Innamorati A Milano Lyrics in English by Ornella Vanoni

Sapessi is a beautiful and evocative word that means "If you only knew" or "Oh, if you knew." It comes from the verb "sapere" (to know) and is used in the subjunctive imperfect tense, often to express a wish, a regret, or a strong emotional statement.

In "Innamorati A Milano," Ornella Vanoni uses "Sapessi com'è strano" (If you only knew how strange it is) to convey a sense of wonder and perhaps a touch of irony about falling in love in a bustling, seemingly unromantic city like Milan. It immediately draws the listener into her personal reflection and sets a contemplative, intimate tone for the song.
