Traduzione del testo della canzone Royal Blue - The American Scene

Royal Blue (originale)

I was a coward disguised as a lover
Of a beautiful invisible truth
I was a burnin' man
In the well lit corner of an empty room
I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'
I was cool, I was so-so cool
I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'
Passed out and indifferent, yeah, I had a vision
Lay here long enough to make it a scene
I was convincin' my new friends I was missin', nothin' and everythin'
Steadily repeat, I was in luv with what they needed
Nothin' and everythin', everythin', everythin', everythin'
Then I told you I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'
And I was cool, I was so-so cool
I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'
I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue
(Bridge)
It’s freezin' in Oakland
He’s holdin', I’m coastin'
I should be done for the night
As soon as I’m home
You’ll be up and goin'
In transit but trapped at a light
I was cruel, I was so cruel
I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dyin'
I was cool, I was so-so cool
I was so cool, so cool when I was dyin'
I was a royal shade of blue, I was a royal shade of blue

(traduzione)

Ero un codardo travestito da amante
Di una bella verità invisibile
Ero un uomo in fiamme
Nell'angolo ben illuminato di una stanza vuota
Sono stato crudele, ero così crudele
Ero così crudele, così crudele quando stavo morendo
Ero cool, ero così cool
Ero così cool, così cool quando stavo morendo
Svenuto e indifferente, sì, ho avuto una visione
Rimani qui abbastanza a lungo da farne una scena
Stavo convincendo i miei nuovi amici che mi mancava, niente e tutto
Ripeto costantemente, ero interessato a ciò di cui avevano bisogno
Niente e tutto, tutto, tutto, tutto
Poi ti ho detto che ero crudele, ero così crudele
Ero così crudele, così crudele quando stavo morendo
E sono stato cool, ero così cool
Ero così cool, così cool quando stavo morendo
Ero una tonalità regale di blu, ero una tonalità regale di blu
(Ponte)
Sta congelando a Oakland
Lui sta tenendo, io sto costeggiando
Dovrei aver finito per la notte
Non appena sono a casa
Sarai alzato e te ne andrai
In transito ma intrappolato a un semaforo
Sono stato crudele, ero così crudele
Ero così crudele, così crudele quando stavo morendo
Ero cool, ero così cool
Ero così cool, così cool quando stavo morendo
Ero una tonalità regale di blu, ero una tonalità regale di blu
