Testi di I Was A Boy Scout - Gerry Rafferty

I Was A Boy Scout (originale)

I was a boy scout in St. Mary’s troop
I had my own patrol
I had a necktie and a monkey suit
'Til I heard rock and roll
And I was going into something that was feelin' good
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man
I was around to see Columbus
I used to lie a lot
I had a Bible and a rosary
And one day I forgot
And I was going into something that was feelin' good
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man
I sold the shoes, I had a great career
Down at the Main Street store
'Til I decided I should disappear
'Til I walked out the door
And I was going into something that was feelin' good
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man, yeah
I was a boy scout in St. Mary’s troop
I had my own patrol
I had a necktie and a monkey suit
'Til I heard rock and roll
Now I was going into something that was feelin' good
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man
I was going into something that was feelin' good
It was something I could understand
I was going into something, it was feeling free
I was singing like a reborn man, yeah, hey, mmm, hey
I was a boy scout, mmm
I had my own patrol, yeah

(traduzione)

Ero un boy scout nella truppa di St. Mary
Avevo la mia pattuglia
Avevo una cravatta e un abito da scimmia
Finché non ho sentito il rock and roll
E stavo entrando in qualcosa che mi faceva sentire bene
Era qualcosa che potevo capire
Stavo entrando in qualcosa, mi sentivo libero
Stavo cantando come un uomo rinato
Ero in giro per vedere Columbus
Mentivo molto
Avevo una Bibbia e un rosario
E un giorno l'ho dimenticato
E stavo entrando in qualcosa che mi faceva sentire bene
Era qualcosa che potevo capire
Stavo entrando in qualcosa, mi sentivo libero
Stavo cantando come un uomo rinato
Ho venduto le scarpe, ho avuto una grande carriera
Giù al negozio di Main Street
Fino a quando non ho deciso che dovevo scomparire
Finché non sono uscito dalla porta
E stavo entrando in qualcosa che mi faceva sentire bene
Era qualcosa che potevo capire
Stavo entrando in qualcosa, mi sentivo libero
Stavo cantando come un uomo rinato, sì
Ero un boy scout nella truppa di St. Mary
Avevo la mia pattuglia
Avevo una cravatta e un abito da scimmia
Finché non ho sentito il rock and roll
Ora stavo entrando in qualcosa che mi faceva sentire bene
Era qualcosa che potevo capire
Stavo entrando in qualcosa, mi sentivo libero
Stavo cantando come un uomo rinato
Stavo entrando in qualcosa che mi faceva sentire bene
Era qualcosa che potevo capire
Stavo entrando in qualcosa, mi sentivo libero
Stavo cantando come un uomo rinato, sì, ehi, mmm, ehi
Ero un boy scout, mmm
Avevo la mia pattuglia, sì
