Pinball Wizard

Peter Townshend

Lyrics Translation

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it? I don't know
What makes him so good?

Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even on my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

Ever since I was a young boy
Desde que eu era um menino jovem
I've played the silver ball
Eu joguei a bola de prata
From Soho down to Brighton
De Soho até Brighton
I must have played 'em all
Eu devo ter jogado todas
But I ain't seen nothing like him
Mas eu não vi nada como ele
In any amusement hall
Em qualquer salão de diversões
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Aquele garoto surdo, mudo e cego
Sure plays a mean pinball
Com certeza joga um pinball cruel
He stands like a statue
Ele fica como uma estátua
Becomes part of the machine
Torna-se parte da máquina
Feeling all the bumpers
Sentindo todos os amortecedores
Always playing clean
Sempre jogando limpo
He plays by intuition
Ele joga por intuição
The digit counters fall
Os contadores digitais caem
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Aquele garoto surdo, mudo e cego
Sure plays a mean pinball
Com certeza joga um pinball cruel
He's a pinball wizard
Ele é um mago do pinball
There has got to be a twist
Tem que haver um truque
A pinball wizard's
Um mago do pinball
Got such a supple wrist
Tem um pulso tão flexível
How do you think he does it? I don't know
Como você acha que ele faz isso? Eu não sei
What makes him so good?
O que o torna tão bom?
Ain't got no distractions
Não tem distrações
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
Não pode ouvir zumbidos e sinos
Don't see no lights a-flashin'
Não vê luzes piscando
Plays by sense of smell
Joga pelo sentido do olfato
Always gets a replay
Sempre consegue um replay
Never seen him fall
Nunca o vi cair
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Aquele garoto surdo, mudo e cego
Sure plays a mean pinball
Com certeza joga um pinball cruel
I thought I was
Eu pensei que eu era
The Bally table king
O rei da mesa Bally
But I just handed
Mas eu acabei de entregar
My pinball crown to him
Minha coroa de pinball para ele
Even on my favorite table
Mesmo na minha mesa favorita
He can beat my best
Ele pode bater o meu melhor
His disciples lead him in
Seus discípulos o levam
And he just does the rest
E ele apenas faz o resto
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Ele tem dedos loucos para o flipper
Never seen him fall
Nunca o vi cair
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Aquele garoto surdo, mudo e cego
Sure plays a mean pinball
Com certeza joga um pinball cruel
Ever since I was a young boy
Desde que era joven
I've played the silver ball
He jugado la bola de plata
From Soho down to Brighton
Desde Soho hasta Brighton
I must have played 'em all
Seguro los jugué todos
But I ain't seen nothing like him
Pero nunca había visto nada como él
In any amusement hall
En cualquier salón de diversiones
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Ese sordo, tonto y ciego niño
Sure plays a mean pinball
Seguro juega pinball muy bien
He stands like a statue
Él se para como estatua
Becomes part of the machine
Se convierte en parte de la máquina
Feeling all the bumpers
Sintiendo todos los para choces
Always playing clean
Siempre jugando limpio
He plays by intuition
Él juega por intuición
The digit counters fall
Los contadores de dígitos caen

A pinball wizard's
Un mago del pinball
Got such a supple wrist
Tengo una muñeca tan flexible
How do you think he does it? I don't know
¿Cómo crees que él lo hace? No lo sé
What makes him so good?
¿Qué lo hace tan bueno?
Ain't got no distractions
No tiene distracciones
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
No puede escuchar zumbadores y campanas
Don't see no lights a-flashin'
No ve ningunas luces brillar
Plays by sense of smell

Always gets a replay
Siempre recibe una respuesta

Incluso en mi mesa favorita

Sus discípulos lo llevan
And he just does the rest
Y él lo hace el resto
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Él tiene dedos de aleta locos
Never seen him fall
Nunca lo he visto caer

Ese sordo, tonto y ciego niño
Sure plays a mean pinball
Seguro juega pinball muy bien
