Con te partirò [English translation]

When I am alone

I dream at the horizon

and the words are missing.

Yes, I know that there is no light

in a room when the sun is missing

if you are not there with me, with me.

On the windows

show everyone my heart

that you lit up.

Enclose inside me

the light that

you met on the street.

With you, I'll set off.1

Lands that I have never

seen and lived with you

now, yes, I shall live them.

With you, I'll set off

on ships over seas

that, I know it,

no, no, they do not exist anymore.

With you, I shall live them.

When you are distant

I dream at the horizon

and the words are missing.

And I, yes, I know

that you are with me, with me.

You, my moon, you are here with me.

My sun, you are here with me,

with me, with me, with me.

With you, I'll set off.

Lands that I have never

seen and lived with you

now, yes, I shall live them.

With you, I'll set off

on ships over seas

that, I know it,

no, no, they do not exist anymore.

With you, I shall relive them.

With you, I'll set off

on ships over seas

that, I know it,

no, no, they do not exist anymore.

With you, I shall relive them.

With you, I'll set off,

I, with you.

1. I’m still undecided if “With you, I’ll depart” is a better choice of wording. It’s the connection to the “dearly departed” phrase that I would like to avoid.
