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 perché mi fa
Vibrare forte l'anima
Vivo per lei e non è un peso

I have loved the same as you
One that I know will never leave me
It doesn't matter what I do
I know this love will never deceive me
It doesn't matter how I go
All the feels I know
Now it's here to make me
Love again

È una musa che ci invita
I know nothing could be sweeter
Attraverso un pianoforte
La morte è lontana
Io vivo per lei

Now with my new love I can cope
With all that hurt and all the sadness
You are the one who gives me hope 
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

I can hear the music playing
Vivo per lei dentro gli hotels
Something deep inside me saying
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
I am in love that is so true
Anche in un domani duro
Wouldn't believe but so do you
Ogni giorno una conquista
La protagonista sarà sempre lei, lei

Vivo per lei perché ormai
Io non ho altra via d'uscita
Perché la musica lo sai
Davvero non l'ho mai tradita

Now when I hear the music play
A voice inside me starts to say
I will always be there when you call
When you need a friend
Vivo per lei la musica
When you need a friend
Vivo per lei è unica
You're someone to live for, oh
Io vivo per lei
Io vivo
Per lei, uh
