“I’m running down the road
trying to loosen my load”
“I’ve got seven women on
my mind”
“Four that want to own me
...”
“... two that want to stone
me ...”
“... one says she’s a friend
of mine”
“Don’t let the sound
of your own wheels
drive you crazy”
“Lighten up, while you still
can”
“don’t even try to
understand”
“just find a place to make
your stand ...”
“... and take it easy”
il suono
delle tue:
una mia
amica
possedere
to run down the road
to try
my load
to own
to stone
a friend of mine
the sound of your wheels
drive you crazy
find a place
to make your stand
il mio
carico,
peso

Winslow, Arizona
a flat-bed Ford
potremmo
vincere e
potremmo
perdere
devo
sapere se
sto
montando
a bordo
mi salverà
rallentando
my Lord
slowing down
to have a look at me
maybe
I’ve got to know if
your sweet love
is going to save me
we may lose and we may win
we will never be here again
a fine sight to see
open up
darmi
I’m climbing in
un’occhiata
non
saremo
mai più qui

“I’m standing on a corner in
Winslow, Arizona”
“and such a fine sight
to see”
“it’s a girl, My Lord, in a flat-bed
Ford”
“slowing down to have
a look at me”
“Come on, baby
don’t say maybe
I’ve got to know if your
sweet love
is going to save me”
“We may lose and we may
win,
but we will never be here
again,
open up, I’m climbing in,
but take it easy”.
Take it easy is
a song by the
American
singersongwriter
Jackson
Browne.
It is taken from
Browne’s second
album, “For
everyman” (1973),
but he wrote it one
year earlier; the
Eagles were the
first to record this
song (in their first
album, in 1972) and
to perform it live.
Jackson Browne wrote the music and most of the
lyrics. Eagles’ Glenn Frey completed the lyrics,
writing part of the second and the whole third
verse.
The Eagles made
this song famous.
Clyde Jackson Browne
(born October 9, 1948)
is a singer-songwriter
and musician who has
sold over 18 million
albums in the United
States. Coming to
prominence in the 1970s,
Browne has written and
recorded many beautiful
songs. In 2004, he was
inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.
Abbey San Encino was built by Jackson
Browne’s grandfather. It is a true
architectural wonder and was declared
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural
Monument on November 15, 1972.
Browne was born in
Heidelberg (Germany),
where his father, Clyde
Jack Browne, an American
serviceman, was stationed
for his job assignment
with the Stars and Stripes
newspaper. Browne's
mother, Beatrice Amanda,
was a Minnesota native of
Norwegian ancestry.
Browne moved to the
Highland Park district of
Los Angeles, at the age of
three, to his
grandfather's house,
Abbey San Encino (you can
see this house on the
cover of For Everyman).
