I miss you
When the sun reaches out to the horizon
When the dark turns off the noise
Of people
The weariness on me that won't leave anymore
Like the shadow of something still mine
I miss you
In your looks and in that slightly reckless smile
In the excuses of your maybes
You're that lump in my throat that won't go down
And you, and you
I miss you, I miss you
I can pretend I'm fine but I miss you
Now I get what it means
To have you beside me before sleeping
While I walk barefoot
Inside my soul
I miss you and I could
Find another woman but I'd fool myself
You're my endless remorse
The cold of my mornings
When I look around and feel I miss you
Now that I can give you a bit more
And you, and you
I miss you and I could
To have another woman but I'd fool myself
You're my endless remorse
The cold of my mornings
When I look around and feel that
I miss you

SONG MEANING

"Mi Manchi" is Andrea Bocelli’s heartfelt confession of how painfully empty life feels when a loved one is missing. Each line paints vivid snapshots: the quiet after sunset, the weight of tiredness that just will not lift, the lump in the throat that refuses to disappear. Bocelli admits he could pretend to be fine or even find someone new, yet he knows that would only fool himself. The haunting sax of Kenny G amplifies this sense of longing, wrapping the listener in a melancholic, almost cinematic atmosphere.

At its core, the song is a tender reminder that true love leaves an indelible mark. Everyday moments—waking up to cold mornings, walking barefoot through one’s own thoughts—become echoes of the person who is no longer there. “Mi manchi” means “I miss you,” and Bocelli repeats it like a mantra, showing how absence can be just as powerful as presence. The result is a moving ode to regret, remembrance, and the undeniable pull of a bond that time and distance cannot erase.
