Testi di May - James Durbin

May (originale)

Now, May and I were two children just swimming in a pool
We’d ride on rockets, swing-sets and we tried to touch the moon
And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand
I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man
She was like the way she was
She was like the way she was
Now, we got older faster than we ever could have seen
Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
We bought our first house and had a baby on the way
But during birth, I got my daughter
Jesus took away my May
And I didn’t know how to say what I felt
No, I didn’t know how to say what it felt like
She was just like she was
When you looked into her eyes you’d come undone
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And didn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
Now, baby girls love daddy most
But they need a mother’s care
I tried my best to raise her right
I just couldn’t braid her hair
One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
But as I walked her down the aisle
All I could see was my May
And I didn’t know how to say what I felt
No, I didn’t know how to say what it felt like
She was just like she was
When you looked into her eyes you’d see the sun
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And didn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
But May, I hope you can see what I see
'Cause when they talk about our baby girl they think of you
And they say to me
She’s just like she was
When I looked into her eyes I’d see the sun
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And doesn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
She was just like she was
When I looked into her eyes I’d come undone
She was just like she was
And I cannot feel my heart beat
Without the thought of her inside me
She was like she was

(traduzione)

Ora, May e io eravamo due bambini che nuotavano in una piscina
Cavalcheremmo su razzi, altalene e cercavamo di toccare la luna
E non dimenticherò mai la prima volta che mi ha toccato la mano
Sapevo che questo poteva essere colui che mi avrebbe reso un uomo onesto
Era com'era
Era com'era
Ora siamo invecchiati più velocemente di quanto avremmo mai potuto vedere
Le luci si sono spente alla laurea e poi alla fede nuziale
Abbiamo acquistato la nostra prima casa e abbiamo avuto un bambino in arrivo
Ma durante la nascita, ho avuto mia figlia
Gesù ha portato via il mio maggio
E non sapevo come dire cosa provavo
No, non sapevo come dire come ci si sente
Era proprio com'era
Quando la guardavi negli occhi saresti disfatto
Era proprio com'era
Potrebbe amarti nel tuo giorno peggiore
E non mi importava degli errori
Era com'era
Ora, le bambine amano di più papà
Ma hanno bisogno delle cure di una madre
Ho fatto del mio meglio per allevarla bene
Non riuscivo a intrecciarle i capelli
Un giorno è diventata abbastanza grande per avere il giorno del suo matrimonio
Ma mentre la accompagnavo lungo il corridoio
Tutto quello che potevo vedere era il mio maggio
E non sapevo come dire cosa provavo
No, non sapevo come dire come ci si sente
Era proprio com'era
Quando la guardavi negli occhi vedevi il sole
Era proprio com'era
Potrebbe amarti nel tuo giorno peggiore
E non mi importava degli errori
Era com'era
Ma maggio, spero che tu possa vedere quello che vedo io
Perché quando parlano della nostra bambina pensano a te
E mi dicono
È proprio com'era
Quando la guardavo negli occhi vedevo il sole
Era proprio com'era
Potrebbe amarti nel tuo giorno peggiore
E non si preoccupa degli errori
Era com'era
Era proprio com'era
Quando l'ho guardata negli occhi mi sono disfatto
Era proprio com'era
E non riesco a sentire il battito del mio cuore
Senza il pensiero di lei dentro di me
Era com'era
