Diana
Paul Anka& Tom Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Certo non ne ho viste mai
Belle e sexy meglio di lei
Ma a me sembra che lei è un po'
Troppo giovane per te
Ti capisco e come no?
Se però soffrire non vuoi
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana

Già io ti vedo passeggiar
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre c'è chi pensa già
Che di Diana il padre sei
Ed ogni volta dover dire
Che tua figlia lei non è
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana

Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?

E tu che non ti accorgi che lei sta cuocendoti a fuoco lento
Anche se poi chi ama di più
Fra voi due è ancora lei (I don't care)
Finché un giorno ti risveglierai
Come un pugile un po' suonato
Dal gran vuoto che ti ha lasciato
Fuggi via da lei
Diana

Capricciosa
Bionda e rosa
Morbidosa e poi
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?

Tu quale non ti accorgi che non sta cuocendo soltanto me
È a un certo punto ormai anche con te
Forse ammetterlo tu non puoi
E sono certo che nei panni miei
Pur di stare vicino a lei
Te ne freghi degli anni tuoi
Perché lei è lo sai
Diana

Già io mi vedo in un caffè
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre i barman già pensan che
Che un bel giorno poi finirà
Come pugili un po' suonati
Quasi morti e innamorati
Resta qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Paul, ehi Paul
Adriano, Adriano sono qui
Lei dove è?
Sta arrivando





Ciao ragazzi
