Jose Feliciano does a great version of Gus Cannon's "Walk Right In"
(made famous, I believe, by the Rooftop Singers). He sings verses in Spanish and German, and I can't make out what words he is saying :(
Would especially like to know what he is saying in Spanish. Can anyone help? Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JBVbeFnkg

My Spanish is pretty rusty, so apologies beforehand for any misdirection, but this is what it sounds like to me:

Anda, vien, entra por aqui, mira pontir a descansar
Anda, vien, entra por aqui, mira pontir a descansar
Todo el mundo habla de una manera nueva
Una manera aparentar
Anda, vien, entra por a ti, mira pontir a descansar

which translates more directly to:

Come on, come, come in here, let's put you to rest
Come on, come, come in here, let's put you to rest
All the world is talking of a new manner
A new way of pretend
Come on, come, come in here, let's put you to rest

No help here with the German section, sorry

I hear
Anda, ven, entra por aquí, mira, ponte a descansar (x2)
Todo el mundo habla de una manera nueva
Una manera para andar.

Monique, you're probably right. I debated "para andar" in the chorus, but I didn't think it fit with the original intent of the song as well.

I asked my niece who lives in Spain and lived for 6 months in Mexico, she hears the same as me. "Todo el mundo habla de una manera nueva para andar" ~= "Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking" and "una manera + a verb in the infinitive without a preposition" doesn't work.
