Testi di Mary Was Pretty - The Kingston Trio

Mary Was Pretty (originale)

Mary was pretty.
Mary was kind
I still can’t get Mary off of my mind
Mary’s on my mind
But Nancy was charmin' and had poise and grace
I’ll always remember my dear Nancy’s face
And her warm embrace
But Barbara was lively, how she use to tease
As light and refreshing as a Spring breeze
Barbara gave me these
But then there was Joan, she thought me too tame
She just didn’t care for playing the game
But I gave Joannie my name

(traduzione)

Maria era carina.
Maria è stata gentile
Non riesco ancora a togliermi dalla mente Mary
Mary è nella mia mente
Ma Nancy era affascinante e aveva equilibrio e grazia
Ricorderò sempre il viso della mia cara Nancy
E il suo caldo abbraccio
Ma Barbara era vivace, come era solita prendere in giro
Leggero e rinfrescante come una brezza primaverile
Barbara mi ha dato questi
Ma poi c'era Joan, mi considerava troppo addomesticata
Semplicemente non le importava di giocare
Ma ho dato a Joannie il mio nome
