CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS
di Bob Dylan, Carl Perkins

traduzione di Michele Murino

Ho una donna in Marocco,
ne ho una in Spagna.
La donna che mi ha rubato il cuore
vive a Champaign

Intendo Champaign, Champaign, Illinois
Di certo mi piace Champaign, Illinois

La prima volta che ci sono andato
mi han trattato così bene
Gente, devo confessarvi
che pensavo che l'intera dannata città fosse mia

Su a Champaign,
intendo Champaign, Champaign, Illinois
Di certo mi piace Champaign, Illinois

Non avevo casa il Venerdì,
e nemmeno il Sabato,
Gente, devo confessarvi
che sanno proprio come rimettervi a nuovo a Champaign, Illinois

Su a Champaign,
intendo Champaign, Champaign, Illinois
Di certo mi piace Champaign, Illinois

Beh, sono stato in un mucchio di posti
Non c'è niente che io non abbia fatto
ma quando parliamo di donne, Dio,
ne ho solo una

Sta su a Champaign,
intendo Champaign, Champaign, Illinois
Di certo mi piace Champaign, Illinois

 

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS
by Bob Dylan, Carl Perkins.

I got a woman in Morocco,
I got a woman in Spain,
Woman that's done stole my heart,
She lives up in Champaign.

I say Champaign, Champaign, Illinois,
I certainly do enjoy Champaign, Illinois.

The first time that I went there,
They treated me so fine.
Man alive, I'm telling you,
I thought the whole darn town was mine.

Up in Champaign,
I say Champaign, Champaign, Illinois,
I certainly do enjoy Champaign, Illinois.

Well, I didn't have a home on Friday,
And on a Saturday too.
Man alive, I'm telling you,
They'll know just what to do up in Champaign, Illinois.

Up in Champaign,
I say Champaign, Champaign, Illinois,
I certainly do enjoy Champaign, Illinois.

Well, I've been a whole lotta places,
There's nothin' I ain't done,
But when it comes to women, boy,
I got only one.

She's up in Champaign,
I say Champaign, Champaign, Illinois,
Yes, I certainly do enjoy Champaign, Illinois.
