Testi di For Liquorice John - Procol Harum

For Liquorice John (originale)

He fell from grace and hit the ground
They tried in vain to bring him round
No one saw him make the fall
They couldn’t understand at all
His fall from grace was swift and straight
The doctors didn’t hesitate
What he had they were not sure
He didn’t have a temperature
His fall from grace was swift and sure
The doctors said they knew no cure
They felt and poked and pushed his pulse
He couldn’t understand at all
He fell from grace and hit the ground
He fell into the sea and drowned
They saw him struggling from the harbour
They saw him wave as he went under

(traduzione)

Cadde in disgrazia e cadde a terra
Hanno cercato invano di portarlo in giro
Nessuno lo ha visto fare la caduta
Non riuscivano a capire per niente
La sua caduta in disgrazia fu rapida e diritta
I medici non hanno esitato
Non erano sicuri di cosa avesse
Non aveva una temperatura
La sua caduta in disgrazia fu rapida e sicura
I medici hanno detto che non conoscevano una cura
Hanno sentito, colpito e spinto il suo battito
Non riusciva a capire affatto
Cadde in disgrazia e cadde a terra
Cadde in mare e annegò
Lo hanno visto lottare dal porto
Lo videro salutare mentre scendeva
