Lirik Basin Street Blues - Ella Fitzgerald, Sy Oliver's Orchestra (Terjemahan)

Alternatif

Won't you come along with me
Mau ikut bersamaku
to the Mississippi
ke Mississippi
we'll take a boat to the land of dreams
kita akan naik perahu ke tanah impian
Steam down the river, down to New Orleans
Meluncur di sungai, menuju New Orleans

The band's there to meet us
Orkestra sudah menunggu kita
Old friends there to greet us
Teman-teman lama siap menyambut kita
Where all the proud and elite folks meet
Tempat semua orang terhormat berkumpul
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
Surga di bumi, mereka menyebutnya Basin Street

Basin Street is the street
Basin Street adalah jalan
where the best folks always meet
di mana orang-orang terbaik selalu berkumpul
in New Orleans, land of dreams
di New Orleans, tanah impian
you'll never know how nice it seems,
kamu takkan pernah tahu betapa indahnya,
or just how much it really means
atau seberapa berarti sebenarnya

Glad to be, oh yes-siree
Senang sekali, oh ya, tentu saja
Where welcome's free and dear to me
Di mana sambutan hangat dan berarti bagiku
Where I can lose, lose my Basin Street Blues
Di mana aku bisa melupakan, menghilangkan Basin Street Bluesku

Basin Street, oh Basin Street
Basin Street, oh Basin Street
Is the street, mama (scat)
Adalah jalan, mama (scat)
New Orleans, land of dreams
New Orleans, tanah impian
(scat)
(scat)
