Testi di Cruel - Dropkick Murphys

Cruel (originale)

We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak
But love and affection this family afforded me Worries came early and often it seemed
Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed
Then compassion soon faded to chaos
As they did their best all the while
When circumstance outweighs intention
Sometimes the mountain’s just too hard to climb
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
I was young and I thought I knew everything
It’s so hard to change a fool’s mind
When you’re stubborn by nature and quick to the draw
And you’re full of inherited pride
But some lessons come harder than others
And some senses are harder to find
Your troubles won’t end when you’re saved by the bell
You’ll still answer to those you defied
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won’t pay for your lies
The sinners might pray for your problems
But the sinners won’t look in your eye
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won’t pray for your lies
The sinners might pay for your problems
But the sinner won’t look in your eye

(traduzione)

Siamo nati nel nulla, duramente per così dire
Ma l'amore e l'affetto che questa famiglia mi ha offerto Le preoccupazioni sono arrivate presto e spesso sembravano
Il destino non è stato piacevole, tuttavia sono stato redento
Poi la compassione svanì presto nel caos
Poiché hanno fatto del loro meglio per tutto il tempo
Quando le circostanze prevalgono sull'intenzione
A volte la montagna è semplicemente troppo difficile da scalare
Erano crudeli, erano ignoranti
Erano belle, erano gentili
Erano pazienza, erano virtù
Erano pazzi, erano miei
Ero giovane e pensavo di sapere tutto
È così difficile cambiare idea a uno stupido
Quando sei testardo per natura e veloce al sorteggio
E sei pieno di orgoglio ereditato
Ma alcune lezioni vengono più difficili di altre
E alcuni sensi sono più difficili da trovare
I tuoi problemi non finiranno quando sarai salvato dalla campana
Risponderai comunque a coloro che hai sfidato
Erano crudeli, erano ignoranti
Erano belle, erano gentili
Erano pazienza, erano virtù
Erano pazzi, erano miei
I cieli potrebbero cantare le tue lodi
Ma i cieli non pagheranno per le tue bugie
I peccatori potrebbero pregare per i tuoi problemi
Ma i peccatori non ti guarderanno negli occhi
Erano pazzi, erano miei
Erano crudeli, erano ignoranti
Erano belle, erano gentili
Erano pazienza, erano virtù
Erano pazzi, erano miei
Erano crudeli, erano ignoranti
Erano belle, erano gentili
Erano pazienza, erano virtù
Erano pazzi, erano miei
I cieli potrebbero cantare le tue lodi
Ma i cieli non pregheranno per le tue bugie
I peccatori potrebbero pagare per i tuoi problemi
Ma il peccatore non ti guarderà negli occhi
