SKU: A0.578419
Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk. 9 pages. David Warin Solomons #4777653. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.578419).Instrumental arrangement of my song from 1976 to my cat Tiger, with a few curious chord changes and some cat-like glissandi.
The sound sample is partly electronic preview and partly (for the guitar glissandi) my own performance
Â
The pdf file contains score and parts.
I have also included chord names in case the guitarist wants to improvise another interpretation of the harmonies.
Â
The lyrics of the original song (with my English paraphrase) were as follows
Â
Schön getigerte Katze mein
Liebst es auf der Matratz' zu sein
Â
Beautifully striped pussy cat
you love to lie on the mattress
Â
und schnurrst im Schlafen,
nimmst des Grafen
oder des Fürsten Luxus ein
Â
You purr as you sleep
and take up the life of
a count or a prince
Â
Â
Dein Leben ist gar nicht
hundsgemein
Â
Yours is no dog's life
Â
weil du gut weisst
des Menschen Geist
einzunehmen und nimmst ihn ein.
Â
Beacuse you know how to win
humans over, and you do.
Â
Darum ist dir das Leben fein
Â
That's why your life is fine
Â
Willst du des Finken Blut
nur trinken
Â
If you just want to drink
a finch's blood
Â
so wachst du aus dem Schlafen auf
siehst du ihn und springst darauf
Â
you awake from your sleep
and pounce on him
Â
Â
Â
Frisst und jetzt satt
hast keine Beschwerden
Â
You eat and you are full
no complaints to make
Â
Ja die Sache ging,
meinst du, ganz glatt.
Â
Yes, that went very well
you think to yourself
Â
Jetzt willst du von
uns gefüttert werden!
Â
Now you want us to feed you!
Â
