Testi di Why I Don't Know - Lyle Lovett

Why I Don't Know (originale)

Was it the champagne
Was it the caviar
Was it her airplane
Was it her daddy’s car
Was it the new thing
With all the dough
Why i don’t know
I just had to go Was that the yacht club
Or just a fishing boat
Was that the leg of lamb
Or was it a billy goat
Was that a snail baby
Or escargot
Why i don’t know
I just had to go
I’m just a poor boy
I like to have fun
I know a pretty girl when i see one
I’ve seen the real thing
The imitation too
So don’t go telling me what to do Was that a beer joint
Or was that the country club
Were we fooling around
Or was it truly love
Was that a foreign film
Or just a show
Why i don’t know
I just had to go
I’m just a poor boy
I like to have fun
I know a pretty girl when i seen one
I’ve seen the real thing
The imitation too
So don’t go telling me what to do So keep your champagne
And keep your caviar
And fly your airplane
Into your daddy’s car
And so you’ll understand
I’ll tell you slow
Why i don’t know
I just had to… go

(traduzione)

Era lo champagne
Era il caviale
Era il suo aereo
Era la macchina di suo padre
Era la novità
Con tutto l'impasto
Perché non lo so
Dovevo solo andare, quello era lo yacht club
O solo un peschereccio
Era quello il cosciotto d'agnello
O era un caprone
Era una piccola lumaca
O escargot
Perché non lo so
Dovevo solo andare
Sono solo un povero ragazzo
Mi piace divertirmi
Conosco una bella ragazza quando ne vedo una
Ho visto la cosa reale
Anche l'imitazione
Quindi non dirmi cosa fare era una birra comune
O era quello il country club
Stavamo scherzando
O era veramente amore
Era un film straniero?
O solo uno spettacolo
Perché non lo so
Dovevo solo andare
Sono solo un povero ragazzo
Mi piace divertirmi
Conosco una ragazza carina quando ne ho vista una
Ho visto la cosa reale
Anche l'imitazione
Quindi non dirmi cosa fare Quindi tieni lo champagne
E tieni il caviale
E fai volare il tuo aereo
Nella macchina di tuo padre
E così capirai
te lo dico piano
Perché non lo so
Dovevo solo... andare
