Paroles et traduction Francesco De Gregori - Il Signor Hood - Live 2003

Il Signor Hood - Live 2003

Il signor Hood era un galantuomo,
Sempre ispirato dal sole,
Con due pistole caricate a salve
E un canestro di parole,
Con due pistole caricate a salve
E un canestro pieno di parole.
E che fosse un bandito negare non si può,
Però non era il solo,
E che fosse un bandito negare non si può.

E sulla strada di Pescara venne assalito dai parenti ingordi
E scaricò le sue pistole in aria
E regalò le sue parole ai sordi
E scaricò le sue pistole in aria
E regalò le sue parole ai sordi.
E qualcuno ha pensato che forse è morto lì
Però non era vero,
E qualcuno ha pensato che forse è morto lì.

E adesso anche quando piove,
Lo vedi sempre con le spalle al sole,
Con un canestro di parole nuove calpestare
Nuove aiuole,
Con un canestro di parole nuove calpestare
Nuove aiuole.
E tutti lo chiamavano Signor Hood
Ma il suo vero nome era spina di pesce,
E tutti lo chiamavano Signor Hood.

Mr. Hood - Live 2003

Mr. Hood was a fine man,
Always smiling in the sun,
With two guns loaded with blanks
And a sack full of words,
With two guns loaded with blanks
And a sack full of words.
Though he was a thief, there's no denying
He was not alone
Though he was a thief, there's no denying.

On the road to Pescara he was attacked by greedy relatives
And he fired his guns up in the air
And he gave his words to the deaf
And he fired his guns up in the air
And he gave his words to the deaf.
And some have thought that maybe that's where he died
But no, it's not true
And some have thought that maybe that's where he died.

And now, even when it's raining
You can see him with his back to the sun
With a sack of new words to trample
New flowerbeds,
With a sack of new words to trample
New flowerbeds.
And everyone called him Mr. Hood,
But his real name was Fishbone,
And everyone called him Mr. Hood.
