The best version of this tune.
Uploaded by Billy Colonia.
Rubén Blades convirtió una versión del famoso Mack the Knife de La ópera de tres cuartos, pero sin seguir la música de Kart Weill sino la letra de Bertolt Brecht, según Cabrera Infante (1996). El mismo autor señala más adelante: "«Pedro Navaja» es de veras un logro considerable. No es una parodia de Brecht ni una copia servil de La opera de tres cuartos. Es un verdadero homenaje al poeta alemán que prefería que su música fuera popular y su poesía subversiva".
Sin embargo, paradójicamente, al productor salsero Jerry Massucci, no le gustaba para nada la canción porque, según él, era una falta de respeto al público, que tenía como razón para comprar discos, el evadirse de la realidad y no de evocarla. Además, "Pedro Navaja" era una canción demasiado larga (7:21 minutos), hasta el punto de ser colocada al final de la segunda cara del larga duración "Siembra". No obstante, rápidamente "Pedro Navaja" se convirtió en el mayor éxito de la historia de la salsa.
Frente a esto, Blades se desquita cuando canta con Seis del Solar en el Madison Square Garden, de New York, y rememora que en la compañía Fania, le vaticinaron que esa canción no tendría éxito, y jocosamente hace un parangón con El Quijote, de Cervantes, aclarando, guardadas las proporciones de los dos hechos, que "Si esas gentes hubiesen sido los editores de Don Quijote, hubiese salido un pasquín". Según Blades, le hubiesen quitado a Sancho Panza, por gordo, o lo habrían cambiado por un galán como Tony Curtis, solo habrían dejado la parte de Dulcinea, pero sobre todo, le habrían quitado buenas hojas porque la gente no iba a leer algo tan largo.
Aqui Ruben Blades inicia con "Mack the Knife"
Oh the shark bites with his teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

Description:
Rubén Blades is one of the most successful vocalists in the history of Panamanian music. A former member of bands led by Ray Baretto and Willie Colón, Blades has continued to influence salsa music with his highly literate, politically tinged lyrics and his modern-minded arrangements, which substitute the usual horn and Latin percussion sections with synthesizers and drum sets. Often referred to as "the Latin Bruce Springsteen," Blades provided a musical voice for the middle class of Central America. Raised in a middle-class neighborhood in Panama City, Blades inherited his musical talents from his parents. His mother, Anoland, who emigrated from Cuba, played piano and sang in Spanish. His father, Ruben Sr., a police detective, played bongos.
Since the early '80s, Blades has balanced his musical career with acting and writing songs for such films as The Last Fight, Crossover Dreams, Critical Condition, Fatal Beauty, The Milagro Beanfield War, Dead Man Out, Disorganized Crime, The Lemon Sisters, The Two Jakes, Predator 2, One Man's War, The Josephine Baker Story, Crazy From the Heart, Color of Night, A Million to Juan, Scorpion Spring, and The Devil's Own. Blades shared the title role, with Marc Anthony, in Paul Simon's Broadway musical The Capeman.
Blades, who lives in California with his actress wife Lisa Lebenzon, has remained active with politics. The founder of a new political party in Panama, he ran for president of Panama in 1994, coming in second in the election. While much of Blades' repertoire is in the Spanish language, he recorded an English-language album, Nothing but the Truth, featuring songs by Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, and Sting, in 1988.
