About the song
“Annie’s Song” is a beautiful and emotional ballad written and performed by the legendary American singer-songwriter John Denver. Released in 1974 as the lead single from his album “Back Home Again,” this song quickly became a massive hit, reaching number one on the US charts and staying there for two weeks. It also topped the Easy Listening chart and was ranked as the 25th best song of the year by Billboard.
The song is a heartfelt ode to Denver’s wife, Annie Martell Denver, and was inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Colorado mountains. Denver wrote the song in just ten-and-a-half minutes while skiing down a difficult slope, and it quickly became a fan favorite. The song’s melody is both soothing and uplifting, capturing the essence of love and the beauty of nature.
“Annie’s Song” has been praised by critics for its emotional depth and romantic charm. Allmusic’s Shawn M. Haney called it an “ever so romantic tearjerker” and one of Denver’s finest achievements. Billboard described it as a “fine love song,” while Record World praised its “continental flair” and predicted that it would be a hit.
In addition to its success in the United States, “Annie’s Song” also reached number one in the United Kingdom, where it remains one of Denver’s most beloved songs. Four years after its initial release, an instrumental version of the song became a hit for flautist James Galway, further cementing its place in the hearts of music lovers around the world.

Lyrics
Tal vez en una sola frase pueda resumirlesLo que se siente estando aquíMil gracias, mil graciasFue un momento serenoDesprendido del tiempoTu mirada de fuegoEncendida en mi malMe estabas frenandoPor dentro y por fueraY tu primaveraMe hacía temblarFue en un cielo lejanoUna tierra calienteUn soplo de vientoUna lluvia de abrilUn nuevo vestidoQue envuelve y que besaQue acaricia y no pesaY te deja fingirMedianoche en mi menteDesde todos los siglosMediodía en tu almaQue brindaba calorY una casa infinitaY un pedazo de gloriaAsí fue nuestra historiaAsí fue nuestro amorY una música blancaQue volaba en la arenaY un volcán en las venasDe placer y dolorY una casa infinitaY un pedazo de gloriaAsí fue nuestra historiaAsí fue nuestro amorDịch sang Tiếng Việt
