This Land Is Your Land

Woody Guthrie

Originale

Versione italiana di Gianni Barnini

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.

QUESTA TERRA E’ PER TUTTI NOI E’ la tua terra è la mia terra Dalla California all’Illinois Dalle montagne alle dolci valli Questa terra è per tutti noi Mentre vagavo sull’autostrada Ero perduto nei sogni miei Il vento forte mi ripeteva Questa terra è per tutti noi Ho girovagato in mille Stati Ho visto gente scordata ormai La nebbia intorno che mi ricordava Questa terra è per tutti noi Campi di grano vaste praterie Vecchi contadini e cowboy Un’antica quercia che mi sussurrava Questa terra è per tutti noi Non c’è nessuno che può fermarmi Ho la libertà nei pensieri miei Per nessun motivo tornerei indietro Questa terra è per tutti noi E’ la tua terra è la mia terra Dalla California all’Illinois Dalle montagne alle dolci valli Questa terra è per tutti noi
