Testi di When I Was Young - Eric Burdon

When I Was Young (originale)

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young

(traduzione)

Le stanze erano molto più fredde allora
Mio padre era un soldato allora
E i tempi erano molto duri
Quando ero giovane
Ho fumato la mia prima sigaretta alle dieci
E per le ragazze, ho avuto un pessimo yen
E ho avuto una bella palla
Quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane, era più importante
Dolore più doloroso
Risate molto più forti
Sì, quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane
Ho incontrato il mio primo amore a tredici anni
Era marrone e io piuttosto verde
E ho imparato parecchio quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane, era più importante
Dolore più doloroso
Risate molto più forti
Sì, quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane
La mia fede era molto più forte allora
Credevo in un compagno
E allora ero molto più grande
Quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane
Quando ero giovane
