I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out from the schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
And he played real good
On his clarinet for free
Now me I play for fortunes
And those velvet curtain calls
I got a black Limousine and two gentlemen
Who escort me through these halls
And I'll play if you got the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playin' real good for free
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on their TV
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain
As the signal changed
He was playing real good for free
[Spanish Translation]
Anoche dormà en un buen hotel
Hoy fui de compras por joyas
El viento se apresuró en la ciudad tan sucia
Y los niños dejaron de salir de las escuelas
Yo estaba parada en una esquina ruidosa
Esperando el caminante verde
Al otro lado de la calle, estaba él
Y tocó muy bien
Su clarinete, gratis
Ahora yo toco por fortunas
Y por esas cortinas de terciopelo
Tengo una limusina negra y dos caballeros
Acompañándome en los pasillos
Y tocaré solo si tienes el dinero
O si eres amigo mÃo
Pero el hombre solitario al lado del puesto de comida
Tocaba tan bien y gratis
Nadie se detenÃa para escucharlo
Aunque tocaba tan dulce y alto
Todos sabÃan que nunca estuvo en la TV
Asà que ignoraron su música
Quise acercarme y pedirle una canción
Tal vez una armonÃa
Escuché su refrán
Y mientras la señal cambiaba
Él tocaba muy bien, gratis
Gratis, gratis
