歌词
5000 light years from Birdland
离开鸟园爵士俱乐部似乎已经很久了
But I'm still preachin' the rythym
但是我还在继续唱歌
在鸟园爵士度过紧张的几年
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
我还是在坚持做音乐
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
离开鸟园爵士之后的几年
我还是能感受到那种精神
Years from the land of the Bird
离开鸟园爵士似乎已经很久了
And I am still feelin' the spirit
但是我知道它会继续经营下去
绰号叫大鸟的查理·帕克为它起名叫鸟园 最终也成就了它的美名
5000 light years from Birdland
于是他在这里成为常驻乐手
But I know people can hear it
鸟园爵士就这样开始了
故事发生在鸟园爵士
Bird named it, Bird made it
地处中心地段
Bird heard it, then played it
我想起了一个爵士乐俱乐部
Well stated Birdland
我们以前经常去那消遣
It happened down in Birdland
在第52街
In the middle of that hub
每个人都听说过这个地方
他们以鸟的名字命名它
I remember one jazz club
那里旋律盎然
Where we went to pat feet
堪称爵士乐的人间天堂
他们在那里的乐手
Down on 52nd Street
都棒极了
鸟园爵士 我在歌唱鸟园爵士
Everybody heard that word
鸟园爵士 古老美丽的鸟园爵士
That they named it after Bird
天哪 这音乐太燃了
真的吗 那让我们兴奋起来吧
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
他们都出去狂欢了
The jazz corner of the world
