Testi di Mahogany Wood - The Residents

Mahogany Wood (originale)

I wish I was big
I wish I was tall
I wish I had houses
Instead of this hall
Somebody put me
Inside it one day
I know who it is
But he won’t let me say
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood
He looks at me sometimes
And sometimes he knocks
On doorways beside me
And sometimes he rocks
Me to sleep in a chair
For he knows that I need
Affection as much
As a cut needs to bleed
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood
I wish I was something
I wish I was good
I wish I was made of
Mahogany wood

(traduzione)

Vorrei essere grande
Vorrei essere alto
Vorrei avere delle case
Invece di questa sala
Qualcuno mi ha messo
Al suo interno un giorno
So chi è
Ma non me lo lascia dire
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
A volte mi guarda
E a volte bussa
Sulle porte accanto a me
E a volte rock
Io a dormire su una sedia
Perché lui sa che ho bisogno
Affetto tanto
Poiché un taglio deve sanguinare
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
Vorrei essere qualcosa
Vorrei essere bravo
Vorrei essere fatto di
Legno di mogano
