Traduzione del testo della canzone Maybe It Was Memphis - American Aquarium

Maybe It Was Memphis (originale)

Lookin’at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin’like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree
What was I supposed to do Standin’there lookin’at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer nights beauty took my breath away
What was I supposed to do Standin’there lookin’at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Every night now once I’ve been back home
I lie awake at night drifting in my memory
I think about you on your momma’s front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me What was I supposed to do Standin’there lookin’at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right
You know it sure felt right…

Maybe It Was Memphis (traduzione)

Ti guardo attraverso un nebbioso chiaro di luna
Katydid canta come una sinfonia
L'altalena del portico ondeggia come una ninna nanna del Tennessee
Melodia che soffia attraverso il salice
Cosa avrei dovuto fare in piedi lì a guardarti
Un ragazzo solitario lontano da casa
Forse era Memphis
Forse erano notti estive del sud
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Leggi di te in un romanzo di Faulkner
Ti ho incontrato una volta in un'opera teatrale di Williams
Ho sentito parlare di te in una canzone d'amore country
La bellezza delle notti d'estate mi ha tolto il respiro
Cosa avrei dovuto fare in piedi lì a guardarti
Un ragazzo solitario lontano da casa
Forse era Memphis
Forse erano notti estive del sud
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Forse era Memphis
Forse erano notti estive del sud
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Ogni notte ora una volta che sono tornato a casa
Rimango sveglio di notte alla deriva nella mia memoria
Penso a te sull'altalena del portico di tua madre
Parlando in quel modo così dolce con me cosa avrei dovuto fare in piedi lì a guardarti
Un ragazzo solitario lontano da casa
Forse era Memphis
Forse erano notti estive del sud
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Forse era Memphis
Forse erano notti estive del sud
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Forse sei stato tu forse sono stato io, ma sicuramente sembrava giusto
Sai che sembrava sicuramente giusto...
