Streets Of Philadelphia Lyrics


Molly Johnson Streets Of Philadelphia


I was bruised and battered
and I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue
till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends
vanished and gone
At night I could hear the
Blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I’m lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia

Traduzione

Ero malridotto
e non riuscivo a capire cosa sentivo
Non riuscivo a riconoscermi
Vedevo il mio riflesso in una vetrina
e non riconoscevo la mia stessa faccia
Oh fratello mi lascerai
a consumarmi
Sulle strade di Philadelphia

Ho caminato lungo il viale finchè le mie gambe sono
diventate come pietra
Ho sentito le voci di amici spariti e partiti
Di notte potevo sentire il sangue nelle vene
Nero e sussurrante come la pioggia
Sulle strade di Philadelphia

Non c'è alcun angelo che venga a salutarmi
Ci siamo solo io e te amico mio
I miei vestiti non mi vanno più bene
Ho camminato mille miglia
Solo per sfuggire a questa pelle

La notte è arrivata, sono sdraiato e sono sveglio
Mi sento indebolire
Quindi fratello ricevimi con il tuo bacio infedele
O ci lasceremo soli così
Sulle strade di Philadelphia
