E Più Ti Penso Lyrics in English by Andrea Bocelli, Ariana Grande
Sconsolato means 'inconsolable' or 'disconsolate'. It's a beautiful, expressive word that goes beyond just being 'sad' (triste), describing a profound sorrow that cannot be comforted.
In this powerful ballad, Andrea Bocelli sings "Sono triste e sconsolato" (I am sad and inconsolable). He uses this word to paint a picture of utter despair without his loved one, capturing the dramatic, heart-wrenching emotion that makes this song so moving.
Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli teams up with pop superstar Ariana Grande for "E Più Ti Penso", and the whole track is an absolute masterclass in romantic melodrama. The lyrics drop you straight into late-night heartache: the singer lies in bed at night, hugging their pillow (stringo il cuscino) and pretending their lover is right beside them (sei qui vicino). As the hours tick on in the deep dark (è notte fonda), reality sets in. The core message repeats like an obsessive thought: E più ti penso, e più mi manchi ("And the more I think of you, the more I miss you").
Things get delightfully dramatic as the song builds. The lyrics say that without this person, the sun is completely gone (il sole più non c'è) and life feels empty. To describe that helplessness, they use a vivid image: Mi sento un pesce che non ha l'acqua per nuotare ("I feel like a fish that has no water to swim in"). It is completely over the top, especially when they declare that if they can never see their love again, they simply will not survive (non vivrei) and will die (morirei). If you have ever missed someone so badly that hugging your bedding seemed like a valid coping mechanism, this dramatic duet is your anthem.
