Testi di Talkin' Blues - Bob Marley, The Wailers

Talkin' Blues (originale)

But-a I — I’m gonna stare in the sun,
Let the rays shine in my eyes.
I — I’m a gonna take a just-a one step more
'Cause I feel like bombin' a church —
Now — now that you know that the preacher is lyin'.
So who’s gonna stay at home
When — when the freedom fighters are fighting?
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, woe-oh-oh-oh!
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), keep on talkin' blues (talkin' blues);
They say — you hear what they say —
Didn’t you hear?
Cold ground was my bed (bed last night),
Rockstone — rockstone — rockstone was my pillow;
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night),
And rock was my pillow, too.
Sayin': (talkin' blues, talkin' blues):
I seem to wear a permanent screw — permanent screw.
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
Feet is just too big for your shoes.
(shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)

(traduzione)

Ma... io... guarderò il sole,
Lascia che i raggi brillino nei miei occhi.
Io... io farò solo un passo in più
Perché mi sembra di bombardare una chiesa —
Ora... ora che sai che il predicatore sta mentendo.
Allora chi starà a casa
Quando... quando i combattenti per la libertà stanno combattendo?
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
Dicono che i tuoi piedi siano semplicemente troppo grandi per le tue scarpe, guai-oh-oh-oh!
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), continua a parlare di blues (talkin' blues);
Dicono — senti quello che dicono —
Non hai sentito?
La terra fredda era il mio letto (letto la scorsa notte),
Rockstone — rockstone — rockstone era il mio cuscino;
La terra fredda era il mio letto la scorsa notte (letto la notte scorsa),
E anche il rock era il mio cuscino.
Sayin': (parlando blues, parlando blues):
Mi sembra di indossare una vite permanente, una vite permanente.
Talkin' blues (talkin' blues), talkin' blues (talkin' blues):
I piedi sono semplicemente troppo grandi per le tue scarpe.
(scarpa-oo-oo-oo-oo)
