A cavallo tra gli anni ’60 e gli anni ’70 si fa avanti nel panorama internazionale una voce unica nel suo genere, parlo di quella di Dionne Warwick, della quale vi propongo il brano I’ll Never Fall in Love Again (1969), composto da Burt Bacharach con testo di Hal David per il musical del 1968 Promises, Promises.
Altre versioni famose di questa canzone sono quelle di Chet Atkins (1969), Ella Fitzgerald (1969), Shirley Bassey (1969), Emmylou Harris (1969), The Carpenters (1970), Bing Crosby (1975), Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach (1999), Ornella Vanoni (in italiano con il titolo Non mi innamoro più, nell’album Sogni proibiti, 2002) e Ronan Keating (2011). Johnny Dorelli e Catherine Spaak in italiano.
#dionnewarwick #illneverfallinloveagain #1969
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That’s what you get for all your trouble
I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he’ll never phone ya
I’ll never fall in love again
Dontcha know that I’ll never fall in love again?
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
No, no, I’ll never fall in love again
That is why I’m here to remind you
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
Dontcha know that I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
