Nancy Sinatra, figlia primogenita di Frank Sinatra, è attiva in campo musicale fin dagli anni ’60, periodo in cui ha lasciato il segno con alcuni successi, tra cui These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ e Somethin’ Stupid, nonchè Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down), cover del brano di Sonny & Cher e nota in Italia anche per la versione dell’Equipe 84.
Nonostante sia ancora in attività (!), dalla fine degli anni ’60 la sua stella si è decisamente offuscata.

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
“Remember when we used to play?”

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he’s gone, I don’t know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn’t even say goodbye
He didn’t take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
