Текст песни: Nica + перевод

Calm down Nica

You don’t have to wait outside of the Stanhope

For the doctor

Charlie Parker woke up in your apartment

On the sofa

And he’ll be fine, once he’s walked it off

And he’ll meet you in the front row

Of the Five Spot around midnight

So load up the Bentley

And bring the hollowed-out Bible

With the whiskey, 52nd Street

No phone calls from the cops or from your family

Can reach you

They all know you

You’re famous in your fur coat

With Thelonius, the high priest and the baroness

The cats all called you a butterfly

But that’s not quite right

Pannonica is a moth

Known to come alive in the dark of night

She might flutter by your table

She might whisper something secret in your ear

«You only need to hear one piece of advice

Each of us only gets one life»

So calm down Nica

You don’t have to drive on down to Baltimore

Anymore

The Cabaret Card’s waiting In the morning mail

Your mercy missions for musicians didn’t fail

The unyears, they are over

You’re forever black, brown, beige

The bebop baroness

The cats they called you a butterfly

But that’s not quite right

Pannonica is a moth

Known to come alive in the dark of night

She might flutter by your table

She might whisper something secret in your ear

«You only need to hear one piece of advice

Each of us only gets one life»

Nica spent hers flying

She was freer than the French

She always said

«Just listen to the music, man

And throw your heart over the fence

And the rest will follow»
