To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
(1)To be better far than you are(1)
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
(2)To be willing to give when there's no more to give (2)
(3)To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live (3)
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
[Notes:]
The Broadway cast's version is quite similar with a few exceptions:
(1)To love pure and chaste from afar
(2)To fight for the right without question or pause
(3)To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
Francis Albert Sinatra, noto semplicemente come Frank Sinatra, è stato uno dei più grandi interpreti della musica americana del XX secolo. Nato a Hoboken, New Jersey, nel 1915, Sinatra ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '30 con il gruppo di Harry James e successivamente con quello di Tommy Dorsey. Nel 1942 ha debuttato come solista con un contratto discografico con Columbia Records. La sua voce calda, potente e versatile, insieme al suo carisma magnetico, lo hanno reso uno dei cantanti più amati del mondo. Sinatra ha interpretato una vasta gamma di generi musicali, dal jazz al pop, passando per il swing e la musica leggera. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "My Way", "Fly Me to the Moon", "New York, New York" e "Strangers in the Night". Oltre alla musica, Sinatra ha recitato in numerosi film, ottenendo anche un premio Oscar nel 1954 per il suo ruolo in "From Here to Eternity".
