There
is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is the special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreaming
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
That looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La la la, la la la, la la la la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La la la, la la la, la la la la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

Due
mani fredde nelle tue
Bianche
colombe dell’addio
Che
giorno triste questo mio
Se
oggi tu ti liberi di me
Di me
che sono tanto fragile
E
senza te mi perderò
Piccolo
uomo non mandarmi via
Io
piccola donna morirei
È
l’ultima occasione per vivere
Vedrai
che non la perderò e no!
È
l’ultima occasione per vivere
Avrò
sbagliato sì lo so
Ma
insieme a te ci riuscirò e sì!
Perciò
ti dico
Piccolo
uomo non mandarmi via
Io
piccola donna morirei
Aria
di pioggia su di noi
E...
tu non mi parli più cos’hai
Certo
se fossi al posto tuo
Io so
gia che cosa mi direi
Da
sola mi farei un rimprovero
E dopo
mi perdonerei
Piccolo
uomo non mandarmi via
Io
piccola donna morirei
È
l’ultima occasione per vivere
Vedrai
che non la perderò
(perché
io posso)
Io
devom io voglio vivere
Insieme
a te ci riuscirò
(e...
io devo farlo)
È
l’ultima occasione per vivere
Vedrai
che non la perderò
(perché
io posso)
Io
devo, io voglio vivere
Ci
riusciremo insieme.
Piccolo
uomo non mandarmi via
Io
piccola donna morirei
Piccolo
uomo non mandarmi via
Io
piccola donna morirei

YEAR: 1964
Downtown is
an albumby Petula Clark(her first album licensed to Warner Brothers Records) following the
success of her single of the same title. The
album's tracks were all produced, arranged and conducted by Tony Hatchand were recorded at the Pye Studios in Marble Archwith the session personnel including drummer Bobby
Graham, guitarist Big Jim Sullivanand the Breakawaysvocal group; the "Downtown" track included guitarists Vic Flickand Jimmy Pagein addition to Sullivan. Most of the album's tracks pre-dated the title cut, with
almost all of the sides Hatch had produced from their inaugural collaboration:
the 1963 single "Let Me Tell You Baby", being included.
Downtown entered
the Billboard 200on 13 February 1965 for a 36 weeks chart run with a #21 peak.
Despite Clark's subsequent album releases being more focused on the hit sound
Hatch had devised for Clark with the "Downtown" single, the Downtown
album would remain Clark's most successful US album release. Downtown did not
rank in the UK album charts which were then limited to the Top Twenty.
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your
cares
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is
over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your
cares
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now, downtown
Downtown
Downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand
you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand
to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
