Carl Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 We got this note, and now I'm curious. Any ideas of what "Dixie double four time" means in any language? Hello, by chance do you know what does "dixie double four time" means in Dire Strait's Sultans of Swing. I'm translating the lyrics into Spanish.

miamisammy29 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 The band was blowing 'Dixie' at twice the normal 4/4 time....very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think it's just slang for 4/4 time - double four time as in 4 twice. Does that make sense to anyone but me? Don't know if this helps, but I found it already translated - they left that whole phrase in English. Hai un brivido nel buio Sta piovendo nel parco ma nel frattempo A sud del fiume ti fermi e ti aggrappi a qualsiasi cosa Un gruppo sta suonando “Dixie double four time†Ti senti bene quando senti suonare quella musica Entri dentro ma non vedi troppe facce Venire dentro dalla pioggia per sentire il jazz suonare Troppa concorrenza, troppi altri posti Ma non così tanti corni posso ricreare quel suono Verso il basso sud, verso il basso sud della città di Londra Senti Guitar Gorge, lui conosce tutti gli accordi Però lui fa solo il ritmo, lui non vuole farla (la chitarra) piangere o cantare E una vecchia chitarra è tutto ciò che si può permettere Quando sta sotto le luci per suonare il suo pezzo E ad Harry non importa se ha successo Ha un lavoro diurno, se la cava Può suonare honky tonk come fosse nulla Riservandola per venerdì sera Con i Sultani, con i Sultani dello swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) I´m being told Dixie double is the style which used to play Django Reinhradt (or Les Paul in his beginnings). According to my nephew (he´s a musician), it´s a style where the guitar goes quite fast and plays bass as well, all together. Hope it helps... Sems there is also a poker hand called Dixie...

edna Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just re-read Elvy´s post and I´m singing "Sultans" in Italian... ma che bella lingua!! I believe Bazooka or BluesBoy should know about this... I mean, Dixie Double 4 times, not Italian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
