yt The Pogues, Shane MacGowan - A Rainy Night In Soho

 

I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
 

We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
 

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
 

I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys

 


Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head


I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first times
I never think about the last
 

Now the song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams


The measure of my dreams

Ti amo da molto tempo

Giù per tutti gli anni, giù per tutti i giorni
E ho pianto per tutti i tuoi problemi
Ho sorriso dei tuoi piccoli modi divertenti


Abbiamo visto i nostri amici crescere insieme
E li abbiamo visti cadere
Alcuni di loro caddero in Paradiso
Alcuni di loro caddero all'Inferno
 

Mi sono riparato dalla doccia
E sono entrato tra le tue braccia
In una notte piovosa a Soho
Il vento fischiava tutto il suo fascino
 

Ti ho cantato tutti i miei dolori
Mi hai raccontato tutte le tue gioie
Cos'è successo a quella vecchia canzone?
A tutte quelle bambine e bambini

 


A volte mi svegliavo la mattina
La signora rossa accanto al mio letto
Coperto da un manto di silenzio
Ti sentirei parlare nella mia testa


Non canto per il futuro
Non sto sognando il passato
Non sto parlando delle prime volte
Non penso mai all'ultima
 

Adesso la canzone è quasi finita
Forse non scopriremo mai cosa significa
C'è ancora una luce che tengo davanti a me
Sei la misura dei miei sogni
 

La misura dei miei sogni

I didn't mean to hurt you
You know, it's just my way
Those things that I said yesterday
Were things I shouldn't say
Although you're blue
Just one thing I want you to do
Just forget all those things
That I said about you
'Cause I've been loving you baby
Loving you baby for a long time
And if you go away
I just won't know what to do
Yes, I've been loving you baby
Loving you baby for a long time
And you know in your heart
That I'll always worship you
I couldn't bear to see you go
Oh, no, no, no, no
So don't you feel sad
It's not the thing to do
Because I worry
If I know you're feeling blue
Please, put your tears away
So nobody can see
'Cause the last thing I want
Is for you to cry over me
'Cause I've been loving you baby
Loving you baby for a long time
And if you go away
I just won't know what to do
Yes, I've been loving you baby
Loving you baby for a long time
And you know in your heart
That I'll always worship you
'Cause I've been lovin' you baby
Lovin' you baby for a long time
And if you go away
