Lamento,
la pluie martèle mes carreaux
et vient mêler ses gouttes d’eau
aux larmes de ma solitude.
Lamento,
le vent soupire dans la nuit,
il doit deviner que je suis
anéanti de lassitude.

“(Is This The Way To) Amarillo” is a song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. It is about a man traveling to Amarillo, Texas, to find his girlfriend Marie. The reason that Amarillo was chosen for the song was because it was the only place name that Sedaka could think of that rhymed with “willow” and “pillow”. The song was originally to be titled “Is This the Way to Pensacola” referring to Pensacola, Florida, but Sedaka felt that Amarillo worked better than Pensacola.
