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

I don't need money, I don't need gold,

your sweet kiss is wealth untold.

there is sunshine in your eyes.

nothing more can matter, dear.

Oh, all I need is you.

When I'm lost in your embrace,

the world becomes a magic place.

When you hold me, church bells ring,

when I kiss you, angels sing.

Can't you see I love you so,

say you'll never let me go.

Oh, all I need is you.

Oh darling please believe me,

my love is not a lie,

for if you ever leave me,

What's the sky without the moon above,

what am I without your love.

Oh, all I need is you.

DOWNTOWN

PETULA CLARK

SONGWRITER: TONY HATCH

COUNTRY: U S A

ALBUM: LOST IN YOU/LP

LABEL: UNIVERSAL MUSIC

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 1964

Downtown is an album by 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 Hatch and were recorded at the Pye Studios in Marble Arch with the session personnel including drummer Bobby Graham, guitarist Big Jim Sullivan and the Breakaways vocal group; the "Downtown" track included guitarists Vic Flick and Jimmy Page in 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 200 on 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

So go downtown

Things will be great when you're downtown

Don't wait a minute more, downtown

Everything is waiting for you, downtown

Downtown (downtown)

Downtown (downtown)

Downtown (downtown)

Downtown (downtown)

I've been out on that open road

You can be my full time, daddy

White and gold

Singing blues has been getting old

You can be my full time, baby

Hot or cold

Don't break me down

I've been traveling too long

I've been trying too hard

With one pretty song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

So, I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard

That's the way my father made his life an art

Drink all day and we talk 'til dark

That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark

Don't leave me now

Don't say goodbye

Don't turn around

Leave me high and dry

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm f*cking crazy

I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes

It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby

So I just ride, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride
