About Con Te Partirò

"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 
E sogno all'orizzonte 
E mancan le parole
Sì lo so che non c'è 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 si li vivrò
Con te partirò 
Su navi per mari 
Che, io lo so 
No, no, non esistono più 
Con te io li vivrò 

Quando sei lontana 
Sogno all'orizzonte 
E mancan le parole 
E io sì lo 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 sì li vivrò 
Con te partirò 
Su navi per mari 
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più 
Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò 
Su navi per mari 
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più 
Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò
Io con te
