There was a boy who like me

Gianni Morandi

C'era Un Ragazzo Che Come Me

C'era un ragazzo
Che come me
Amava I Beatles e I Rolling Stones
Girava il mondo
Veniva da gli Stati Uniti d'America

Non era bello
Ma accanto a sé
Aveva mille donne se
Cantava Help, Ticket to Ride
O Lady Jane ou Yesterday

Cantava viva la libertà
Ma ricevette una lettera
La sua chitarra mi regalò
Fu richiamato in america
Stop! Coi Rolling Stones!

Stop! Coi Beatles songs!
M'han detto va nel Viet-nam
E spara ai Viet-cong
Tatata

C'era un ragazzo
Che come me
Amava I beatles e I rolling stones
Girava il mondo ma poi finì
A far la guerra nel Viet-nam

Capelli lunghi
Non porta più
Non suona la chitarra ma
Uno strumento
Che sempre dà

La stessa nota ta ra ta ta
Non ha più amici
Non ha più fans
Vede la gente cadere giù
Nel suo paese non tornerà

Adesso è morto nel viet-nam
Stop! Con Rolling Stones!
Stop! Con Beatles songs!
Nel petto un cuore più non ha
Ma due medaglie o tre
Tatata

There was a boy who like me

There was a boy
Who like me
He loved The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
He traveled the world
He came from the United States of America

He wasn't handsome
But beside him
He had a thousand women if
He sang Help, Ticket to Ride
Or Lady Jane or Yesterday

He sang long live freedom
But he received a letter
He gave me his guitar
He was called back to America
Stop! With the Rolling Stones!

Stop! With Beatles songs!
They told him to go to Vietnam
And shoot the Viet Cong
Tatata

There was a boy
Who like me
He loved The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
He traveled the world but then ended up
Fighting in the Vietnam War

Long hair
He doesn't wear anymore
He doesn't play the guitar but
An instrument
That always gives

The same note ta ra ta ta
He has no more friends
He has no more fans
He sees people falling down
He won't return to his country

Now he's dead in Vietnam
Stop! With Rolling Stones!
Stop! With Beatles songs!
In his chest he no longer has a heart
But two or three medals
Tatata
