Esther Williams - Baby, It's Cold Outside [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[A duet. Eve (E) and José (J)]

E - I really can't stay
J - Baby, it's cold outside
E - I've got to go away
J - But Baby, it's cold outside
E - This evening has been
J - Been hoping that you'd drop in
E - So very nice
J - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

E - My mother will start to worry
J - Beautiful, what's your hurry
E - My father will be pacing the floor
J - Listen to the fireplace roar
E - So really I'd better scurry
J - Beautiful, please don't hurry
E - Well maybe just a half a drink more
J - Put some records on while I pour

E - The neighbours might think
J - But Baby, it's bad out there
E - Say, what's in this drink?
J - No cabs to be had out there
E - I wish I knew how
J - Your eyes are like stars right now
E - To break this spell
J - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

E - I ought to say no, no, no Sir
J - Mind if I move in closer?
E - At least I'm going to say that I tried
J - What's the sense of hurting my pride
E - I really can't stay
J - Baby don't hold out
J&E - Baby it's cold outside

E - I simply must go
J - Baby, it's cold outside
E - The answer is No
J - But Baby,it's cold outside
E - This welcome has been
J - How lucky that you dropped in
E - So nice and warm
J - Look out the window at that storm

E - My sister will be suspicious
J - Your lips look delicious
E - My brother will be there at the door
J - Waves upon a tropical shore
E - My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
J - Gosh, your lips are delicious
E - Well maybe just a cigarette more
J - Never such a blizzard before

E - I've got to get home
J - But Baby, you'd freeze out there
E - Say, lend me a comb
J - It's up to your knees out there
E - You've really been grand
J - I thrill when you touch my hand
E - But don't you see
J - How can you do this thing to me?

E - There's bound to be talk tomorrow
J - Think of my life long sorrow
E - At least there will plenty implied
J - If you caught pneumonia and died
E - I really can't stay
J - Get over that old doubt
J&E - Baby, it's cold outside
