I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
Or the name I am calling
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

Linda Maria Ronstadt (Tucson, 15 luglio 1946) è una cantante, compositrice e attrice statunitense. Considerata una delle più grandi voci del XX secolo, ha venduto oltre 100 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60 con un gruppo folk-rock chiamato The Stone Poneys, ottenendo successo con brani come "Different Drum". Nel corso degli anni '70 e '80 si affermò come artista solista, esplorando generi musicali diversi come il country, il pop, l'opera e il mariachi. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Heart Like a Wheel", "Living in the USA" e "Canciones de Mi Padre". Ronstadt ha vinto dieci Grammy Awards e un Emmy Award per la sua carriera musicale e teatrale. Nel 2013 è stata colpita da una malattia neurodegenerativa che l'ha costretta a ritirarsi dalle scene.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
