Billy Joel - piano man

노래는 한 바에서 피아노 연주자가 다양한 인물들과의 대화를 통해 그들의 외로움과 과거의 기억을 일깨우는 이야기를 담고 있다
손님들은 음악을 통해 고독을 나누고, 그 순간에 기분 좋게 즐깁니다
피아노의 선율은 그들에게 일상을 잊게 해준다

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The Regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, ＂Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes＂

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke
or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, ＂bill, I believe this is killing me.＂
As the smile ran away from his face
＂Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place＂

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy
who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink
they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

sing us a song you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
well we're all in the mood
for a melody and you got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that
it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar
and put bread in my jar
And say, ＂Man, what are you doin' here.＂

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

sing us a song you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you got us
feeling alright
