Il boogie-woogie boogie [English translation]

He was a musician who lived in the north

amidst the squalid clubs of Chicago-New York.

He had dark skin always in the midst of trouble.

He played the piano as loud as never before.

The women looked at him with lust

and the men were not ready to have mercy.

This is the boogie-woogie boogie

that plays in bars.

Dance the boogie-woogie boogie

and you feel like a star.

If you wonder who invented

jazz, perhaps it was him.

Don't ask me his name because I don't know it.

I think people called him Pine Top.

There were those who swore he came from the south

but he had neither proof nor father.

The tough ones beat him without a reason,

the women invited him to tea.

This is the boogie-woogie boogie

that plays in bars.

Dance the boogie-woogie boogie

and you feel like a star.

When you think who invented

jazz, you think of him.

Who knows why from now on

here we only talk about

the boogie wave in the American style!

Dance the boogie-woogie boogie

and you never go wrong.

He was a good musician, yes, but nothing more.

Perhaps he would have been better off staying in the south.

He had a talent for getting into trouble.

He hit the floor like never before.

The tough were ready to have no mercy,

the women looked at him with lust.

This is that boogie-woogie boogie

that you dance to in clubs.

With the boogie-woogie boogie,

I give the best of myself

and you ask me how much I love

jazz—no more than you

Who knows why from now on
