Boys In The Street
Greg Holden
When I was younger, my daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say, you're the last thing I wanted
The last thing I need
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street?
My son was kissing boys in the street
Tried to change me
Say I'm embarrassing my country
How could I do this to my family?
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
He'd say, we've worked for our money, we put you in school
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Now that I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hold me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say, you're a part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My daddy's dying
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Because for once we are not fighting
He'd say, there was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
And when I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
When I was younger, my daddy told me I would never
Quando ero più giovane, mio padre mi diceva che non sarei mai
Never amount to nothing special
Mai diventato niente di speciale
He'd come at me from every angle
Mi attaccava da ogni angolo
He'd say, you're the last thing I wanted
Diceva, sei l'ultima cosa che volevo
The last thing I need
L'ultima cosa di cui ho bisogno
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
Come risponderò quando i miei amici mi diranno
My son was kissing boys in the street?
Mio figlio baciava ragazzi per strada?
My son was kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio baciava ragazzi per strada
Tried to change me
Ha cercato di cambiarmi
Say I'm embarrassing my country
Dice che sto imbarazzando il mio paese
How could I do this to my family?
Come ho potuto fare questo alla mia famiglia?
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
Voglio crescere sentendomi solo?
He'd say, we've worked for our money, we put you in school
Diceva, abbiamo lavorato per i nostri soldi, ti abbiamo messo a scuola
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
È così che ci ripaghi? Pensi che sia figo?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, smetti di baciare ragazzi per strada
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, smetti di baciare ragazzi per strada
Now that I'm older
Ora che sono più grande
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
Il cuore di mio padre è un po' più caldo
But he still won't hold me like my brother
Ma lui ancora non mi abbraccia come mio fratello
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
E ancora non mi bacia come mia madre
He'd say, you're a part of this family, I made you myself
Diceva, fai parte di questa famiglia, ti ho fatto io
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
Ma il modo in cui ti comporti non è buono per la tua salute
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, smetti di baciare ragazzi per strada
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, smetti di baciare ragazzi per strada
My daddy's dying
Mio padre sta morendo
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
E finalmente ha capito che non sto mentendo
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Stiamo in silenzio ma stiamo sorridendo
Because for once we are not fighting
Perché per una volta non stiamo litigando
He'd say, there was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Diceva, non c'era modo di saperlo perché tutto quello che mi è stato insegnato
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
È che gli uomini amano solo le donne, ma ora non ne sono più sicuro
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, continua a baciare ragazzi per strada
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
Mio figlio, continua a baciare ragazzi per strada
And when I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
E quando non ci sarò più, continua a baciare ragazzi per strada
When I was younger, my daddy told me I would never
Quando eu era mais jovem, meu pai me disse que eu nunca
Never amount to nothing special
Nunca seria nada especial
He'd come at me from every angle
Ele vinha até mim de todos os ângulos
He'd say, you're the last thing I wanted
Ele dizia, você é a última coisa que eu queria
The last thing I need
A última coisa que eu preciso
