Joe El Taxi

Vanessa Paradis · Other Songs - Vanessa Paradis

(Franck Langolff/Étienne Roda-Gil) adaptation espagnole Étienne Roda-Gil



Joe el taxi de Calatayud no corre con soda.

Su taxi sol sabe ir de mar a mar

De mar a mar, de bar a bar, y el Sena y París en un film.

En su carro, es música sol y yo, es la rumba, el rock, el mambo guasón.



Joe el taxi es así, es ron y mambo, calle garaje.

Es su casa, ron y mambo, Joe, Joe, Joe.



En su carro, es música yo y sol.

Es la rumba, el rock so, el mambo guasón.

Corre Joe, corre Joe, corre Joe en la noche de carbón.

Joe el taxi y Xavier Cugat, Joe el taxi y Yma Sumac, Joe, Joe, Joe.



(Saxophone solo)



Joe el taxi es así, es ron y mambo, calle garaje.

Joe el taxi y los mariachis, Joe el taxi y el cha-cha-chi.

Joe el taxi y el cha-cha-chi.

Corre Joe, corre Joe en la noche de carbón.

Joe el taxi y los mariachis, Joe el taxi.
