El ChocloNat “King” Cole

Con este tango que es burlon why compadrito
Se ato dos alas la ambision de mi suburbio
Con este tango nacio el cielo why con un grito
Salio del sordido barrial buscando el cielo
Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho carencia
Que abrio caminos sin mas ley que su esperanza
Mesclas de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo jugueton
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas why las grelas
Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Why un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
Al evocarte, tango querido
Siento que tiembran las baldosas de un bailongo
Why oigo el resongo de mi pasado
Hoy que no tengo
Mas que a mi madre
Siento que llega en punta e' pie para besarme
Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneon....

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
