Who Did They Think He Was? (originale)

A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I’m grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.
Oh, I loved, «Love Me Tender»
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
--- Instrumental ---
He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.
He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.
Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
--- Instrumental ---
There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethelem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.
Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.
Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was…

(traduzione)

Un bambino è nato a Tupelo
Nel 1935
Sono grato per la sua musica
Ha cambiato per sempre la mia vita.
Oh, ho amato, «Love Me Tender»
E come quel ragazzo sapeva cantare
Ma quando è morto mi sono chiesto perché
Milioni di persone lo chiamavano re.
Dimmi, chi hanno pensato
Chi pensavano che fosse?
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse?
Il mondo intero si inchinò e pregò
Ma mi ha fatto solo dire
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse?
--- Strumentale ---
È nato a Massachussetts
Nel 1917
Il secondo figlio di un irlandese
Oh, amavamo tutti Kennedy.
Era coraggioso, forte e bello
Un helluva un presidente
Ma quando è morto
Milioni di persone hanno pianto come se fosse stato mandato dal cielo.
Dimmi chi hanno pensato
Chi pensavano che fosse?
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse?
Il mondo intero si inchinò e pregò
Ma mi ha fatto solo dire
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse?
--- Strumentale ---
C'era un figlio del cielo
Nato a Betelem
Solo un semplice falegname
Con mani consumate e callose.
Oh, ha guarito il cuore di molti
Così lo hanno inchiodato a un albero
Senza più nessuno a piangere la sua morte
Ma le donne ai suoi piedi.
Piangendo, chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse?
Chi pensavano
Chi pensavano che fosse...
