“Per Dirti Ciao!” from the album L’amore è Una Cosa Semplice
I love this song so much, even if it is a little dramatic. But then again, losing your soulmate is one of the most dramatic things that can happen to a person.
English translation of “Per Dirti Ciao!”:
“To Tell You Goodbye”
Maybe one day we’ll have a place
Hidden or far away from the many hospital wards*
In which we lay to rest the loves, by then in disuse
Those not historical, of which no one will speak
And if you want to, your smile shows itself in a star
For tonight even that would be fine
And happiness won’t be needed anymore
Not even imagination anymore
I’ll be happy with the times gone by
A tear will blow in the wind and return to you
To tell you goodbye, goodbye
My little memory in which I’ve kept years of happiness, goodbye
And watch me face this life as if you’re still here
Maybe one day the universe will honor my request
And bring us back together
Between the afterlife and my nest in this town there’s a lot of difference
Even if I try not to see it
And I travel the world, and I’ll call your name for millennia
And you’ll show yourself when I don’t want it anymore
And not now, here on this bed in which I sadly realize
Your scent is slowly fading
A tear will blow in the wind and return to you
To tell you goodbye, goodbye
My little memory in which I’ve kept years of happiness, goodbye
And proudly watch the one who suffers through impossible wars
And without peace in my chest I know that I can’t do it all
But if you’d return I would do it all and that’s that
And I watch this door intently, because if you came in another time
It’d mean that I’m already dead as well
And I’d go back to you and tell you hey, hey
My little miracle descended from heaven to love me, hey
And the memories collapse, the whole universe collapses
And there, you remain
Life like you remember it
One day I’ll go away with you
* The word Tiziano used is “astanterie”, which is not really a hospital ward but an area of the hospital where patients wait before being moved to a department. In an interview he said it’s like a “middle zone” for people who suffer. And it seemed perfect for the song, because he speaks of love that does not go down in history, but love that is still significant. Loves that are there, in the middle.
