About Ti Amo

"Ti amo" (pronounced [ti ˈaːmo]; Italian for "I love you") is a 1977 song recorded by Italian singer Umberto Tozzi from the album È nell'aria...ti amo. It achieved success at the time, becoming a hit in many European countries, including Sweden and Switzerland where it topped the charts. A Spanish version was released as "Te Amo", and had a good success in Spain and Latin America. Within the German-speaking countries a German version by Howard Carpendale also received a great success in 1977, peaking at number two in Germany and number ten in Austria. In 2002, the song was overdubbed as duet with singer Lena Ka under the title "Ti amo (rien que des mots)", with Italian and French lyrics. This version was a success in France and Belgium (Wallonia), reaching the top three. At the time, the original version was re-released and achieved a moderate success in France. As of August 2014, it is the 52nd best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 393,000 units sold. A French version of this song was recorded by Dalida in 1977. An English version was also recorded by Laura Branigan in 1984, which, most notably, was a hit in Australia (reaching #2). It should not be confused with the Gina G song of the same name from 1997. In 2011, Sergio Dalma took a Spanish-language version of the song to the Top 10 in Spain.

'Ti amo', du sagtest, 'Ti amo'
Das heißt, „ich lieb' dich so“
Was ist geblieben von deinem mich lieben?
Von hundert Mal 'Ti amo', sagtest du das nur so?
Weil es dazu gehört, Worte sind billig
Sind manchmal so billig

Man redet sich selber ein, alles das muss so sein
Hast das auch du getan?
Sinnliche Spiele und falsche Gefühle
Und nun willst du wieder ein neues Ziel finden 
Willst dich nicht mehr an mich binden 
Stehst da, gepackt ist dein Koffer
Was gewesen, ist gewesen

Dein 'Ti amo', dein schönes 'Ti amo'
War nur Begleitmusik
Für Sommertage, mehr kam nicht in Frage
Und ich hab' geglaubt, das mit uns geht so weiter (ti amo)
Jetzt bin ich leider gescheitert (ti amo, ti amo)
Aber ich kann nicht bestreiten (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)
Dass es schön war, wo's so schön war (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)

So geh den Weg, du hast ihn selbst gewählt
Wenn dich hier nichts mehr hält
Ich werde leben, auch ohne dich leben
Und werden die Tage für mich noch so schwer sein (ti amo, ti amo)
Werden die Nächte auch leer sein (ti amo, ti amo)
Irgendwann werd' ich vergessen
Dass es schön war, wo's so schön war
Du willst es so, ich weiß du willst es so
Wann sagst du anderswo
Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo

Du willst ein neues Ziel finden (ti amo)
Willst dich nicht mehr an mich binden (ti amo, ti amo)
Stehst da, gepackt ist dein Koffer (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)
Was gewesen, ist gewesen

Geh den Weg, du hast ihn selbst gewählt (ti amo)
Wenn dich hier nichts mehr hält (ti amo, ti amo)
Ich werde leben, auch ohne dich leben (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)

Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo
Ti amo
