(Oh, my liberty Belle, my pretty little belle)
(You kissed me once and you knew darned well)
(Oh, you knew darned well, my liberty belle)
(I'd love nobody but you)
There's pretty girls in Singapore and the Philippines
All along Killarney shore, oh, the fair colleens
There's sweet Fifi from gay Paree and Wilhelmina, too
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
When stars are like a string of pearls 'round a blue lagoon
How the Bali Bali girls dance beneath the moon
Now while they dance I'll take a chance and steal a glance or two
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
BRIDGE:
I'll march, march, march the whole world over (over)
I'll sail, sail, sail the ocean blue (sail the ocean blue)
They've made my blinkin' heart a rover (a rover)
But it's never hardly ever away from you
Of all the girls in Singapore and the Philippines
You're girl that I adore, kiss in all my dreams
I'll hold you soon beneath the moon, till then sweetheart be true
'cause Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
(Belle, Belle, Belle)
Of all the girls in Singapore and the Philippines
You're girl that I adore, kiss in all my dreams
I'll hold you soon beneath the moon, till then, sweetheart be true
'cause Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
Oh, my liberty Belle, my pretty little belle
You kissed me once and you knew darned well
Oh, you knew darned well, my liberty belle
I'd love nobody but you
I love nobody but you
Guy Mitchell, pseudonimo di Albert George Cernik (1917-2008), è stato un cantante, showman e attore statunitense di grande popolarità negli anni '50 e '60. Nato a New York da genitori cechi immigrati, iniziò la sua carriera come cantante in locali di vaudeville prima di entrare nel mondo della musica leggera. Il suo successo arrivò con il brano «Heartaches by the Number» (1957), che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche americane e lo consacrò come uno dei cantanti più amati del decennio. Mitchell era noto per la sua voce calda e melodiosa, le performance energiche e l'abilità di interpretare canzoni d'amore, ballad e brani up-tempo con uguale successo. Tra i suoi successi più noti figurano anche «My Heart Sings», «The Last Time I Saw Paris» e «Singing the Blues». Oltre alla musica, Mitchell ha recitato in diversi film e programmi televisivi, consolidando il suo status di artista poliedrico. La sua carriera si è protratta per oltre quarant'anni, lasciando un segno indelebile nella storia della musica americana.

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
