Testi di Miss The Mississippi & You - Jimmie Rodgers

Miss The Mississippi & You (originale)

I’m growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on that old river shore
I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you, dear
Days are dark and dreary and everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven’s dome
Miss the Mississippi and you
Oh-del-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
Memories are bringing happy days of your
Miss the Mississippi and you
Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you
Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
Mississippi and you

(traduzione)

Mi sto stancando delle luci della grande città
Stanco del glamour e stanco dei panorami
In tutti i miei sogni sto vagando ancora una volta
Ritorno a casa mia su quella vecchia riva del fiume
Sono triste e stanco lontano da casa
Miss Mississippi e te, cara
I giorni sono bui e tetri e ovunque mi aggiro
Perdere il Mississippi e te
In roaming in tutto il mondo
Sempre solo e blu, così blu
Niente sembra rallegrarmi sotto la cupola del cielo
Perdere il Mississippi e te
Oh-del-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
I ricordi ti stanno portando giorni felici
Perdere il Mississippi e te
I topi cantano intorno alla porta della cabina
Perdere il Mississippi e te
In roaming in tutto il mondo
Sempre solo e blu, così blu
Desiderando la mia patria, l'acqua fangosa
Perdere il Mississippi e te
Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee
Mississippi e te
