Traduzione del testo della canzone He Was a Friend of Mine - Nanci Griffith

He Was a Friend of Mine (originale)

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Never had no money
To pay for his fine
He was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
Thousand miles from home
He never hurt no one
He was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
Never had no money for to pay for sufficient clothes
(He was a friend)
He was a friend of mine
(I stole)
I stole away and cried
(I stole)
Never had no money and I can’t be satisfied
He was a friend of mine
(He was) he was a friend of mine
(He was) he was a friend of mine
When I hear his name you know
I just can’t keep from cryin' (and)
(He was) he was a friend of mine
(He was)

(traduzione)

Era un mio amico
Era un mio amico
Non ho mai avuto soldi
Per pagare la sua multa
Era un mio amico
Non ha mai fatto niente di male
Non ha mai fatto niente di male
Mille miglia da casa
Non ha mai fatto del male a nessuno
Era un mio amico
È morto per strada
È morto per strada
Non ho mai avuto soldi per pagare vestiti sufficienti
(Era un amico)
Era un mio amico
(Ho rubato)
Ho rubato e ho pianto
(Ho rubato)
Non ho mai avuto soldi e non posso essere soddisfatto
Era un mio amico
(Era) era un mio amico
(Era) era un mio amico
Quando sento il suo nome lo sai
Non riesco a trattenermi dal piangere (e)
(Era) era un mio amico
(È stato)
