versione alternativa
TO JFK
adattamento dell'omonimo traditional

traduzione di Michele Murino

Era un mio amico
Era un mio amico
La sua uccisione non ha scopo
Nč motivo nč senso
Era un mio amico

Era nella cittā di Dallas
Era nella cittā di Dallas
Da una finestra del sesto piano
un cecchino lo ha colpito
E' morto nella cittā di Dallas

Non ha mai conosciuto il mio nome
Non ha mai conosciuto il mio nome
Anche se non l'ho mai incontrato
Lo conoscevo lo stesso
Era un mio amico

Guida di una nazione
In un periodo cosė prezioso
Era un mio amico


HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE
words and music Bob Dylan

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose,
No reason or rhyme,
He was a friend of mine.

He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a 6th floor window
A gunner shot him down
He died in Dallas town.

He never knew my name,
He never knew my name,
Though I never met him
I knew him just the same
He was a friend of mine.

Leader of a nation
At such a precious time,
He was a friend of mine.
