Letra
Are you blind when you’re born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
Can you say of your bite that it’s worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the walk when you’re walking alone?
Because jellicles are and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles would
Jellicles would and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
Are you tense when you sense there’s a storm in the air?
Can you find your way blind when you’re lost in the street?
Do you know how to go to the heaviside layer?
Because jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell?
Were you Whittington’s friend? The Pied Piper’s assistant?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?
Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?
Are you keen to be seen when you’re smelling a rat?
Were you there when the pharaoh commissioned the Sphinx?
If you were, and you are, you’re a jellicle cat
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze
We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire
We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire
Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Can you sing at the same time in more than one key?
Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss?
And can you (as cats do) begin with a 'C'?
That always triumphantly brings down the house?
Jellicle cats are queen of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights
Handling pieces from the 'Messiah'
Hallelujah, angelical Choir
The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat'
Life to the everlasting cat!
Feline, fearless, faithful and true
To others who do-what
Jellicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicle cats sing jellicle chants
Jellicles old and jellicles new
Jellicle song and jellicle dance
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Practical cats, dramatical cats
Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats
Oratorical cats, Delphicoracle cats
Skeptical cats, Dispeptical cats
Romantical cats, Pedantical cats
Critical cats, parasitical cats
Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats
Statistical cats and mystical cats
Political cats, hypocritical cats
Clerical cats, hysterical cats
Cynical cats, rabbinical cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for jellicle cats
But the cats are not alone. Humans (the audience) are present
in the cats’private world. The cats are at first reluctant and
suspicious to include others in their domain.
There’s a man over there with a look of surprise
As much as to say well now how about that?
Do I actually see with my own very eyes
A man who’s not heard of a jellicle cat?
MAN:
What’s a jellicle cat?
ALL (Echoing):
What’s a jellicle cat?
Tradução da letra
És cego quando nasces? Consegues ver no escuro?
Atreves-te a olhar para um rei? Quer sentar-se no trono dele?
Podes dizer da tua mordidela que é pior do que o teu latido?
És o caralho do passeio quando estás a andar sozinho?
Porque os jellicles são e os jellicles do Jellicles fazem e os jellicles fazem
Jellicles would and jellicles can
As gellicles podem e as gellicles fazem quando caímos sobre a cabeça, aterramos de pé?
Estás tenso quando sentes que há uma tempestade no ar?
Consegues encontrar o caminho às cegas quando estás perdido na rua?
Você sabe como ir para a camada heaviside?
Porque os jellicles podem e os jellicles do Jellicles do e os jellicles podem
Gellicles can and jellicles do Jellicles do e jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiarizado com vela, livro e sino?
Era amigo do Whittington? A assistente do flautista de Hamelin?
Já foste aluno do céu e do inferno?
És má como uma sedutora? Estás magra como um lince?
Queres ser visto quando estás a cheirar um rato?
Estava lá quando o Faraó encomendou a Esfinge?
Se fosses, e és, és um gato jellicle.

Podemos mergulhar pelo ar como um trapézio voador
Podemos dar voltas duplas, saltar sobre um pneu
Podemos subir uma parede, podemos balançar através das árvores
Podemos equilibrar-nos em barras, podemos andar num fio.

Pode cantar ao mesmo tempo em mais de uma chave?
Duetos de Rossini e valsas de Strauss?
E você pode (como os gatos fazem) começar com um 'C'?
Isso derruba sempre a casa de forma triunfante?
Jellicle cats are queen of the nights
Cantando em alturas astronómicas
Manipulação de peças do "Messias"
Aleluia, Coro angélico
A divindade mística da felicidade sem vergonha
À volta da Catedral soava "Vivat"
Vida para o gato eterno!
Felina, destemida, fiel e verdadeira
Aos outros que fazem-o quê
Jelicles do and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do Jellicle cats sing jellicle chants
Gelificos antigos e gelificos novos
Jellicle song and jellicle dance

Mas os gatos não estão sozinhos. Os humanos (o público) estão presentes
no mundo privado dos gatos. Os gatos são no início relutantes e
suspeito de incluir outros no seu domínio.
Está ali um homem com um olhar de surpresa.
Quanto a dizer Bem, Que tal?
Se realmente vejo com os meus próprios olhos
Um homem que não ouviu falar de um gato jellicle?
HOMEM:
O que é um gato jellicle?
Tudo (ecoando):
O que é um gato jellicle?
