Testi di As Tears Go By - Esther Phillips

As Tears Go By (originale)

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
My riches can’t buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm …

(traduzione)

È la sera del giorno,
Mi siedo e guardo i bambini giocare.
Riesco a vedere facce sorridenti
Ma non per me,
Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.
Le mie ricchezze non possono comprare tutto,
Voglio sentire i bambini cantare.
Tutto quello che sento è il suono
Di pioggia che cade a terra,
Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.
È la sera del giorno,
Mi siedo e guardo i bambini giocare.
Fare cose che facevo Pensano siano nuove,
Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm …
