El Vals Del Minuto

And now, if time and oxygen allow it
I would like to delight you once again
Interpreting for all of you
The Minute Waltz by Frederic Chopin
Before performing this piece, I have to thank my singing teacher
He's the one who taught me everything I know
And even how to sing the Minute Waltz by Frederic Chopin
And I swear it won't last long
Well, whenever you're ready, I'm prepared
Do you have everything?
So far, I haven't received any complaints
Then play it with both hands
So we finish faster

I have only a minute, just a minute, just a little minute
Nothing more than just a little minute
Sixty seconds is all the time I have
I haven't been given more, to sing this little waltz
I know it's difficult, but I'll try
I would like to leave, but first I'll take the minute
And I swear I'll fill it with the notes Chopin wrote
There's no other way, I'll have to do it
I would like to do it without making mistakes
But it's so hard not to make mistakes
Breathe on time, not miss a note
And continue, hee-hee-hee, smiling, so you are satisfied
And don't complain at the box office
Returning the tickets and saying this is rubbish

I know there are many singers
Who divide this little waltz into two or three parts
But I do it in one go
As the author dreamed it
And now I must concentrate
Breathe deeply
Open my mouth wide
I've passed it without difficulty
I've reached the middle

This part is calmer
Is it the bridge or is it the theme?
I wonder where I am
The truth is I have no idea

I have less than thirty seconds left
Less than thirty seconds, I have less left
I have less left, almost twenty-seven
To complete this little waltz
Each eighth note is torture
If I don't breathe, I'll be stiff on my lungs
As soon as I finish this nonsense
I'm out of here, I'm out of here, yes sirs
To eat a good plate of ravioli
And now slowly, there's little left
Just ten measures and an accelerando
Ah! If we hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it
I wonder: And Chopin, that consumptive
What was he thinking when he wrote it?
Oh! I can't believe it!
We've reached the end of this damn waltz
