I'll remember forever, when I was but three,
Mama, who was clever remarking to me:
"If, son, when you're grown up, you want everything nice,
I've got your future sewn up if you take this advice:
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool, play the calf
And you'll always have the last laugh,
Wear the cap and the bells
And you'll rate with all the great swells,
If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread,
If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead,
You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the 'demoiselles'll all swoon,
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance,
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace,
A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace,
They all'll come to call if you can fall on your face.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly ass
And you'll always travel first class,
Give 'em quips, give 'em fun,
And they'll pay to say you're A-1,
If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck,
If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luck
But jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Judy Garland, pseudonimo di Frances Ethel Gumm (Grand Rapids, 10 giugno 1922 – Londra, 22 giugno 1969), è stata una delle più grandi icone del cinema e della musica americana. Iniziò la sua carriera nel mondo dello spettacolo da bambina, esibendosi in vaudeville con i genitori e le sorelle. Nel 1937 firmò un contratto con la MGM, dove ottenne il suo primo grande successo con il film "The Wizard of Oz" (Il mago di Oz) del 1939, nel quale interpretò il ruolo di Dorothy Gale. La sua interpretazione di "Over the Rainbow" divenne un classico intramontabile e le valse un'Oscar onorario nel 1940. Garland continuò a recitare in numerosi film musicali di successo durante gli anni '40 e '50, tra cui "Meet Me in St. Louis" (Incontriamoci a St. Louis) e "A Star Is Born" (Una stella nasce). La sua voce potente e il suo talento per la recitazione le permisero di conquistare un pubblico internazionale. Nonostante una carriera brillante, Garland lottò contro dipendenze e problemi personali che segnarono profondamente la sua vita. Morì a soli 47 anni a Londra, lasciando un'eredità musicale e cinematografica indimenticabile.

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
