Testi di Annie Mae - Natalie Cole

Annie Mae (originale)

Growing up wasn’t easy for Annie Mae
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
A little girl in a great big world
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
No one knew about her past
Some people swore she’d never last
She was (growing up much too fast)
Growing (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Just a little too fast (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Never had her a Mama, no, no
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Rarely heard a kind spoken word
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Looking at life through an empty shell
And all the time she’s catching hell
She was growing
(Growing up much too fast) up much too fast
Does anybody know where is Annie Mae today
Where oh where is Annie Mae
All you got to do is look into the faces of
All the young girls
On the avenue--(young girls!)
Oh, well, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ha
In the night hear her cry, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Hurt and pain keeps coming again
And again, and again, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind
Tryin' to decide if she’ll make it this time
She was (growing up) oh, yeah (much too fast)
She was (growing up much too fast)
Somebody got to stop her, oh Annie, Annie
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)
Annie, Annie
Somebody
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)
Got to stop her, oh, Annie, Annie
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)
Annie, Annie
She’s runnin', she’s runnin'
Growin' up too fast, oh, oh
(She's running') oh, oh
Growin' up too fast, oh, oh
(She's runnin') oh, oh
Growin' up too fast, oh, hey
(She's runnin') Annie, Annie Mae, yeah
(She's running) Where you goin' Annie
(She's runnin') Don’t you think somebody aught to stop you
(She's runnin') Somebody aught to stop you
(She's runnin') Don’t you think I’m gonna try to stop you

(traduzione)

Crescere non è stato facile per Annie Mae
(Uuuuuuuuuuuu)
Una bambina in un grande mondo
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Nessuno sapeva del suo passato
Alcune persone hanno giurato che non sarebbe mai durata
Stava (crescendo troppo in fretta)
Crescere (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Solo un po' troppo veloce (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Non l'ha mai avuta una mamma, no, no
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Raramente sentito una parola gentile
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Guardare la vita attraverso un guscio vuoto
E per tutto il tempo sta prendendo l'inferno
Stava crescendo
(Crescere troppo in fretta) crescere troppo in fretta
Qualcuno sa dov'è Annie Mae oggi
Dove oh dov'è Annie Mae
Tutto quello che devi fare è guardare in faccia
Tutte le ragazze
Sul viale--(ragazze!)
Oh, beh, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ah
Nella notte senti il ​​suo pianto, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Il dolore e il dolore continuano a venire di nuovo
E ancora, e ancora, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Inciampare e correre le fa impazzire
Sto cercando di decidere se ce la farà questa volta
Stava (crescendo) oh, sì (troppo in fretta)
Stava (crescendo troppo in fretta)
Qualcuno deve fermarla, oh Annie, Annie
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (dov'è Annie Mae)
Annie, Annie
Qualcuno
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (dov'è Annie Mae)
Devo fermarla, oh, Annie, Annie
(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (dov'è Annie Mae)
Annie, Annie
Sta correndo, sta correndo
Crescere troppo in fretta, oh, oh
(Sta correndo') oh, oh
Crescere troppo in fretta, oh, oh
(Sta correndo) oh, oh
Crescere troppo in fretta, oh, ehi
(Sta correndo) Annie, Annie Mae, sì
(Sta correndo) Dove stai andando Annie
(Sta correndo) Non pensi che qualcuno possa fermarti
(Sta correndo) Qualcuno ha qualcosa per fermarti
(Sta correndo) Non pensi che cercherò di fermarti
