It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

Duke Ellington, Irving Mills

Lyrics Translation

What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music
There's something else that makes this tune complete

Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got

Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing, boy
I said, don't mean a thing and all you got to do is sing like
Nah, it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you've got, oh
Don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't got-a-that a swing-a
A bo ba doop, bo bo ba doop
Take it

What good is melody, what good is music
De que adianta a melodia, de que adianta a música
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Se não possui algo doce?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music
Não, não é a melodia e não é a música
There's something else that makes this tune complete
Há algo mais que torna essa melodia completa
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Sim, não significa nada, se não tiver aquele balanço
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
Bem, não significa nada, tudo que você tem que fazer é cantar
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Não faz diferença se é doce ou quente
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Apenas dê tudo de si para esse ritmo
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Sim, não significa nada, se não tiver aquele balanço
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing, boy
Não significa nada, não significa nada se você não tiver aquele balanço, rapaz
I said, don't mean a thing and all you got to do is sing like
Eu disse, não significa nada e tudo que você tem que fazer é cantar como
Nah, it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Não, não faz diferença se é doce ou quente
Just give that rhythm everything you've got, oh
Apenas dê tudo de si para esse ritmo, oh
Don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't got-a-that a swing-a
Não significa nada, rapaz, se não tiver aquele balanço
A bo ba doop, bo bo ba doop
A bo ba doop, bo bo ba doop

¿De qué sirve la melodía, de qué sirve la música
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Si no posee algo dulce?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music

There's something else that makes this tune complete
Hay algo más que hace esta melodía completa
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Sí, no significa nada, si no tiene ese ritmo
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
Bueno, no significa nada, lo único que tienes que hacer es cantar
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
No hace ninguna diferencia si es dulce o picante
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Solo dale a ese ritmo todo lo que tienes
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Sí, no significa nada, si no tiene ese ritmo
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing, boy
