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
In sogno, 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 e 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
Rendimi l'altra metà
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
E 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, 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
