About Vivo Per Lei

"Vivo per lei" [ˈviːvo per ˈlɛi] (English: "I Live for Her") is a 1995 song recorded by Italian artist Andrea Bocelli as duet with Giorgia Todrani (under the stage name of "Giorgia" only) for his album Bocelli. The song was also released as a duet with other female artists, including Marta Sánchez in Spain and Spanish America, Hélène Ségara in francophone countries, Judy Weiss in German-speaking countries, Sandy in Brazilian Portuguese and Bonnie Tyler in English under the title "Live for Love", though due to record company disputes their version was never released. The version with Marta Sánchez topped the Spanish singles chart in 1996 under the title Vivo por ella and is available on her album One Step Closer. The version with Ségara was released in December 1997 and became a hit in Belgium (Wallonia) and France where it reached number one on the charts. It was the fifth single from Ségara's first studio album, Cœur de verre. The version with Judy Weiss was also number one in Switzerland in 1997.

Vivo per lei da quando sai 
La prima volta l'ho incontrata
Non mi ricordo come ma 
Mi è entrata dentro e c'è restata 
Vivo per lei perchè mi fa 
Vibrare forte l'anima
Vivo per lei e non è un peso

Vivo per lei anch'io lo sai 
E tu non esserne geloso
Lei è di tutti quelli che 
Hanno un bisogno sempre acceso
Come uno stereo in camera
Di chi è da solo e adesso sa 
Che è anche per lui, per questo 
Io vivo per lei

È una musa che ci invita 
A sfiorarla con le dita
Attraverso un pianoforte 
La morte è lontana
Io vivo per lei 

Vivo per lei che spesso sa 
Essere dolce e sensuale 
A volte picchia in testa ma 
È un puguo che non fa mai male

Vivo per lei, lo so mi fa 
Girare di città in città
Soffrire un po', ma almeno io vivo

È un dolore quando parte
(Vivo per lei dentro gli hotels)
Con piacere estremo cresce
(Vivo per lei nel vortice)
Attraverso la mia voce 
Si espande e amore produce

Vivo per lei, nient'altro ho 
E quanti altri incontrerò 
Che come me hanno scritto in viso
Io vivo per lei
Io vivo per lei 
Sopra un palco o contro un muro 
(Vivo per lei al limite)
Anche in un domani duro 
(Vivo per lei al margine)
Ogni giorno 
Una conquista
La protagonista 
Sarà sempre lei

Vivo per lei perchè oramai 
Io non ho altra via d'uscita
Perchè la musica, lo sai 
Davvero non l'ho mai tradita 

Vivo per lei perchè mi dà 
Pause e note in libertà 
Ci fosse un'altra vita la vivo
La vivo per lei

Vivo per lei la musica
Io vivo per lei
(Vivo per lei è unica)
Io vivo per lei
Io vivo per lei
Io vivo 
Per lei
