| Una mattina presto, l'acqua stava entrando nella mia porta

| Early one morning, water was comin' in my door
| Una mattina presto, l'acqua stava entrando nella mia porta
|
| It was the old high (?) river, tellin' us to get ready and go
| Era il vecchio fiume alto (?), che ci diceva di prepararci e di partire
|
| It was dark and it was rainin', you could hear that howlin' wind
| Era buio e pioveva, si sentiva quel vento ululante
|
| It was dark and it was rainin', baby you could hear that howlin' wind
| Era buio e pioveva, piccola si sentiva quel vento ululante
|
| If I get away this time, I will never come here again
| Se questa volta vado via, non verrò mai più qui
|
| Hey my baby was cryin', I didn’t have a thing to eat
| Ehi, il mio bambino piangeva, non avevo niente da mangiare
|
| Hey hey hey, I didn’t have a thing to eat
| Ehi ehi ehi, non avevo niente da mangiare
|
| Hey the water had come in, wash everything I had down the street
| Ehi, l'acqua era entrata, lava tutto quello che avevo in fondo alla strada
|
| I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren’t no boats around
| Stavo chiedendo pietà e non c'erano barche in giro
|
| Hey I was hollerin' for mercy, and it weren’t no boats around
| Ehi, stavo chiedendo pietà e non c'erano barche in giro
|
| Hey that looks like people, I’ve gotta stay right here and drown
| Ehi, sembrano persone, devo stare qui e affogare
|
| Hey my house started shakin', started floatin' on down the stream
| Ehi, la mia casa ha iniziato a tremare, ha iniziato a fluttuare lungo il ruscello
|
| Hey my house started shakin', went on floatin' on down the stream
| Ehi, la mia casa ha iniziato a tremare, ha continuato a fluttuare lungo il ruscello
|
| It was dark as midnight, people began to holler and scream | Era buio come mezzanotte, la gente ha iniziato a urlare e urlare |
