Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Il testo

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, 
blue skies from pain. 
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? 
Do you think you can tell? 

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts? 
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? 
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange 
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? 

How I wish, how I wish you were here. 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, 
year after year, 
running over the same old ground. What have we found? 
The same old fears, 
wish you were here.

traduzione

Allora, pensi di saper distinguere 
il paradiso dall'inferno? 
I cieli azzurri dal dolore? 
Sai distinguere un campo verde 
da una fredda rotaia d'acciaio? 
Un sorriso da un pretesto? 
Pensi di saperli distinguere? 
Ti hanno portato a barattare i tuoi eroi per dei fantasmi? 
Ceneri calde con gli alberi? 
Aria calda con brezza fresca? 
Un freddo benessere con un cambiamento? 
e hai scambiato un ruolo di comparsa nella guerra 
con il ruolo da protagonista in una gabbia? 
Come vorrei, come vorrei che fossi qui 
Siamo solo due anime sperdute 
Che nuotano in una boccia di pesci 
Anno dopo anno 
Corriamo sullo stesso vecchio terreno 
E cosa abbiamo trovato? 
Le solite vecchie paure 
Vorrei che fossi qui
