Walkin down new streets, music is loud
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
But Im just an old man, Id probably get sore
cause they dont dance like carmen no more
She and ol cougie, my what a pair
Jus doin the rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin and glidin cross hollywood floors
But they dont dance like carmen no more
-- spoken:
Take it marvin
Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk
Well now she had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
How she could balance it, I wouldnt dare
But they dont dance like carmen nowhere
Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk
Ah but the ladys not with us, she died long ago
And they dont show her movies on late midnight shows
cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
cause they dont dance like carmen no more
Well now she and old cougie, my what a pair
Just doin the boogie as no one else dared
Slidin and glidin cross hardwood waxed floors
But they dont dance like carmen no more
No more
No no no more
And Im just an old man, Id probably get sore
But they dont dance like carmen no more
Nah they dont dance like carmen no more
Coda:
Ten cents dance, I might take a chance
But they dont dance like carmen no more
The lyrics THEY DON'T DANCE LIKE CARMEN NO MORE of JIMMY BUFFETT is also present in the album Live in anguilla (2007)
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
