About Con Te Partiro

"Con te partirò" (Italian: [kon ˈte partiˈrɔ]; "With you I shall leave") is an Italian song written by Francesco Sartori (music) and Lucio Quarantotto (lyrics). It was first performed by Andrea Bocelli at the 1995 Sanremo Music Festival and recorded on his album of the same year, Bocelli. The single was first released as an A-side single with "Vivere" in 1995, topping the charts, first in France, where it became one of the best-selling singles of all-time, and then in Belgium, breaking the all-time record sales there. A second version of the song, sung partly in English, released in 1996 as "Time to Say Goodbye", paired Bocelli with British soprano Sarah Brightman, and achieved even greater success, topping charts all across Europe, including Germany, where it became the biggest-selling single in history. Brightman and Bocelli produced a version with Brightman singing in German and Bocelli in Italian, with this version being available on the CD Time to Say Goodbye. That version alone has now sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. Bocelli also recorded a full Spanish version of the song, titled "Por ti volaré" ("For You I Will Fly"). Under all three versions, the song is considered Bocelli's signature song.

Quando sono solo sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c'luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso chiudi, dentro me
La luce che hai incontrato per strada

Con te partirò, paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sui li vivrò
Con te partirò, su navi per mari
Che io lo so no, no, non esistono piu
Con te io li vivrò

Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io solo so che sei con me, con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me, con me, con me

Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso so li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivo
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono pio
Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò

Io con te!
