I already hear her
I already hear her die
Yet she's calm, she seems to want to sleep
Then with her eyes
She comes to look for me
Then she strips
Even the last veil
Even the last sky
Even the last kiss
Maybe it's my fault
Maybe it's your fault
And so I was left thinking
But life
But what's life
Everything or nothing
Maybe not even a why
With her hands
She comes to look for me
Then she holds me tight
Slowly she lets me go
Slowly she holds me tight
Slowly she looks for me
Maybe it's my fault
Maybe it's your fault
And so I was left watching
And they call it love
And they call it love
And they call it love
It's a thorn in the heart
That doesn't hurt
It's a desert
These people
With the sand
Deep down in the heart
And you
Who don't hear me anymore
Who don't see me anymore
If I only had the courage
And the strength to tell you
That I'm with you
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Maybe it's my fault
Maybe it's my fault
And so I stayed like that
I stayed like that
I already hear her
Who can't hear anymore
In silence
She went off to sleep
She's already gone to sleep

SONG MEANING

Romanza takes you on a moonlit walk through the highs and lows of passion. Andrea Bocelli sings from the edge of a love that is slipping away; every tender touch is followed by a slow release, every stolen kiss is tinged with doubt. He wonders whose fault the unraveling might be, yet keeps reaching for the warmth of the other person. The repeated question “Ma la vita cos’è?” (“But what is life?”) turns the song into more than a breakup ballad—it becomes a search for meaning itself.

When Bocelli cries “E lo chiamano amor” (“And they call it love”), he paints love as both a thorn in the heart and an endless desert where people carry sand inside their chests. The song moves from intimate whispers to a whispered prayer, Ave Maria, showing how longing can lead us to hope for something larger than ourselves. In just a few minutes, Romanza sweeps listeners through yearning, resignation, and quiet devotion, capturing the bittersweet flavor of love that is as unforgettable as it is unpredictable.
