Bringin' Down Dinner / Portando giù la cena

The evening fog was rolling in
It was getting hard to see
The old white car edged down the road
Headed for the Double E

She was bringin' down dinner for Grandpa
It was crawlin' with vitamins
And tender as a mother's love
When she saw the TV vans

The side door was open
There were three TVs
Grandpa's face was on every one
He was talkin' to a woman with a microphone
She was sexy and her hair was all done

Sun Green came out and met Grandma then
“My, you're such a beautiful girl
Mother Earth needs more like you
You should go out now and see the world

What's Grandpa doin' on TV?
I got his dinner in the car
All these vans have blocked our road
But we can carry it, it's not too far”

La nebbia della sera stava salendo
Diventava difficile vederci bene
La vecchia auto bianca scendeva piano per la strada
Diretta al Double E

Stava portando giù la cena per Nonno
Era piena di vitamine
E dolce come l'amore di una mamma
Quando vide i furgoni della TV

Il portellone era aperto
C'erano tre TV
Il volto di Nonno era su tutte e tre
Parlava a una donna con un microfono
Lei era sexy, coi capelli tutti in piega

Sun Green uscì e incontrò Nonna
“Mia cara, sei una ragazza così bella
Madre Terra ha bisogno di tanti come te
Dovresti proprio andare, ora, e vedere il mondo

Cosa ci fa Nonno alla TV?
Ho la sua cena in macchina
Tutti quei furgoni hanno bloccato la nostra strada
Ma possiamo portargliela, non è molto lontano”
