Of course man. This song comes from the famous musical “Fiddler on the Roof”. I understand your figurative transcription because im also spanish and it really sounds as you wrote it. Actually the lyric says “”If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I’d biddy biddy bum.!”

Regardning the Nat King Cole sonds, I remember “Muñequita Linda, de cabellos de oro…” with his strong English accent. Unforgettable

Sal U2 (I bet you emiliano will understand this greeting).

Listen to Nat King Cole is a pleasure for everybody. It has one of the most beautifull voice that I can remeber also you may understand him so well that sometimes it looks as if you know english already.
He was a great piano player but with so good voice and better english accent he has to sing instead of playing that instrument. Here in Spain all his spanish songs were hits, and many times I dance with “ansiedad” “mona lisa” el choclo” “noche de ronda” and many other of his songs. But at that time I did not understand any english word and couldn’t appreciate him as a perfect singer in his own language. His voice is like velvet, touch you softly as you dance.

It should be so good to take that Route 66 and visiting all the citys and little towns mencioned in the song but we should need lots of money
……..Now I sing “If I were a rich man, doby doby doby dooo…………. If I were a welthy man”
I bet every one to tell me where and who sings that song.
Regards.
