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 to 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 fear?
Wish you were here

traduzione

Così, così credi di saper distinguere
Paradiso da inferno
Cieli azzurri dal dolore
Puoi distinguere un campo verde
Da un freddo binario d’acciaio?
Un sorriso da dietro un velo?
Pensi di riuscirci?

E ti hanno convinto a barattare
I tuoi eroi con fantasmi?
Ceneri fumanti con alberi?
Aria calda con vento fresco?
Gelido comfort con aneliti di cambiamento?
Hai scambiato la parte da comparsa in guerra
Per un ruolo di protagonista in una gabbia?

Come vorrei, come vorrei tu fossi qui
Siamo soltanto due anime perse
Che nuotano in una boccia per pesci
Anno dopo anno
In corsa sul solito vecchio terreno
Per trovare che cosa?
Le stesse vecchie paure
Vorrei averti qui

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

                        Do                   Re
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,
              Lam                  Sol
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze,
                 Re
cold comfort for change,
              Do                           Lam
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
                     Sol
for a lead role in a cage?

Sol  Mim  Sol  Mim  Sol  Mim  La  Mim  La  Sol

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