One Night In Bangkok
Tim Rice, Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern K. Ulvaeus
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or
Or this place!
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank God I'm only watching the game controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlours
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Bangkok, Oriental setting
Bangkok, cadre oriental
And the city don't know that the city is getting
Et la ville ne sait pas que la ville s'agrandit

La crème de la crème du monde des échecs
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Dans un spectacle avec tout sauf Yul Brynner
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Le temps passe, ça ne semble pas une minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
Depuis que le spa tyrolien avait les garçons d'échecs dedans

Une nuit à Bangkok et le monde est votre huître

I can feel an angel sliding up to me
Je peux sentir un ange glisser vers moi
One town's very like another
Une ville ressemble beaucoup à une autre
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
Quand votre tête est baissée sur vos pièces, frère
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
C'est un calvaire, c'est un ennui, c'est vraiment dommage

De regarder le plateau, de ne pas regarder la ville

Je prends mon pied au-dessus de la taille, soleil
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Une nuit à Bangkok rend un homme dur humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Pas grand-chose entre le désespoir et l'extase
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company
Il faut être prudent avec sa compagnie
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Je peux sentir le diable marcher à côté de moi

The kind of mate I'm contemplating
Le genre de partenaire que je contemple
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
Je vous laisserais regarder, je vous inviterais
