Testi di The First Time - Richard Swift

The First Time (originale)

I was born in the city
Oh, but I was born in the country
My mother said I didn’t have a name
But she would have to love me just the same
I was looking for something
I was looking for something
Well, I was looking for a place to go
Someplace that maybe I could call my own
Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone
You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers
Just let it go, just let it go, let it die
You didn’t know it was the very first time
It’s getting hard to remember
It’s getting hard to remember
That all the warning signs must be ignored
We’ve got to have the things we can’t afford
Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone
You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers
Just let it go, just let it go, let it die
You didn’t know it was the very first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time
We were killing the neighbors
And we were laughing in churches
I’m very sorry but I disagree
I don’t know what has gotten into me
Just let it go, just let it go cause it’s gone
You’re pointing fingers, you’re pointing fingers
Just let it go, just let it go, let it die
You didn’t know it was the very first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time
Oh, it was the first time

(traduzione)

Sono nato in città
Oh, ma sono nato in campagna
Mia madre ha detto che non avevo un nome
Ma lei avrebbe dovuto amarmi lo stesso
Stavo cercando qualcosa
Stavo cercando qualcosa
Bene, stavo cercando un posto dove andare
Un posto che forse potrei chiamare mio
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare perché non c'è più
Stai puntando il dito, stai puntando il dito
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare, lascialo morire
Non sapevi che era la prima volta in assoluto
Sta diventando difficile da ricordare
Sta diventando difficile da ricordare
Che tutti i segnali di pericolo debbano essere ignorati
Dobbiamo avere le cose che non possiamo permetterci
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare perché non c'è più
Stai puntando il dito, stai puntando il dito
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare, lascialo morire
Non sapevi che era la prima volta in assoluto
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
Stavamo uccidendo i vicini
E stavamo ridendo nelle chiese
Mi dispiace molto ma non sono d'accordo
Non so cosa mi è preso
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare perché non c'è più
Stai puntando il dito, stai puntando il dito
Lascialo andare, lascialo andare, lascialo morire
Non sapevi che era la prima volta in assoluto
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
Oh, era la prima volta
