MARINA "Daddy Was A Sailor" testo

Daddy Was A Sailor

Grandpa was a minerAnd he gave me my black heartBitter rivers of black coal dustTore our country apart

Covered in coal dustWaking up too early in the morningCovered in coal dustWaiting for the moment the canary sings

Mama was a mermaidAnd a Carnaby Street galShe could have been a modelBut she spent her life mopping up spilt milk

Covered in sea saltWould he, could he, be homewhen the stars came out to partyCovered in sea saltYeah I know it was my faultThat he always ran awaybecause he didn't want me

Oh, daddy was a sailorAnd he gave me a black heartOh, daddy was a sailorThe only man that could tear me apart

Daddy, daddy, daddy

Sister dances salsaAnd she chants just like a queenI was a non-believer when she told me I was free

Auntie Emy was a mediumAnd she worked the Ouija boardSeeking out the lost soulsAnd taking men back to the Lord

Oh but daddy still was a sailorAnd he gave me a black heartOh, daddy was a sailorThe only man that could tear me apart

Daddy, daddy, daddy

Papà Era Un Marinaio

Coperto di polvere di carbone,svegliandosi troppo presto la mattina,coperto di polvere di carbone,aspettando il momento in cui il canarino canta

Mamma era una sirenaE una ragazza della Carnaby StreetAvrebbe potuto essere una modellama spese la sua vita rastrellando il latte versato

Coperto di sale marino,lui avrebbe, lui potrebbe, essere a casa quando le stelle vengono fuori per festeggiarecoperto di sale marino,sì, so che era colpa miaChe lui scappava sempre via perchè lui non mi voleva.

Oh, papà era un marinaioe mi diede un cuore neroOh, papà era un marinaio,l'unico uomo che potrebbe farmi a pezzi

Papà, papà, papà

La sorella balla il salsae canta come una reginaIo ero una non credente quando mi disse che ero libera

Zia Emy era un medium,e lavorava alla tavola Ouijaalla ricerca di anime persee portando gli uomini indietro al signore

Oh ma papà era ancora un marinaioe mi diede un cuore neroOh, papà era un marinaiol'unico uomo che potrebbe farmi a pezzi
