Playback

Carlos Paião

We don't have the chords for this song yet.

Podes não saber cantar,
Nem sequer assobiar
Com certeza que não vais desafinar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

Só precisas de acertar,
Não tem nada que enganar,
E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

Põe o microfone à frente,
Muito disfarçadamente,
Vai sorrindo, que é p'ra gente
Lá presente
Não notar!...

Em play-back tu és alguém
Mesmo afónico cantas bem...
Em play-back,
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar
em play-back, respirar p'ra quê?
Quem não sabe também não vê...
Em play-back,
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Dá p'ra toda uma soirée!..

Podes não saber cantar,
Nem sequer assobiar
Com certeza que não vais desafinar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

Só precisas de acertar,
Não tem nada que enganar,
E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!
.
Abre a boca, fecha a boca
Não te enganes, não te esganes,
Vais ter uma apoteose,
Põe-te em pose
P´ra agradar!...
Em play-back é que tu és bom,
A cantar sem fugir do tom...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Hás-de sempre cantar
com play-back até pedem bis:
Mas decerto, dirás feliz...
Em play-back
A fazer play-back
E viva o play-back
Agradeces e sorris!!

Podes não saber cantar,
Nem sequer assobiar
Com certeza que não vais desafinar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

Só precisas de acertar,
Não tem nada que enganar,
E, assim mesmo, sem cantar vais encantar
Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

Em play-back, em play back, em play-back!

If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back

Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back

Get your mike in front of you now, if you don't know what to do
The lights are low, they'll never notice that the whole thing isn't true

Here's your chance, give it a good try
You've no voice - that's the reason why
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, that's the one way to get by

Must say, they don't really care
Make believe everyone will stare
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, you'll get over your nightmare

If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back

Get the rhythm in your mind and watch yourself - here comes the rhyme
I like you small, just keep them stalled, now hold it back, don't touch the line

Play your tape, may the mix be rough
Play the game - gotta play it tough
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, they will never get enough

I'm done how to play it cool
Do it right, man, you know the rule
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, now you tell me - who's the fool?

If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back

Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back

It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
