He Was The King / Lui era il Re
The last time I saw Elvis
He was shootin' at a color TV
The phones were ringin' in the Pink Motel
And the rest is history
He was the King
The last time I saw Elvis
He was singin' a gospel song
You could tell he had the feelin'
And the whole world sang along
He was the King
He was the King
The last time I saw Elvis
He was up on the silver screen
Pushin' a plow in a black and white movie
And everybody started to scream
He was the King
The last time I saw Elvis
It was some kind of Vegas dream
Spotlights flashed on a silver cape
And a blue haired lady screamed
He was the King
The last time I saw Elvis
He was frontin' a three piece band
Rockin' on the back of a flatbed truck
With an old guitar in his hand
He was the King
The last time I saw Elvis
He was ridin' in a pink Cadillac
Wind was blowin' through his hair
And he never did look back
He was the King
Thank you very much

L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Stava sparando a una tv a colori
I telefoni suonavano al Pink Motel
E il resto è storia
Lui era il Re
L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Stava cantando una canzone gospel
Lo vedevi che c’era feeling
E il mondo intero cantava con lui
Lui era il Re
Lui era il Re
L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Era là sul grande schermo
Che spingeva un aratro in un film in bianconero
E tutti hanno iniziato a urlare
Lui era il Re
L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Era una specie di sogno a Las Vegas
I riflettori illuminavano un mantello argentato
E una ragazza dai capelli blu urlava
Lui era il Re
L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Era a capo di un trio
Che rockeggiava sul cassone di un camion
Con una vecchia chitarra in mano
Lui era il Re
L'ultima volta che ho visto Elvis
Guidava una Cadillac rosa
Il vento gli soffiava tra i capelli
E non si è mai guardato indietro
Lui era il Re
Grazie davvero
