A poche ore da te (Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa) - Gene Pitney

Cara scrivo

Scrivo per dirti che

Io non tornero' mai piu'

Per dirti come quello

Quello che accade in viaggio

E' che mi cambio' mi cambio'

Io ero solo a poche ore da casa

Ah solo a poche ore da te

Ma vidi alcuni in un bar

E chiesi a lor di versar

Volevo solo bere una bevanda calda

E apoche ore ripartir

Ma vidi gli occhi verdi

Di una ragazza che era

Vicino a me in quel bar

Io ero solo a poche ore da casa

Ah solo a poche ore da te

Per caso io la fermai

M’innamorai poi di lei

E lei di me

Io ero solo a poche ore da casa

Solo a poche ore da te

Qualcuno accese il juke box

Io la invitai a ballar

E lei si strinse molto

Ed io mi persi nelle sue braccia

E poi la baciai

E dissi cose pazze

Che io non dissi mai

A nessuno mai neanche a te

Io ero solo a poche ore da casa

Ah solo a poche ore da te

Per caso io la fermai

M’innamorai poi di lei

E lei di me

Pero' ormai mai mai ormai

Dear I write

I am writing to tell you that

I will never come back

To tell you like that

What happens on the go

It's that I change 'I change'

I was only a few hours from home

Ah just a few hours away from you

But I saw some in a bar

And I asked them to pay

I just wanted to have a hot drink

And in a few hours I will start again

But I saw the green eyes

Of a girl that was

Next to me in that bar

I was only a few hours from home

Ah just a few hours away from you

By chance I stopped her

I then fell in love with her

And she about me

I was only a few hours from home

Only a few hours away from you

Someone turned on the juke box

I invited her to dance

And she hugged a lot

And I got lost in his arms

And then I kissed her

And I said crazy things

Which I never said

Nobody ever, not even you

I was only a few hours from home

Ah just a few hours away from you

By chance I stopped her

I then fell in love with her

And she about me

But now never never now
