Testi di Lucky Man - Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Steven Wilson

Lucky Man (originale)

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honour and his glory
The people would sing
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Oooh, what a lucky man he was
Oooh, what a lucky man he was

(traduzione)

Aveva cavalli bianchi
E le donne a punteggio
Tutti vestiti di raso
E aspettando vicino alla porta
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Pizzo bianco e piume
Hanno fatto il suo letto
Un materasso ricoperto d'oro
Su cui è stato adagiato
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Andò a combattere guerre
Per il suo paese e il suo re
Del suo onore e della sua gloria
La gente canterebbe
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Un proiettile lo aveva trovato
Il suo sangue scorreva mentre piangeva
Nessun denaro potrebbe salvarlo
Quindi si sdraiò e morì
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
Oooh, che uomo fortunato era
