Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Per Amarti (Por Amarte) by Enrique Iglesias from Italian to English.
Verse 1
Amare é dire la cosa che
To love is to say the thing
Tu non diresti mai
That you would never say
Amare é camminare con lei
To love is to walk with her
Per l'eternita
For eternity
Amare é quando resto e penso
To love is when I stay and think
Dove sarai
Where you will be
Amare é quando non capisci
To love is when you don't understand
Piu cosa fai
What you're doing anymore
Chorus 1
Amare é quando la proteggi
To love is when you protect her
Dalla pioggia dal vento
From the rain and the wind
Amare é tu l'abbracci
To love is when you hug her
E dimentichi il tempo
And forget about time
Amare é quando tu la pensi
To love is when you think of her
E non riesci a mangiare
And can't eat
Amare é quando lei ti racconta
To love is when she tells you something
E ti va di ascoltare
And you feel like listening
Verse 2
Per amarti ti verrei a cercare
To love you, I would come looking for you
Al confini del mare
At the ends of the sea
Per amarti chiederei alla sera
To love you, I would ask the evening
Di poterti sfiorare
To be able to touch you
Per amarti legherei alla pioggia
To love you, I would tie even the fire
Anche il fuoco io
To the rain
Per amarti ti dare la mia vita
To love you, I would give you my life
solo per baciarti
...just to kiss you
Chorus 2
Amare é quando scrivi il suo nome
To love is when you write her name
E ti trema la mono
And your hand trembles
Amare é quando sogni soltanto
To love is when you only dream
Di portarla lontano
Of taking her away
Amare é quando tu la vedi
To love is when you see her
E ritrovi I suoi occhi
And find her eyes again
Amare é quando ti sorprendi
To love is when you surprise yourself
Di come la tocchi
With how you touch her

SONG MEANING
The song "Per Amarti" by Enrique Iglesias is a heartfelt expression of love and devotion. The lyrics describe the various ways in which love is experienced, such as speaking words that one would never say, walking together for eternity, and thinking about the other person even when apart. Love is portrayed as protecting and embracing the loved one, as well as being unable to eat or concentrate when thinking about them. The song also highlights the desire to go to great lengths for love, such as searching for the person at the ends of the earth, asking the evening to allow a gentle touch, and even giving one's life just to be able to kiss them. It captures the intense emotions and longing that come with being in love, and the willingness to do anything for that special someone.
