There's a sailor who sings |
| [00:11.99] |
Of the dream that he brings |
| [00:15.08] |
From the wide open sea |
| [00:19.42] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [00:22.82] |
There's a sailor who sleeps |
| [00:27.40] |
While the river bank weeps |
| [00:29.96] |
To the old willow tree |
| [00:33.48] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [00:36.72] |
There's a sailor who dies |
| [00:43.89] |
Full of beer, full of cries |
| [00:47.95] |
In a drunken town fight |
| [00:51.88] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [00:53.12] |
There's a sailor who's born |
| [00:55.94] |
On a hot muggy morn |
| [00:58.93] |
By the dawn's early light |
| [01:08.69] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [01:11.91] |
Where the sailors all meet |
| [01:13.70] |
There's a sailor who eats |
| [01:15.93] |
Only fish heads and tails |
| [01:18.91] |
And he'll show you his teeth |
| [01:21.68] |
That have rotten too soon |
| [01:24.31] |
That can haul up the sails |
| [01:26.84] |
That can swallow the moon |
| [01:29.02] |
And he yells to the cook |
| [01:32.64] |
With his arms open wide |
| [01:34.26] |
"Hey, bring me more fish |
| [01:36.36] |
Throw it down by my side" |
| [01:40.16] |
And he wants so to belch |
| [01:42.75] |
But he's too full to try |
| [01:45.77] |
So he stands up and laughs |
| [01:47.32] |
And he zip up his fly |
| [01:49.29] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [01:51.74] |
You can see sailors dance |
| [01:55.10] |
Paunches bursting their pants |
| [01:57.59] |
Grinding women to porch |
| [02:00.50] |
They've forgotten the tune |
| [02:03.13] |
That their whiskey voice |
| [02:04.09] |
croaked |
| [02:05.64] |
Splitting the night |
| [02:07.10] |
With the roar of their jokes |
| [02:09.63] |
And they turn and they dance |
| [02:12.25] |
And they laugh and they lust |
| [02:14.85] |
Till the rancid sound |
| [02:17.39] |
of the accordion bursts |
| [02:20.14] |
And then out of the night |
| [02:22.62] |
With their pride in their pants |
| [02:25.47] |
And the sluts that they tow |
| [02:27.86] |
Underneath the street lamps |
| [02:30.23] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [02:32.99] |
There's a sailor who drinks |
| [02:35.08] |
And he drinks and he drinks |
| [02:36.79] |
And he drinks once again |
| [02:40.78] |
He'll drink to the health |
| [02:43.61] |
Of the whores of Amsterdam |
| [02:46.59] |
Who've given their bodies |
| [02:48.31] |
To a thousand other men |
| [02:50.32] |
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue |
| [02:53.33] |
Their goodness all gone |
| [02:55.86] |
For a few dirty coins |
| [02:58.57] |
Well he just can't go on |
| [03:02.91] |
Throws his nose to the sky |
| [03:06.10] |
And he aims it up above |
| [03:08.64] |
And he pisses like I cry |
| [03:11.33] |
On the unfaithful love |
| [03:13.15] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
| [03:14.99] |
In the port of Amsterdam |
