It's America
BRETT JAMES, ANGELO PETRAGLIA
Driving down the street today I saw a sign for lemonade
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen in this front yard
As they handed me my glass, smiling thinking to myself
Man, what a picture-perfect postcard this would make of America
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
It's America
Later on when I got home, I flipped the TV on
I saw a little town that some big twister tore apart
And people came from miles around just to help their neighbours out
And I was thinking to myself I'm so glad that I live in America
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
It's America
Now we might not always get it all right
There's no place else I'd rather build my life
'Cause it's a kid with a chance, it's a rock 'n roll band
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
It's a big flag flyin' in a summer wind
Over a fallen hero's grave
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song
It's a welcome home parade, yeah
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids sellin' lemonade
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
It's America! It's America! Oh, oh yeah, woo!
Driving down the street today I saw a sign for lemonade
Dirigindo pela rua hoje eu vi uma placa de limonada
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen in this front yard
Eles eram as crianças mais fofas que eu já vi neste quintal da frente
As they handed me my glass, smiling thinking to myself
Enquanto eles me entregavam meu copo, sorrindo pensando comigo mesmo
Man, what a picture-perfect postcard this would make of America
Cara, que cartão postal perfeito isso faria da América
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
É um baile de formatura do ensino médio, é uma música de Springsteen, é um passeio em um Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
É um homem na lua e vaga-lumes em junho e crianças vendendo limonada
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
São cidades e fazendas, são braços abertos, uma nação sob Deus
It's America
É a América
Later on when I got home, I flipped the TV on
Mais tarde, quando cheguei em casa, liguei a TV
I saw a little town that some big twister tore apart
Eu vi uma pequena cidade que um grande tornado destruiu
And people came from miles around just to help their neighbours out
E as pessoas vieram de milhas ao redor apenas para ajudar seus vizinhos
And I was thinking to myself I'm so glad that I live in America
E eu estava pensando comigo mesmo, estou tão feliz por viver na América
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song, it's a ride in a Chevrolet
É um baile de formatura do ensino médio, é uma música de Springsteen, é um passeio em um Chevrolet
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade
É um homem na lua e vaga-lumes em junho e crianças vendendo limonada
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
São cidades e fazendas, são braços abertos, uma nação sob Deus
It's America
É a América
Now we might not always get it all right
Agora, talvez nem sempre acertemos tudo
There's no place else I'd rather build my life
Não há outro lugar onde eu preferiria construir minha vida
'Cause it's a kid with a chance, it's a rock 'n roll band
Porque é uma criança com uma chance, é uma banda de rock 'n roll
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
É um fazendeiro cortando feno
It's a big flag flyin' in a summer wind
É uma grande bandeira voando ao vento de verão
Over a fallen hero's grave
Sobre o túmulo de um herói caído
It's a high school prom, it's a Springsteen song
É um baile de formatura do ensino médio, é uma música de Springsteen
It's a welcome home parade, yeah
É um desfile de boas-vindas, sim
It's a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids sellin' lemonade
É um homem na lua e vaga-lumes em junho e crianças vendendo limonada
It's cities and farms, it's open arms, one nation under God
São cidades e fazendas, são braços abertos, uma nação sob Deus
It's America! It's America! Oh, oh yeah, woo!
É a América! É a América! Oh, oh sim, woo!

Now we might not always get it all right
Ahora puede que no siempre lo hagamos todo bien
There's no place else I'd rather build my life
No hay otro lugar donde preferiría construir mi vida
'Cause it's a kid with a chance, it's a rock 'n roll band
Porque es un niño con una oportunidad, es una banda de rock 'n roll
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
Es un granjero cortando heno
It's a big flag flyin' in a summer wind
Es una gran bandera volando en un viento de verano

Guidando per strada oggi ho visto un cartello per la limonata
They were the cutest kids I'd ever seen in this front yard

Man, what a picture-perfect postcard this would make of America
Uomo, che cartolina perfetta farebbe dell'America
