Translation
Bilingual
Shots rang out from the joint next door
A woman screams on the upper floor
The footsteps thunder down the fire escape
Sirens coming closer, might be too late
Opera spills out a neighbor's window
Just across the avenue
Hear the heartbeat of the urban jungle
It seems to play a rhapsody in blue
The thought be sinking, don't be afraid
That's the sound of the street serenade
It's one big circus here on parade
It keeps on jammin' a street serenade
A chorus of horns in a traffic jam
Jack hammers roar like they don't give a damn, yeah
Someone wailing on a bottleneck guitar
Comes blasting out of a gay bar
A lonely trumpet down the boulevard
Plays an homage to restless souls
The rhythm of tires over potholes
And in the distance, a church bell tolls
A thousand whistles and not on our neighbors
Plays its part in the street serenade
The echoes of prayers from a holy crusade
Heading up town for the street serenade, yeah
ย
If you're new in town, don't be afraid
That's the sound of the street serenade
It's one big circus in a long parade
That keeps on jammin' a street serenade
ย
Some people said it's a sea of noise
But they don't hear the unheard music
Hidden in the sky (hidden in the sky)
It's a symphony
Come
A symphony
It's a symphony, yeah
