I’ve Been Everywhere (Johnny Cash)
VIDEO with LYRICS
TESTO CANZONE / LYRICS
When along came a semi with a high an’ canvas covered load
“If you’re goin’ to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride”
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, “Listen, I’ve traveled every road in this here land”
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve a’had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo
Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I’m a killer
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve a’had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee to Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake
Grand Lake, Devil’s Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete’s sake
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve a’had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean’a
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve a’had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, El Dorado
Larimore, Admore, Haverstraw, Chatanika
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelaka
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity
Crossed the desert’s bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve a’had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere, man (x2)
TRADUZIONE
Sono Stato Ovunque
Stavo trasportando il pacco lungo la strada polverosa di Winnemucca
Quando è arrivata un camion con un alto e coperto carico di tela
“Se vai a Winnemucca, Mack, puoi viaggiare con me”
E così sono salito in cabina e poi mi sono posizionato
Mi ha chiesto se avessi visto una strada con tanta polvere e sabbia
E ho detto: “Ascolta, ho percorso ogni strada in questa terra qui”
Sono stato ovunque, amico(2)
Ho attraversato il deserto vuoto,amico
Ho respirato l’aria di montagna, amico
Del viaggio ho avuto la mia parte, amico
Sono stato ovunque
Sono stato a Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
