Traduzione del testo della canzone Names - Cat Power

Names (originale)

His name was Perry
He had a learning difficulty
His father was a very mean man
His father burned his skin
His father sent him to his death
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
He was ten years old
Her name was Naomi
Beautiful round face, so ashamed
Told me how to please a man
After school in the back of a bus
She was doin' it every day
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
She was eleven years old
Her name was Sheryl
Black hair, like an electric space
She would pretty paint my face
She was very good friend
Her father would come to her in the night
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
She was twelve years old
His name was Donovan
He was a very good friend
The cards were stacked against him
He was selling cocaine
The last time I saw him
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
He was thirteen years old
His name was Charles
He said he was in love with me
We were both fourteen
Then I had to move away
Then he began to smoke crack
Then he had to sell ass
I don’t know where he is
I don’t know where they are

Suo padre era un uomo molto cattivo
Suo padre gli ha bruciato la pelle
Suo padre lo mandò alla morte
Aveva dieci anni
Aveva dieci anni

Bel viso tondo, tanto vergogna
Mi ha detto come soddisfare un uomo
Dopo la scuola sul retro di un autobus
Lo faceva ogni giorno
Aveva undici anni
Aveva undici anni
Aveva undici anni

Capelli neri, come uno spazio elettrico
Mi dipingerebbe molto la faccia

Era un ottimo amico
Le carte erano impilate contro di lui
Stava vendendo cocaina
L'ultima volta che l'ho visto
Aveva tredici anni
Aveva tredici anni
Aveva tredici anni
Il suo nome era Carlo
Ha detto che era innamorato di me
Avevamo entrambi quattordici anni
Poi ho dovuto trasferirmi
Poi cominciò a fumare crack
Poi ha dovuto vendere il culo
Non so dove sia
Non so dove siano
