Mina & Ella - Mack the Knife -- Mina50

Mina e Ella cantano dal vivo "Mack the knife" o "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", in origine "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", canzone composta da Kurt Well su testo di Bertold Brecht per lo spettacolo "Die Dreigroschenoper", in italiano "L'opera da tre soldi", rappresentata a Berlino il 1928. Questa "song" ha avuto molti interpreti da Frank Sinatra a Bobby Darin e in italiano Milva e Milly.

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has macheath dear
So theres never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin life
Someones sneaking round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife

From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping on down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet mackies back in town

My man louis miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy, hes done something rash

Old satchmo, louis armstrong, bobby darrin
Did this song nice, lady ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes, he aint gonna add nothing new

But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, jack, I now I cant lose
When I tell you, all about mack the knife babe
Its an offer, you can never refuse

We got patrick williams, bill miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, youre ever gonna hear

Oh sookie taudry, jenny diver, polly peachum, old miss lulu brown

Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that macheaths back in town
Youd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because macheaths back in town

Due mostri..però..i gusti sono gusti:uno sguardo di Mina e io crollo se poi aggiungo la sua voce e tutta la sua figura..allora vado in trance! La voce di Mina più Mina hanno creato questa dea italiana. Mina sei sempre nei nostri cuori

@LADYANIMA1974 Certo è 100 volte più brava e intensa. Ella Fitzgerald è una Ferrari.

[LADYANIMA1974]

Mi arriva molto meno la voce di Ella rispetto a quella di Mina.

[azimut1972]

Secondo me non avete fatto un favore a Mina...

Gracias por subir estos videos! keep sharing (I adore Ella since I had 12 years old, and never found this before... and of course I admire -so amazing- Mina... but for Brecht I prefer Milva)
