Testi di He Was A Friend Of Mine - Dave Van Ronk

He Was A Friend Of Mine (originale)

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can’t keep from crying
Cause he was friend a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had no money
To pay his room or board
He was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Cause I never had too much money
And I can’t be satisfied
He was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
Long way from home
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
I just can’t keep from crying
Cause he was a friend of mine

(traduzione)

Era un mio amico
Era un mio amico
Ogni volta che penso a lui adesso
Signore, non riesco a trattenermi dal piangere
Perché era un mio amico
È morto per strada
È morto per strada
Non ha mai avuto soldi
Per pagare vitto o alloggio
Era un mio amico
Ho rubato e ho pianto
Ho rubato e ho pianto
Perché non ho mai avuto troppi soldi
E non posso essere soddisfatto
Era un mio amico
Non ha mai fatto niente di male
Non ha mai fatto niente di male
Era solo un povero ragazzo
Molto lontano da casa
Era un mio amico
Era un mio amico
Era un mio amico
Ogni volta che sento il suo nome
Non riesco a trattenermi dal piangere
Perché era un mio amico
