VIDEO LIVE
TESTO CANZONE / LYRICS
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
Old worn out clothes and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked, when no one’s around.
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain’t locked, when no one’s around.
I sing, trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means by no means, king of the road.

TRADUZIONE
Re Della Strada
Roulotte in vendita o in affitto
stanze da lasciare…50 centesimi
niente telefono, niente piscina, niente animali domestici
non ho sigarette
ah, ma due ore a spazzare
mi comprano una stanza 8×12 (piedi) da 50 centesimi (“two-bit”= 25 cents => “four-bit”=> 50 cents)
sono un uomo facoltoso ma senza mezzi
re della strada
terzo vagone merci, treno di mezzanotte
destinazione…Bangor, Maine
vestiti e scarpe vecchi e logori
non pago alcuna tassa sindacale
fumo vecchi sigari che ho trovato
corti, ma non troppo grandi di circonferenza
sono un uomo facoltoso ma senza mezzi
re della strada
conosco ogni macchinista su ogni treno
tutti i loro figli, e tutti i loro nomi
e ogni mendicante
e ogni serratura che non è chiusa
quando non c’è nessuno attorno
canto
roulotte in vendita o in affitto
stanze da lasciare…50 centesimi
niente telefono, niente piscina, niente animali domestici
non ho sigarette
ah, ma due ore a far andare la scopa
mi comprano una stanza 8×12 (piedi) da 50 centesimi
sono un uomo facoltoso ma senza mezzi
Re della strada
