WHEN THE WORLD IS COMING DOWN ON YOU
AND YOUR BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL,
CHANGE THE GLASS THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH,
IT'S REALLY HALF FULL AFTER ALL.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, (giving up)
IF YOU FEEL YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH,
LET IT GO,
DON'T YOU KNOW
YOU CAN COME AND KICK THE BOTTOM OUT, (bottom out)
STOMP YOUR FEET, SCREAM AND SHOUT, LET IT GO, LET IT GO.
IT'S BEVER QUITE AS BAD AS YOU THINK IT IS,
'CAUSE EV'RY BAD DAY TURNS AROUND. (round, round, round)
FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU DID,
THE VERTICAL MAN DON'T LAY DOWN. (down, down, down, down, down)
IF YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, (giving up)
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH,
LET IT GO,
DON'T YOU KNOW
COME ON - KICK THE BOTTOM OUT, (bottom out)
STOMP YOUR FEET, SCREAM AND SHOUT, LET IT GO, LET IT GO.
AND WHEN THE SUN COMES SHINING THROUGH FOR YOU,
YOU'LL DISCOVER EVEN RAINBOWS HAVE THE BLUES.
YES, I KNOW, IT'S NOT NEWS TO YOU,
AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU?
IF YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP,
DON'T YOU KNOW, LIFE IS TOUGH
LET IT GO, DON'T YOU KNOW?
COME ON, KICK THE BOTTOM OUT,
SCREAM AND SHOUT, LET IT GO, LET IT GO.
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, (giving up)
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH,
LET IT GO, LET IT GO.
OO-OO, LET IT GO,
OO-OO, LET IT GO,
KICK THE BOTTOM OUT, SCREAM AND SHOUT.

Sir Ringo Starr, nato Richard Starkey il 7 luglio 1940 a Liverpool, Inghilterra, è un leggendario musicista britannico noto soprattutto per essere stato il batterista dei Beatles. La sua carriera musicale inizia nei primi anni '60 con i Quarrymen, gruppo precursore dei Beatles. Con l'arrivo di Paul McCartney e George Harrison, Ringo si afferma come componente fondamentale della band, contribuendo con la sua energia contagiosa e un sound ritmico unico. Oltre a batterista, Ringo ha anche cantato diversi brani per i Beatles, tra cui "Yellow Submarine", "With a Little Help from My Friends" e "Octopus's Garden". Dopo lo scioglimento dei Beatles nel 1970, Ringo ha intrapreso una carriera da solista di successo, pubblicando numerosi album e collaborando con artisti come George Harrison, Paul McCartney e Harry Nilsson. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Ringo Starr è stato insignito del titolo di Sir dal Queen Elizabeth II nel 1981 per i suoi contributi alla musica britannica. Oltre alla musica, Ringo ha anche recitato in diversi film e si dedica alla pittura.

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
