Traduzione del testo della canzone "He Was Tall" - Laura Osnes

"He Was Tall" (originale)

ELLA
He was tall, very tall
And his eyes were clear and blue
He was slim, very slim
In his coat of snowy hue
When he walked across the ballroom floor
He was like a thing divine
And all the ladies turned their heads
And naturally I turned mine
The chandeliers were shooting stars;
The drums and horns and soft guitars
Were sounding more like nightingales;
The window curtains blew like sails;
And I was floating just above the floor
Feeling slightly taller than before
He was tall, very tall
And his eyes were clear and blue…

(traduzione)

ELLA
Era alto, molto alto
E i suoi occhi erano limpidi e azzurri
Era magro, molto magro
Nel suo cappotto di colore della neve
Quando ha attraversato il pavimento della sala da ballo
Era come una cosa divina
E tutte le donne hanno voltato la testa
E naturalmente ho trasformato il mio
I lampadari erano stelle cadenti;
I tamburi, i fiati e le chitarre morbide
Suonavano più come usignoli;
Le tende delle finestre sventolavano come vele;
E io stavo fluttuando appena sopra il pavimento
Mi sento leggermente più alto di prima
Era alto, molto alto
E i suoi occhi erano limpidi e azzurri...
