Mack the Knife
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it … ah … out of sight.
Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s nevah, nevah a trace of red.
Now on the sidewalk … uuh, huh … whoo … sunny mornin’ … uuh, huh
Lies a body just oozin’ life … eeek!
And someone’s sneakin’ ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
A-there’s a tugboat … huh, huh, huh … down by the river don’tcha know
Where a cement bag’s just a’droopin’ on down
Oh, that cement is just, it’s there for the weight, dear
Five’ll get ya ten old Macky’s back in town.
Now, d’ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin’ out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy’s done somethin’ rash?
Now … Jenny Diver … ho, ho … yeah … Sukey Tawdry
Ooh … Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town.
Aah … I said Jenny Diver … whoa … Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town …
Look out … old Macky is back!

A mi me parece que no hay que cambiar nada. Esta versión en inglés, a mi parecer es sólo una curiosidad y más que nada para amenizar el cuento.
Notar que el ritmo es más rápido, pero la melodía es prácticamente la misma. A mi por lo menos me ha ayudado a memorizar la letra en castellano.
tal como dijo este Ismael, no se trata de una nueva propuesta de la canción ni mucho menos, es tan solo una pequeña guia para acordarse de la melodía. Recuerden que hay que tenerla memorizada.
Me grabé cantando, para memorizar la canción y pu...cha que canto mal ... gran trabajo tendrá la profe de canto ... ah!, vamos a tener que darle un armonil a la Angela pa' que nos soporte, ya que pasamos de 2 páginas de actuación a más de 10 ...
Saludos, Jaime.
Preferiría no escucharte cantar Jaime, aarggggg.....
jajajajajaja.
Saludos.
