Gugù bambino dell'età della pietra

Gugù, Stone Age Kid

Gugù bambino dell'età della pietra

One day in the Stone AgeUn dì nell'età della pietra
That distant time that wasQuel tempo lontano che fu
In a cave there livedIn una caverna viveva
A kid named GugùUn bambino di nome Gugù

He studied from a stone bookStudiava su un libro di pietra
Paper didn’t exist, you knowLa carta non c'era, si sa
That book, kids, was heavyQuel libro ragazzi pesava
Maybe more than a hundred pounds, who knowsForse più di un quintale Chissà

And when he brought his book to schoolE quando a scuola il suo libro portava
Man, it was heavy, man, it was heavyCome pesava, come pesava
With that stone, Gugù walkedCon quella pietra Gugù camminava
Man, he was sweating, man, he was sweatingCome sudava, come sudava
Every six steps, he’d stop like thatOgni sei passi così si fermava
He’d take a break, he’d take a breakSi riposava, si riposava
And when he showed up late to schoolE quando a scuola in ritardo arrivava
The teacher gave him a four for behaviorQuattro in condotta il maestro gli dava

On the big stone notebookSul grosso quaderno di pietra
Gugù wrote every dayScriveva ogni giorno Gugù
Hammering away, he carvedBattendo il martello incideva
ABC = FG = HUABC = FG = HU

Sparks flew when he hit itBattendo scintille faceva
But one day the notebook fellMa un giorno il quaderno cascò
What a bang, kids, what a bang!Che botta ragazzi, che botta!
For six days, Gugù limped aroundPer sei giorni Gugù zoppicò

And when he brought his book to schoolE quando a scuola il suo libro portava
Man, it was heavy, man, it was heavyCome pesava, come pesava
With that stone, Gugù walkedCon quella pietra Gugù camminava
Man, he was sweating, man, he was sweatingCome sudava, come sudava
Every six steps, he’d stop like thatOgni sei passi così si fermava
He’d take a break, he’d take a breakSi riposava, si riposava
And when he showed up late to schoolE quando a scuola in ritardo arrivava
The teacher gave him a four for behaviorQuattro in condotta il maestro gli dava

And us kids who complainE noi bambini che ci lamentiamo
When we carry our books to schoolQuando alla scuola I libri portiamo
If they’re heavy, we should thinkSe son pesanti allora pensiamo
