Verse 1

To live again just for an hour

And for an hour to have you in my arms

And making disappear forever from your face

Every uncertainty that still torments you

To live again just for an hour

And for an hour to see on your face

All the love that I've known how to give you

Or: All the love that I was able to give you

And my life, which now is only yours

Chorus 1

And then stay close with eyes open

To wait from the window

To reach us the light of a day that sees us

Tightly embraced, with ours eyes locked

Or: Tightly embraced with our eyes looking into each other's eyes

Verse 2

To be able to see in a dark room

With our eyes closed what we want

To be able to feel close to my hand

Your hair scattered on the pillow

Chorus 2

To feel that forever is my destiny

It became yours

SONG MEANING

“Vivere Ancora” – which literally means “To Live Again” – is Gino Paoli’s heartfelt wish to stop the clock for just one magical hour. In this pop ballad, the legendary Italian singer imagines squeezing a whole lifetime of tenderness into those sixty golden minutes: holding his lover close, wiping away every shadow of doubt, and seeing her face light up with the love he has always hoped to give. The song pulses with a sense of urgency, yet it is wrapped in dreamy intimacy, inviting listeners to picture a room where time pauses and emotions glow brighter than daylight.

Dig a little deeper and you will find a beautiful surrender: Paoli paints love as the moment when two destinies melt into one. He dreams of greeting the sunrise still locked in an embrace, eyes wide open, hearts fully exposed. The gentle images – fingers brushing loose hair on a pillow, silent promises exchanged in the dark – turn “Vivere Ancora” into an ode to love so complete that living, breathing, and even fate itself become a shared experience. Listening to this song is like pressing pause on the world and hitting play on pure romance.
