The Meeting
Elaine BrownOriginal | Traduzione italiana da YT |
THE MEETING Yes he turned and be walked Past the eyes of my life And he nodded and sang without sound And his face had the look Of a man who knew strife And a feeling familiarly came around I said man Where have you been for all these years Man where were you when I sought you Man do you know me as I know you Man am I coming through And he spoke in a voice That was centuries old And be smiled in a way that was strange And his full lips of night Spoke about our people's plight And a feeling familiarly came around I said man Where have you been for all these years Man where were you when I sought you Man do you know me as I know you Man am I coming through And we sat and we talked About freedom and things And he told me about what he dreamed But I knew of that dream Long before he had spoke And a feeling familiarly came around I said man Where have you been for all these years Man where were you when I sought you Man do you know me as I know you Man am I coming through | L'INCONTRO Egli si voltò e passò davanti agli occhi della mia vita e mi fece segno e parlò senza suono e il suo viso avveva lo sguardo dell'uomo che aveva conosciuto la lotta ed un sentimento familiare ci avvolse io dissi "Uomo dove sei stato per tutti questi anni? uomo dov'eri quando ti ho cercato? uomo mi conosci come io conosco te uomo mi hai capito?" e noi sedemmo e parlammo di libertà e di altre cose e lui mi disse che aveva sognato ma io sapevo di quel sogno molto prima che lui ne parlasse e un sentimento familiare ci avvolse io dissi "Uomo dove sei stato per tutti questi anni? uomo dov'eri quando ti ho cercato? uomo mi conosci come io conosco te uomo mi hai capito? |
