Che Million Reasons sia effettivamente il nuovo singolo estratto da Joanne, il quinto disco di Lady Gaga non è ancora chiaro: che si tratti di un pezzone, in ogni caso, è poco ma sicuro.
L’artista statunitense ha presentato il brano in anteprima questa notte a Nashville, nel corso del suo geniale Dive Bar Tour, una mini tournèe promozionale per il suo nuovo disco che in occasione di tre diverse date presenterà alcuni pezzi del disco a pochi fan selezionati all’interno di alcuni bar “malfamati” in giro per gli Stati Uniti.
Million Reasons è un pezzo dalle chiare influenze country, scritto in collaborazione con la cantautrice Hillary Lindsay: si tratta di una ballad intensa ed emozionante, priva dei fronzoli a cui Gaga spesso ci ha abituati. Un brano elegante e posato che apre la strada ad un disco che a questo punto, è ufficiale, sarà pieno di sorprese.
Qui sotto audio, testo e traduzione di Million Reasons di Lady Gaga.
[Verse 1]
You’re giving me a million reasons to let you go
You’re giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You’re givin’ me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin’ me a million reasons
About a million reasons
If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I’d forever be still
But you’re giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin’ me a million reasons
About a million reasons
[Chorus]
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worse seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
[Verse 2]
Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It’s like that I’ve stopped breathing, but completely aware
‘Cause you’re giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin’ me a million reasons
About a million reasons
And if you say something that you might even mean
It’s hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
‘Cause you’re giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin’ me a million reasons
About a million reasons
[Chorus]
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worse seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
[Bridge]
Hey, ehh, ehh, eyy
Baby I’m bleedin’, bleedin’
Stay, ehh, ehhy
Can’t you give me what I’m needin’, needin’
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one
[Chorus]
When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worse seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you’ll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay

Traduzione
mi stai dando un milione di motivi per lasciarti andare
mi stai dando un milione di ragioni per interrompere lo show
mi stai dando un milione di ragioni
dammi un milione di ragioni
dando un milione di ragioni
circa un milione di ragioni
se avessi un’autostrada, io attraverserei per le colline
se tu potessi trovare una strada secca, io sarei per sempre ferma
ma mi stai dando un milione di ragioni
dammi un milione di ragioni
dandomi un milione di ragioni
circa un milione di ragioni
io mi inginocchio per pregare
cerco di fare sì che il peggio non sembri poi così male
Dio, mostrami la retta via
per attraversare questa pelle già consumata
ho 100 milioni ragioni per andarmene
ma baby, ne ho bisogno di solo una per rimanere
hey, eh eh eye
Baby sto sanguinando
Stay, eh ehhy
non puoi darmi quello di cui ho bisogno ora, ho bisogno ora
ogni cuore spezzato rende più difficile mantenere la fede
ma baby, ne ho bisogno di solo uno ma che sia buono
che sia buono, che sia buono, che sia buono
io mi inginocchio per pregare
cerco di fare sì che il peggio non sembri poi così male
Dio, mostrami la retta via
per attraversare questa pelle già consumata
ho 100 milioni ragioni per andarmene
ma baby, ne ho bisogno di solo una per rimanere
