Time To Say Goodbye Lyrics in English by Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman
Partirò is the future tense of the verb partire, meaning "to leave" or "to depart". It directly translates to "I will depart".
This single word is the heart of the song's original Italian title, "Con te partirò" (With you I will depart). It's more than just a simple goodbye; it’s a grand, romantic promise to embark on a new journey together, exploring countries and places the singer has never seen before. It perfectly captures the epic and hopeful feeling of the music.
Don't let the title fool you! "Time To Say Goodbye" isn't a sad song about a breakup. It's actually one of the most powerful songs about starting a new adventure with someone you love. The singer, Italian artist Andrea Bocelli, begins by describing a lonely life: "Quando sono sola / Sogno all'orizzonte / E mancan le parole" (When I'm alone / I dream on the horizon / And words fail me). This person is their light, their sun. Without them, there's no light in the room.
The "goodbye" is to that old, lonely world. The chorus announces a departure to new places: "Paesi che non ho mai / Veduto e vissuto con te / Adesso sì li vivrò / Con te partirò" (Countries I have never / Seen or experienced with you / Now, yes, I will experience them / I will leave with you). They are setting off on a journey to see the world, but only with this special person by their side. It's a song about how love can open up a whole new world.
