yep, that's basically it! here's a translation - its such a cute song!
Joe the taxi (cab driver)
He doesn't go everywhere
He doesn't work on soda
His yellow sax (saxophone is a metaphor for his yellow cab)
Knows all of the streets by heart
All of the little bars
All of the dark corners
And the Seine
And its bridges that shine
In his car
Joe's music
It's the "rumba"
From old "rock" to "mambo"
Joe the taxi
It's his life
The rum with "mambo"
Traffic jam
He's like that
Joe - Joe - Joe
In his car
Joe's music resonates
It's the "rumba"
From old "rock" to phony "mambo"
Go Joe
Go Joe
Speed along
In the night towards the Amazon
Joe the taxi
And Xavier Cugat (famous musician apparently?)
Joe the taxi
And Yma Sumac (musician again?)
Joe - Joe - Joe
Joe the taxi
It's his life
The rum with "mambo"
Traffic jam
Joe the taxi
And the Mariachis
Joe the Taxi
And the "cha-cha-chi"
Go Joe
Speed along
In the night towards the Amazon
