Bankrobber
JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON, TOPPER HEADON
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Some is rich, and some is poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in laying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
So he came to jazz it up
Never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn our pay
Don't forget to grovel
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to take your money
He's gone now
The old man spoke up in a bar
Said "I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison"
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
While we was being clever
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
'Cause that's where we're spinning
There's no point to want to comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning
Oh
Hey, my daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
So he came to jazz it up
We never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
And don't forget to grovel, hey
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Hey
Run, rabbit run
Brrrp, strike out boys, for the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
I know that they never will
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
My daddy was a bank robber
Mio papà era un rapinatore di banche
But he never hurt nobody
Ma non ha mai fatto del male a nessuno
He just loved to live that way
Amava solo vivere in quel modo
And he loved to steal your money
E amava rubare i tuoi soldi
Some is rich, and some is poor
Alcuni sono ricchi, e alcuni sono poveri
And that's the way the world is
Ed è così che va il mondo
But I don't believe in laying back
Ma non credo nel restare indietro
Sayin' how bad your luck is
Dicendo quanto sia sfortunata la tua sorte
So he came to jazz it up
Così è venuto per ravvivarlo
Never learned to shovel
Non ha mai imparato a pala
Break your back to earn our pay
Spezza la schiena per guadagnare il nostro stipendio
Don't forget to grovel
Non dimenticare di strisciare
My daddy was a bank robber
Mio papà era un rapinatore di banche
But he never hurt nobody
Ma non ha mai fatto del male a nessuno
He just loved to live that way
Amava solo vivere in quel modo
And he loved to take your money
E amava prendere i tuoi soldi
He's gone now
Ora se n'è andato
The old man spoke up in a bar
Il vecchio parlò in un bar
Said "I never been in prison
Disse "Non sono mai stato in prigione
A lifetime serving one machine
Una vita al servizio di una macchina
Is ten times worse than prison"
È dieci volte peggio della prigione"
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Immagina se tutti i ragazzi in carcere
Could get out now together
Potessero uscire ora insieme
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
Cosa pensi che vorrebbero dirci?
While we was being clever
Mentre noi eravamo intelligenti
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
Un giorno incontrerai la tua sedia a dondolo
'Cause that's where we're spinning
Perché è lì che stiamo girando
There's no point to want to comb your hair
Non ha senso voler pettinare i tuoi capelli
When it's grey and thinning
Quando sono grigi e diradati
Oh
Oh
Hey, my daddy was a bank robber
Ehi, mio papà era un rapinatore di banche
But he never hurt nobody
Ma non ha mai fatto del male a nessuno
He just loved to live that way
Amava solo vivere in quel modo
And he loved to steal your money
E amava rubare i tuoi soldi
So he came to jazz it up
Così è venuto per ravvivarlo
We never learned to shovel
Non abbiamo mai imparato a pala
Break your back to earn your pay
Spezza la schiena per guadagnare il tuo stipendio
And don't forget to grovel, hey
E non dimenticare di strisciare, ehi
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
Scappa, scappa, scappa, scappa, scappa, scappa, scappa
My daddy was a bank robber

E amava rubare i tuoi soldi
Hey
Ehi
Run, rabbit run
Corri, coniglio, corri
Brrrp, strike out boys, for the hills
Brrrp, ragazzi, colpite per le colline
I can find that hole in the wall
Posso trovare quel buco nel muro
I know that they never will
So che non lo faranno mai

Meu pai era um ladrão de bancos

Some is rich, and some is poor
Alguns são ricos, e alguns são pobres
And that's the way the world is
E é assim que o mundo é
But I don't believe in laying back
Mas eu não acredito em ficar deitado
Sayin' how bad your luck is
Dizendo o quão ruim é a sua sorte
So he came to jazz it up
Então ele veio para animar
Never learned to shovel
Nunca aprendeu a usar a pá
Break your back to earn our pay
Quebre suas costas para ganhar nosso pagamento
Don't forget to grovel
Não se esqueça de se humilhar

Imagine se todos os meninos na prisão
Could get out now together
Pudessem sair agora juntos
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
O que você acha que eles gostariam de nos dizer?
While we was being clever
Enquanto nós estávamos sendo espertos
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
Um dia você encontrará sua cadeira de balanço
'Cause that's where we're spinning
Porque é para lá que estamos girando
There's no point to want to comb your hair
Não há motivo para querer pentear o cabelo
When it's grey and thinning
Quando está cinza e afinando
Oh
Oh

Run, rabbit run
Corra, coelho, corra

Algunos son ricos, y otros son pobres
And that's the way the world is
Y así es como es el mundo

Diciendo qué mala es tu suerte
