| I’m growing tired of the big city lights
| Mi sto stancando delle luci della grande città
|
| Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
| Stanco del glamour e stanco dei panorami
|
| In all my dreams I am roaming once more
| In tutti i miei sogni sto vagando ancora una volta
|
| Back to my home on that old river shore
| Ritorno a casa mia su quella vecchia riva del fiume
|
| I am sad and weary far away from home
| Sono triste e stanco lontano da casa
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you, dear
| Miss Mississippi e te, cara
|
| Days are dark and dreary and everywhere I roam
| I giorni sono bui e tetri e ovunque mi aggiro
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you
| Perdere il Mississippi e te
|
| Roaming the wide world over
| In roaming in tutto il mondo
|
| Always alone and blue, so blue
| Sempre solo e blu, così blu
|
| Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven’s dome
| Niente sembra rallegrarmi sotto la cupola del cielo
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you
| Perdere il Mississippi e te
|
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
|
| Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
| Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
|
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-ee-del-lay-ee
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-ee-del-lay-ee
|
| Memories are bringing happy days of your
| I ricordi ti stanno portando giorni felici
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you
| Perdere il Mississippi e te
|
| Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door
| I topi cantano intorno alla porta della cabina
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you
| Perdere il Mississippi e te
|
| Roaming the wide world over
| In roaming in tutto il mondo
|
| Always alone and blue, so blue
| Sempre solo e blu, così blu
|
| Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore
| Desiderando la mia patria, l'acqua fangosa
|
| Miss the Mississippi and you
| Perdere il Mississippi e te
|
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
| Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
|
| Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
| Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
|
| Mississippi and you | Mississippi e te |
