| Song | The Great Valerio |
| Artist | Richard & Linda Thompson |
| Album | I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight |
| 作曲 : Thompson | |
| High up above the crowd | |
| The great Valerio is walking | |
| The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud | |
| And time stands still while he is walking | |
| His eye is steady on the target | |
| His foot is sure upon the rope. | |
| Alone and peaceful as a mountain | |
| And certain as the mountain slope | |
| We falter at the sight | |
| We stumble in the mire | |
| Fools who think they see the light | |
| Prepare to balance on the wire | |
| But we learn to watch together | |
| And feed on what we see above | |
| Until our heart turn like the seaons | |
| And we are acrobats of love | |
| How we wonder, how we wonder | |
| Watching far below | |
| We would all be that great hero, | |
| The great Valerio | |
| Come all you upstart jugglers | |
| Are you really ready yet? | |
| Who will help the tightrope walker, | |
| When he tumbles to the net? | |
| So come with me to see Valerio | |
| As he dances through the air | |
| I'm your friend until you use me | |
| And then be sure I won't be there. | |
| How we wonder, how we wonder | |
| Watching far below | |
| We would all be that great hero, | |
| The great Valerio |
