Sunday Song – San Valentino – St Valentine -

 

      

This weeks Sunday Song selection is as normal linking up with my blogging friend Natasha from Five Minutes Just For Me. This week she is hosting a special Valentines Day Post, so I am joining in with this selection of Romantic Italian Songs.

I have not included any biographical details of the artists today, just some photographs, as I will feature them individually here in the near future if I have not already done so previously.

My choices for Romantic Italian Songs for this San Valentino Edition of Sunday Song are sung for us today by Umberto Tozzi, Andrea Bocelli with Giorgia, Luciano Ligabue and Laura Pausini something for everyone I hope, whatever your taste in music. It was extremely difficult to decide which songs to include here today as I consider that the majority of songs sung in Italian sound romantic. It is after all the language of love.

Lyrics for Ti Amo in Italian then English from metrolyrics                             

Ti amo, un soldo
Ti amo, in aria
Ti amo se viene testa
vuol dire che basta:
lasciamoci.
Ti amo, io sono
Ti amo, in fondo un uomo
che non ha freddo nel cuore,
nel letto comando io.
Ma tremo
davanti al tuo seno,
ti odio e ti amo,
e' una farfalla che muore
sbattendo le ali.
L'amore che a letto si fa
prendimi l'altra meta'
oggi ritorno da lei
primo Maggio,su coraggio!
Io ti amo
e chiedo perdono
ricordi chi sono
apri la porta
a un guerriero di carta igienica.
Dammi il tuo vino leggero
che hai fatto quando non c'ero
e le lenzuola di lino
dammi il sonno di un bambino
Che "ta" sogna cavalli e si gira
e un po' di lavoro
fammi abbracciare una donna
che stira cantando.
E poi fatti un po' prendere in giro
prima di fare l'amore
vesti la rabbia di pace
e sottane sulla luce.
Io ti amo e chiedo perdono
ricordi chi sono
ti amo, ti amo,ti amo
ti amo ti amo
dammi il tuo vino leggero...
che hai fatto quando non c'ero
e le lenzuola di lino
dammi il sonno di un bambino
Che "ta" sogna cavalli e si gira
e un po' di lavoro
fammi abbracciare una donna
che stira cantando.
E poi fatti un po' prendere
in giro
prima di fare l'amore
vesti la rabbia di pace
e sottane sulla luce.
io ti amo,
ti amo, ti amo
ti amo, ti amo ...

Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone
Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
You did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, I never had a clue that I was losing you
You never once let me know you were letting me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end
Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, God how I love you so


My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone
Guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end
Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
You did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone ...

Andrea Bocelli and Giorgia – Lo Vivo Per Lei – I Live For Her

Courtesy of ArcanaIntellego

Lyrics for Lo Vivo Per Lei in Italian then English from justsomelyrics I should point out that Giorgia is also singing in German, no translation for those parts.

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 perché 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
atraverso 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 una
è un pugno 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 ad 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 perché oramai
io non ho altra via d'uscita
perché la musica lo sai
da vero non l'ho mai tradita
Vivo per lei perché mi da
pausa 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

I live for her, you know
the first time I met her
I do not remember how, but
I came in and stayed there
I live for her because she makes
soul vibrate so strongly
live for her and not a burden
I live for her too, you know
and do not be jealous
she belongs to all those who
have a need always on
as a stereo in the bedroom
to someone who is alone and now knows
which is also for him, for this
I live for her
She is a muse who invites us
to brush with your fingers
Through a piano
death is far away
I live for her
I live for her who often knows
be sweet and sensual
sometimes she stuns a
is a blow that never hurts
I live for her, I know I am
travel from town to town
suffer a bit 'but at least I live
It is painful when she leaves
I live in hotels for her
Grows with supreme pleasure
I live for her in the vortex
Through my voice
expands and produces love
I live for you I have nothing else
and others who meet
like me who have written on their faces
I live for her
I live for her
on a dais or against a wall
I live for her to the limit
even in a harsh tomorrow
I live for you on the edge
Every day a conquest;
the protagonist will always be her
I live for her because now
I have no other way out
because the music you know
to be true I never betrayed
I live for her because she gives me
pause and notes with freedom
If there were another life I'd live
I live for her
I live for her music
I live for her
I live for you is unique
I live for her

Laura Pausini – Ascolta Il Tuo Cuore – Listen To Your Heart

Lyrics for Ascolta Il Tuo Cuore in Italian then English from lyricstranslate

Ehi adesso come stai?
Tradita da una storia finita
E di fronte a te l'ennesima salita.
Un po' ti senti sola,
Nessuno che ti possa ascoltare,
Che divida con te i tuoi guai,
Mai! tu non molare mai!
Rimani come sei,
Insegui il tuo destino,
Perch tutto il dolore che hai dentro
Non potrai mai cancellare il tuo cammino
E allora scoprirai
Che la storia di ogni nostro minuto
Appartiene soltanto a noi.
Ma se ancora resterai,
Persa senza una ragione
In un mare di perch

Dentro te ascolta il tuo cuore
E nel silenzio troverai le parole.
Chiudi gli occhi e poi tu lasciati andare,
Prova a arrivare dentro il pianeta del cuore

difficile capire
Qual la cosa giusta da fare
Se ti batte nella testa un'emozione.
L'orgoglio che ti piglia,
Le notti in cui il rimorso ti sveglia
Per la paura di sbagliare,
Ma se ti ritroverai
Senza stelle da seguire
Tu non rinunciare mai

Credi in te! Ascolta il tuo cuore!
Fai quel che dice anche se fa soffrire.
Chiudi gli occhi e poi tu lasciati andare,
Prova a volare oltre questo dolore.

Non ti ingannerai
Se ascolti il tuo cuore,
Apri le braccia fino quasi a toccare
Ogni mano, ogni speranza, ogni sogno che vuoi
Perch poi ti porter fino al cuore di ognuno di noi.

Ogni volta, che non sai cosa fare,
Prova a volare, dentro il pianeta del cuore.

Tu tu prova a volare
Do do do dov' il pianeta del cuore.

Tu tu tu dentro il pianeta del cuore

Hey, how are you now?
Betrayed by a story that has ended
and in front of you the way out
you feel alone a little bit
there is no one to listen to you
that shares your problems with you
never! dont let it go ever
stay as you are
follow your destiny
because all the pain that you have inside
can never cancel your way
and now you'll discover
that the story of our every minute
belongs only to us
but if you still remain
lost without a reason
in a sea of 'why'

listen to your heart inside of you
and in the silence you'll find the words
close the eyes and then go away
try to come to the planet of your heart

it's difficult to understand
what is the right thing to do
if the emotion hits you in the head
the pride that takes you
the nights in which remorse wakes you up
for the fear of making an error
but if you find yourself
without a star to follow
dont ever give up

Believe in yourself! Listen to your heart!
do what it says, even if it makes you suffer
close the eyes, and let yourself go
try to fly over this pain

You wont deceive yourself
if you listen to your heart
open your arms to touch
every hand, every hope, every dream that you want
because later it will take you to every heart

everytime, when you dont know what to do
try to fly, to the plant of the heart

you, you, try to fly
to the planet of your heart

you, you, you to the plant of the heart

  8. Hope you have been enjoying your stay in Australia. It must be nice to be in the warm sun.
    I have been back to your site a couple of times to listen to the music. I expecially like the first two. I only have one tape of Bocelli's and I have about worn it out - time to upgrade to a CD. Your first song cuts straight to the heart - so sad but beautiful, and the video is very pleasing to watch.
