Chicago, Chicago,
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago,
I will show you around - I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar
You'll lose the blues in Chicago,
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday (*)
Couldn't shut down.
On State Street, that great street,
I just want to say,
They do things they don't do
On Broadway,
They have the time,
The time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town. |
Chicago, Chicago,
Esa ciudad para caminar
Chicago, Chicago,
La recorrerás conmigo - La amo.
Apuesta tu último dólar
A que se te irán la tristezas en Chicago,
Chicago, la ciudad que Billy Sunday (*)
No logró clausurar.
En la Calle State, magnífica calle,
Quiero decirlo,
Hacen cosas que no hacen
en Broadway,
La pasan,
La pasan genial.
Ví a un hombre bailar con su esposa
En Chicago, Chicago, mi ciudad natal. |
