nat king cole
siempre que te pregunto
que cuando, como y donde
tu siempre me respondes
quizas, quizas, quizas.
y asi pasan los dias
y yo voy desesperando
y tu, tu, tu, contestando
quizas, quizas, quizas.
estas perdiendo el tiempo
pensando, pensando
por lo que mas tu quieras
hasta cuando, hasta cuando...
ay, asi pasan los dias
y yo voy desesperando
y tu, tu, tu, contestando

哈哈~虽然不懂西班牙语，但是靠法语竟然也看懂了一点歌词。。。

tu siempre me respondes
quizas, quizas, quizas.

你只是简单地回答我
可能，可能，可能

y yo voy desesperando

我猜这句话可能是：我只在里面看到了绝望


其他的不会拉

Nat King Cole was a black man, who became a very famous jazz pianist and singer. His music is still enjoyed today especially because his daughter Natalie has re-released his wonderful music.



His Childhood
Nat learned to play the piano when he was very young. It may be hard to believe but his mother was the only piano teacher that he ever had.

His first public performance was at the age of four and when he was in Kindergarten he played for the other children.

Nat regularly played in his father's church from the age of 11 and was an accomplished pianist by the age of 12. He formed his first jazz band when he was in high school .

One day Nat asked if their family was poor. His mother answered "Yes". Then he asked "Are we poor, poor, poor". This time she answered "Yes we are". Then Nat said a very strange thing - "One day my name will be up in lights and we wont be poor any more". It's surprising but what Nat said came true.


His Early Career
Nat's early career was mainly piano playing. Nat played a lot in a trio with one of his brothers. The trio did not have a drummer because Nat's piano playing kept rhythm so well. By the time Nat was 20 his music was known in every beer joint in L.A.
One night Nat was playing in a pub and one of his listeners asked him to sing. Nat didn't want to until his boss said he'd better, so he did.



Later Career
Nat then became a well known singer. Nat sold over 50 million records and believe me that's a lot! He was one of the first people to make records with the company called "Capitol Records". He sold so many records, that the company headquarters was often referred to as "The House that Nat Built"

He did a lot of work to make things better for black people by refusing to play at places that wouldn't let black people in, or making them change their rules before he would play there. In his early days of touring Nat and his band were often not allowed to stay at the places they played at.

When he started to earn more money, he bought a house in a very expensive area of Los Angeles. Some of the people who already lived there protested and said they didn't want any undesirables moving in. Nat said that he didn't either and would be the first to complain if any did move in.

One time when he was playing at a concert in his home state of Alabama, some men tried to kidnap him from off the stage because they were so angry about a black man being allowed to put on a concert.

He became so famous however that he was invited to places by President Kennedy. In fact President Kennedy even went to Natalie Cole's debutante ball!

Movies and TV
Nat was the first black man to have his own radio show and later his own T.V show.

In 1946, Nat started doing a radio show every week. He would play for half an hour on Saturday afternoon, from whatever town he was doing concerts in. The radio show lasted for 4 years.

In October 1956, Nat started his own TV show. It was probably the first serious attempt by a TV station to have a Negro as a show's host. It was very popular but businesses were afraid that white southern audiences would stop buying their products if they advertised during the show.

Nat also appeared in quite a few movies. The best known of these is St Louis Blues in which he played the role of the jazz composer W.C. Handy. He also appeared in a film about himself called The Nat King Cole Story.

He appeared in lots of other movies just to sing a song.



Children
Nat only had children in his second marriage with Maria. Their first child was Natalie Maria, who was born on the 6/2/1950. She was born a few months before the record of "Mona Lisa" was released. She was more often known in the family by her nickname "Sweetie".

A few years later they adopted Carol, who was born on the 17/10/1944. She was Maria's sister's daughter. She was adopted by Nat and Maria after both of Carol's parents had died.

In 1959 Nat and Maria adopted a son who they called Nat Kelly Cole. They thought that they would never have any more children of their own.

However on the 26/9/61 Maria gave birth to twin girls. Their names were Timolin and Casey. Casey was named after baseball celebrity Casey Stengel (Nat was a mad sports fan!) and the other name was suggested by a good songwriter friend.

Career Cut Short
Nat died in 1965. He died of lung cancer because he used three packets of cigarettes every day for many years.

After that his music still was very popular and lots more records were sold.

Recently, his daughter Natalie started singing his music again and it became even more popular.

Unforgettable
Nat's daughter Natalie liked singing also and started singing in front of little groups, then probably little towns and now she is well known in most town's. Natalie won a Grammy award for the recording of her and Nat singing a duet of the song Unforgettable.
