Paroles et traduction Claudio Baglioni - Oh Merilù

Oh Merilù

Oh Merilù
C'eri tu
Merilù
Oh Merilù
Dove sei
Merilù
Sei anni fa mi comprai una chitarra per poco
Era già usata e la marca mi pare Kit
E fu così che con Gigi con Aldo e con Kiko
Misi su un complessino di quelli beat
Le prove in una cantina per seimila al mese
Un bugigattolo che stava sotto ad un bar
Il nostro impianto era certo di poche pretese
Solo dieci watt
E dalle tre fino alle sei
Con "paint it black" e "yesterday"
Con un supplì e un'HB fumata in tre
E un vecchio rock
Suonato in re
E poi qualcuno diceva "non mi sento bene"
Era una scusa qualunque per salir su
Sperava forse che fosse affacciata al balcone
Proprio Merilù
La la la
Ma che tempi erano quelli
E purtroppo non ci son più
Anche se ogni mese arrivava il padrone
Con un vocione
"Fuori i soldi dell'affitto"
Oh Merilù
C'eri tu
Merilù
Oh Merilù
Dove sei
Merilù
I primi tempi facemmo un po' di economia
La batteria coi fustini del Dixan
E dopo aver consultato l'enciclopedia
C'eravamo chiamati "I Sandokan"
Ed una volta successe di suonare fuori
In un locale alla moda chiamato "Fox"
Con medaglioni stivali e i vestiti migliori
Le mosso copiate dai "Rokes"
E dalle tre fino alle sei
Prima "Michelle" poi "Lady Jane"
E dopo un po' qualcuno urlò "che porcheria"
Un vecchio rock poi tutti via
Gigi scappava alle sei c'era ripetizione
E Kiko andava in palestra per il judo
Aldo alle prese col flipper
E io sotto al balcone
Della Merilù
La la la
Ma che tempi erano quelli
E purtroppo non ci son più
Anche se ogni tanto arrivava una vecchia
Ad interromper la pacchia
"Chiamerò i carabinieri"
Oh Merilù
C'eri tu Merilù
Oh Merilù
Dove sei Merilù

Oh Merilù

Oh Merilù
You were there
Merilù
Oh Merilù
Where are you?
Merilù
Six years ago I bought myself a guitar for little
It was already used and the brand, I believe, was Kit
And so it was that with Gigi, with Aldo and with Kiko
I put together a band of beat musicians
We rehearsed in a basement for six thousand a month
A hovel that was under a bar
Our equipment was certainly unpretentious
Only ten watts
And from three until six
With "paint it black" and "yesterday"
With a supplì and an HB smoked by three
And an old rock song
Played in D
And then someone would say "I don't feel well"
It was a lame excuse to go upstairs
He probably hoped that she was leaning out the window
Just Merilù
La la la
But what times those were
And unfortunately they are gone
Even if every month the landlord arrived
With a booming voice
"Out with the rent money"
Oh Merilù
You were there
Merilù
Oh Merilù
Where are you?
Merilù
In the beginning we practiced economy
The drum set was made with Dixan containers
And after consulting the encyclopedia
We called ourselves "The Sandokans"
And once we got to play outside
At a trendy club called "Fox"
With medallions, boots, and our best clothes
Our dance moves copied from the "Rokes"
And from three until six
First "Michelle" then "Lady Jane"
And after a while someone shouted "what crap"
An old rock song and then everyone left
Gigi ran off at six because he had a study session
And Kiko went to the gym for judo
Aldo was busy with pinball
And I was under the window
Of Merilù
La la la
But what times those were
And unfortunately they are gone
Even if every now and then an old lady would come
To interrupt the easy life
"I'll call the police"
Oh Merilù
You were there Merilù
Oh Merilù
Where are you Merilù
