WHO DID THEY THINK HE WAS?? - CONWAY TWITTY





A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.
Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.
He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.
Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethelem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.
Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.
Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...

Nobody Knows I'm Elvis - Waylon Jennings






Well, I nearly got caught at a Burger King
And a couple of times on a plane
I thought I was safe from detection
With all of the weight I had gained.

But walking around in a jumpsuit
That didn't work worth a damn
So I bought me some Levi's and grew me a beard
And you'll never guess who I am.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

Bet you thought I was ol' Waylon
With all of my rugged good looks
Swagger and walk, body and soul
I bet he had what it took.

I've always envied his singing
The way he played a guitar
Black vest and hat, that's where it's at
That's what I call a star.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

I want to show you Graceland
Baby, that's where you ought to be
I'll give you a call but let's keep it all
Somewhere between you and me.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me...



N.B. Non solo Waylon Jennings ed Elvis si conoscevano, ma la canzone Just Because You Ask Me Too è stata scritta proprio da questo artista country

[Lisa]

Con questa canzone ha voluto fare un po' lo spiritoso
Guardandolo e sentendogli dire "Nobody Knows I'm Elvis", gli direi "Eh...ne devi mangiare ancora di piatti di pasta, prima di diventare come Elvis!"

Ieri ho sentito per caso alla radio questa canzone..mi è piaciuta tanto che l'ho cercata su youtube e ho scoperto che è un omaggio ad Elvis:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIlMR4pZ2DQ

e questo è il testo + traduzione

Black Velvet

Melissa Etheridge






Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus: Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl'
Love me tender' leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?

(Solo) chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please




Black Velvet


Mississippi in un periodo di siccità
Jimmy Rogers nel giradischi a tutto volume *
La mamma sta ballando col suo bimbo in braccio **
il sole sta tramontando, sembra melassa nel cielo
il ragazzo sapeva cantare, sapeva come muoversi, tutto
ne volevi sempre di più, ti lasciava desiderarlo

Rit.: Black velvet e il sorriso di questo ragazzino
Black velvet con questo stile lento del sud
una nuova religione che ti fa mettere in ginocchio
Black velvet per favore

a Memphis la musica è come un'onda calda
musica rock, ti faceva diventare matto
questo bambino nel cuore di ogni ragazzina della scuola
"Love me tender" le lascia a piangere in corridoio ***
il modo in cui si muoveva, era peccato, così dolce e sincero
ne volevi sempre di più, ti lasciava desiderarlo

Rit.

ogni parola di ogni canzone che cantava era per te
se ne andò in un lampo, accadde così presto, cosa ci puoi fare?

Rit. 2x

per favore, per favore, per favore

Elvis Presley Boulevard - Chris Trapper





The movie theatre's closing down in Memphis
While a blues band's burning up the stage
across town
The street lamps hang like saviours
from their crosses
While the losers throw their scratch tickets
on the ground
As the moon shines down on
Elvis Presley Boulevard
And the tourists trapped with the cameras
in their hands
Who would have ever realized that such
a short drive could seem so far
When you're a sucker searching for
the promised land
The casino manager lost the farm in Vegas
Cocaine charges sent from the D.A.
He blamed it on the lack of entertainment
He said he'd never lose his shirt
that way
You can bet your life the most dangerous
drugs are legal
And some doctors will feed you death
straight from their hands
So even if you're loved by fifty million people
There's not one of them gonna be there
where you land
Seen a white limousine on Elvis Presley
Boulevard
