Lyrics

C’era un ragazzo
che come me amava i Beatles
e i Rolling Stones
girava il mondo,
veniva da gli Stati Uniti d’America.
Non era bello
ma accanto a s aveva mille donne se cantava «Help» e «Ticket to ride»
o «Lady Jane» o «Yesterday».
Cantava «Viva la libert»
ma ricevette una lettera,
la sua chitarra mi regal
fu richiamato in America.
Stop! coi Rolling Stones!
Stop! coi Beatles. Stop!
Gli han detto vai nel Vietnam
e spara ai Vietcong…
Ta ta ta ta ta…
C’era un ragazzo
che come me amava i Beatles
e i Rolling Stones
girava il mondo,
ma poi fin
a far la guerra nel Vietnam.
Capelli lunghi non porta pi,
non suona la chitarra ma uno strumento che sempre d la stessa nota ratatata.
Non ha pi amici, non ha pi fans,
vede la gente cadere gi:
nel suo paese non torner
adesso morto nel Vietnam.
Stop! coi Rolling Stones!
Stop! coi Beatles. Stop!
Nel petto un cuore pi non ha ma due medaglie o tre…
Ta ta ta ta ta…

Lyrics translation

There was a boy
that like me loved The Beatles
and The Rolling Stones
around the world,
he came from the United States of America.
It wasn't nice.
but next to s he had a thousand women if he sang "Help" and " Ticket to ride»
Lady Jane or Yesterday.
She sang " Viva La libert»
but he received a letter,
his guitar regal me
he was recalled to America.
Stop! The Rolling Stones!
Stop! with The Beatles. Stop!
They told him to go to Vietnam.
and shoot the Vietcong…
Ta ta ta ta ta…
There was a boy
that like me loved The Beatles
and The Rolling Stones
around the world,
but then until
to war in Vietnam.
Long hair does not bring more,
he does not play the guitar but an instrument that always d the same ratatata note.
He has no more friends, no more fans,
he sees people fall already:
in your country do not return
now dead in Vietnam.
Stop! The Rolling Stones!
Stop! with The Beatles. Stop!
In the chest a heart has only two medals or three…
Ta ta ta ta ta…
