Traduzione del testo della canzone It Meant Goodbye to Me When You Said Hello to Him - Merle Haggard

It Meant Goodbye to Me When You Said Hello to Him (originale)

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
I made a big mistake when
I introduced her to my friend
And gave him a chance to dance with her
As I watched them in the crowd
I could hear my heart beat loud
Because it meant goodbye to me
When she said hello to him
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
She just held on to his hand
When it was break time for the band
And it was plain to see that I’d lost out
So I slipped to wait and cry
Felt so low I could die
Because it meant goodbye to me
When she said hello to him
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Is there anywhere to go
Where a broken heart won’t show
Everyone must know what’s wrong with me
They can tell about my ways
I go around lost in the days
Because it meant goodbye to me
When she said hello to him
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

(traduzione)

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Ho fatto un grosso errore quando
L'ho presentata alla mia amica
E gli ha dato la possibilità di ballare con lei
Mentre li guardavo tra la folla
Potevo sentire il mio cuore battere forte
Perché significava addio a me
Quando lo ha salutato
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Si è semplicemente tenuta alla sua mano
Quando era l'ora della pausa per la band
Ed era chiaro che avevo perso
Così sono scivolato ad aspettare e piangere
Mi sentivo così in basso che potevo morire
Perché significava addio a me
Quando lo ha salutato
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
C'è un posto dove andare
Dove un cuore spezzato non si vedrà
Tutti devono sapere cosa c'è che non va in me
Possono raccontare i miei modi
Vado in giro perso nei giorni
Perché significava addio a me
Quando lo ha salutato
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
