The Real American Song (Is a Rag) - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)/Nelson Riddle (纳尔逊里德尔)[00:00:00]

Written by：Ira Gershwin/George Gershwin[00:00:01]

Near Barcelona the peasant crooned[00:00:12]

The old traditional Spanish tunes[00:00:17]

The Neapolitan street song sighs[00:00:23]

You think of Italian skys[00:00:29]

Each nation has a creative vein[00:00:36]

Originating a native strain[00:00:41]

With folk songs plaintive and others gay[00:00:47]

In their own peculiar way[00:00:53]

American folk songs I feel[00:01:00]

Have a much stronger appeal[00:01:06]

The real American folksong is a rag[00:01:28]

A mental jag[00:01:33]

A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues[00:01:35]

The critics called it a joke song but now[00:01:39]

They've changed their tune and they like it somehow[00:01:43]

For it's innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter sweeter[00:01:48]

Than a classic strain boy you can't remain still or quiet for it's a riot[00:01:54]

The real American folksong[00:01:59]

Is like a fountain of you'th[00:02:01]

You taste and it elates you and then invigorates you[00:02:04]

The real American folksong the masses coaxed on is a rag[00:02:09]

The real American folksong is a rag[00:02:47]

A mental jag[00:02:51]

A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues[00:02:54]

The critics called it a joke song but now[00:02:57]

They've changed their tune and they like it somehow[00:03:02]

For it's innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter sweeter[00:03:06]

Than a classic strain boy you can't remain still or quiet for it's a riot[00:03:12]

The real American folksong[00:03:18]

Is like a fountain of you'th[00:03:20]

You taste and it elates you and then invigorates you[00:03:22]

The real American folksong is a rag[00:03:27]
