《Nina》歌词

[00:00:00] Nina - Noel Coward

[00:00:04] Written by：Coward

[00:00:26] Seсorita Nina from Argentina knew all the answers

[00:00:30] Though her relatives and friends were perfect dancers

[00:00:32] She swore she'd never dance a step until she died

[00:00:36] She said I've seen too many movies and all they prove is too idiotic

[00:00:40] They all insist that South America's exotic

[00:00:43] Where it couldn't be more boring if it tried

[00:00:47] She added firmly that she hated

[00:00:49] The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon

[00:00:52] She also positively stated

[00:00:54] That she could not abide a Southern moon

[00:00:57] She refused to Begin The Beguine when they requested it

[00:01:03] And she made an embarrassing scene if anyone suggested it

[00:01:08] For she detested it

[00:01:14] Though no one ever could be keener than little Nina

[00:01:17] On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba

[00:01:21] When they proposed to her she simply left them flat

[00:01:24] She said that love should be impulsive but not convulsive

[00:01:29] And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation

[00:01:34] And that she'd rather read a book and that was that

[00:01:46] Seс orita Nina from Argentina despised the Tango

[00:01:50] Although she never was a girl to let a man go

[00:01:53] She wouldn't sacrifice her principles for sex

[00:01:56] She looked with scorn on the gyrations

[00:01:58] Of her relations who danced the conga

[00:02:01] And swore that if she had to stand it any longer

[00:02:04] She'd lose all dignity and wring their silly necks

[00:02:07] She said that frankly she was blinded

[00:02:10] To all the over advertised romantic charms

[00:02:15] And then she got more bloody minded

[00:02:17] And told them where to put their tropic palms

[00:02:20] She said I hate to be pedantic but I'm driven nearly frantic

[00:02:23] When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of sluts

[00:02:27] Forever wriggling their guts

[00:02:30] It drives me absolutely nuts

[00:02:33] She declined to Begin The Beguine when they besought her to

[00:02:39] And with language profane and obscene she cursed the man who taught her to

[00:02:45] She cursed Cole Porter too

[00:02:51] From this it's fairly clear that Nina in her demeanour

[00:02:55] Was so offensive that when the hatred of her friends grew too intensive

[00:02:59] She thought she'd better beat it while she had the chance

[00:03:03] After some trial and tribulation she reached the station

[00:03:08] And met a sailor who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela

[00:03:12] And so he married him because he couldn't dance

[00:03:16] There surely never could've been a

[00:03:19] More irritating girl than Nina

[00:03:22] They never speak in Argentina

[00:03:24] Of this degenerate bambina

[00:03:28] Who had the luck to find romance

[00:03:33] But resolutely wouldn't dance

[00:03:41] She would dance for it
