Avevamo cinque anni,
correvamo sui cavalli
io e lei contro agli indiani,
eravamo due cow boy
Bang bang, di colpo lei,
Bang bang, lei si voltò
Bang bang, di colpo lei,
Bang bang, a terra mi gettò.
Non si può fermare il tempo,
non si può mutare il vento
quindici anni aveva lei,
ricordo quando mi baciò
Bang bang, di colpo lei,
Bang bang, lei si voltò
Bang bang, lei mi baciò,
Bang bang, e a terra mi lasciò.
Sempre al mondo ci sarà,
chi quei colpi sparerà
Sempre al mondo ci sarà,
chi quei colpi sparerà
A vent’anni all’improvviso,
senza dir perché né dove
se ne andata lei mi ha ucciso
come fosse un colpo al cuore
Bang bang, di colpo lei,
Bang bang, lei si voltò
Bang bang, lei se ne andò.

I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black you wore white
You would always win the fight
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up I called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang I shot you down
Bang bang you hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang I used to shot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang Hey! Hey!
Now he’s gone I don’t know why
Sometimes I cry You didn’t say goodbye
You didn’t take the time to lie
Bang bang he shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

Versione di:
* Stevie Wonder
– 1967 Down to earth

She was five and I was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight
Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up, I called her mine
She would always laugh and say,
“Remember when we used to play?”
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bell rang
Hey! Bang bang bang bang
Hey! Bang bang bang bang
Yeah! Bang bang bang bang
Yeah! Bang bang bang bang
Now she’s gone, I don’t know why
‘Till the day sometimes I cry
She didn’t even say goodbye
She didn’t take the time to lie
Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
