Jimmy Buffett: Frases en inglés

“I went down to Captain Tony's to get out of the heat
When I heard a voice call out to me, "Son, come have a seat."
I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes;
Our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies”

Last Mango in Paris
Song lyrics, Last Mango in Paris (1985)

“As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man,
I have chalked up many a mile.
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks,
And I've learned much from both of their styles.”

Son of a Son of a Sailor
Song lyrics, Son of a Son of a Sailor (1978)

Stepped on a pop top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.”

Margaritaville
Song lyrics, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes (1977)

“To me it was more about eight years of bad policy before (Obama) got there that let this happen. It was Dracula running the blood bank in terms of oil and leases. I think that has more to do with it than how the president reacted to it.”

Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?

And you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
And you're the only girl in town.”

“Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his green label each day,
He's writing his memoirs and losing his hearing,
But he don't care what most people say.
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion,
If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say,
Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic,
But I had a good life all the way.”

He Went to Paris

Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture.”

Son of a Son of a Sailor
Song lyrics, Son of a Son of a Sailor (1978)

“He went to Paris, looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so.
He was impressive, young and aggressive,
Saving the world on his own.
But the warm Summer breezes,
The French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay.
And Summers and Winters
Scattered like splinters,
And four or five years slipped away.”

And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea.

Tomorrow just a day away, for the Captain and the kid.”

Wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall.
You've seen it all, you've seen it all.Watched the men who rode you,
Switch from sails to steam.
And in your belly you hold the treasure
That few have ever seen.
Most of them dreams,
Most of them dreams.”

Cowboy in the Jungle
Song lyrics, Son of a Son of a Sailor (1978)

“I used to rule my world from a pay phone
And ships out on the sea.
But now times are rough
And I got too much stuff;
Can't explain the likes of me.But there's this one particular harbour,
So far but yet so near.
Where I see the days as they fade away,
And finally disappear.”

Heaven on earth with an onion slice.
Not too particular, not too precise.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.I like mine with lettuce and tomato,
Heinz Fifty-seven and French fried potatoes.
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.
Well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer?
For my cheeseburger in paradise.”

Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer.

'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years.”
