Leaves That are Green
Testo
Testo
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Once my heart was filled with love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
Good-bye, Good-bye
Good-bye, Good-bye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Once my heart was filled with love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
Good-bye, Good-bye
Good-bye, Good-bye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
Foglie Verdi

Avevo ventun anni quando scrissi questa canzone
ora ne ho ventidue ma non durerà molto
Il tempo scorre
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
e imbiancano nel vento
e si sbriciolano tra le tue mani
Un tempo il mio cuore batteva per una ragazza
la strinsi a me ma lei svanì nella notte
come una poesia che avevo in mente di scrivere
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
e imbiancano nel vento
e si sbriciolano tra le tue mani
Ho lanciato un sasso nel torrente
e ho osservato le onde allontanarsi
senza fare un suono
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
e imbiancano nel vento
e si sbriciolano tra le tue mani
Ciao, ciao, ciao, ciao
A presto, a presto
A presto, a presto
è tutto quello che c'è
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
ora ne ho ventidue ma non durerà molto
Il tempo scorre
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
e imbiancano nel vento
e si sbriciolano tra le tue mani

A presto, a presto
A presto, a presto
è tutto quello che c'è
e le foglie che sono verdi ingialliscono
