[1st verse:]
Your smiling face is an open book, young man
We know that look, young man
You must be oh, so happy
It's just a case of love that took, young man
There are quite a few who envy you
[1st refrain:]
Lucky boy, she's a beautiful thing
Lucky boy, will you give her a ring
Lucky boy, we suppose in the Spring
You will take your pride and joy
On a train and her leather suitcase
Will contain bits of satin and lace
It's as plain as the nose on your face
How we envy you, lucky boy
[2nd verse:]
I must confess that you pave the way for me
You really say for me
The things I want to tell you
You'll never guess what a lucky day for me
When I found that she had chosen me
[2nd refrain:]
Lucky boy, she's a beautiful thing
Lucky boy, I'm as proud as a king
Lucky boy, when I give her the ring
Can't you see me jump with joy
With a cheer and a "whatta we care"
We'll appear in a bungalow where
In a year, maybe three of us there
How we envy you, lucky boy
Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
