Con te partirò



When I am alone
I'm dreaming at the horizon
And the words are missing
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room when the sun is missing
If you are not with me, with me
On the windows
Show everyone my heart
That you have lit
Enclose within me
The light that
You've met on the road


With you, I will depart
Lands I have never
Seen and lived with you
Now, yes, I will live them
With you, I will set out
On ships over seas
That I know
No, no, they no longer exist
With you, I will live them


When you are away
I'm dreaming at the horizon
And the words are missing
And, yes, I do know
That you are with me, with me
You, my moon, you are here with me
My sun, you are here with me
With me, with me, with me


With you, I will depart
Lands I have never
Seen and lived with you
Now, yes, I will live them
With you, I will set out
On ships over seas
That I know
No, no, they no longer exist

With you, I will live them
With you, I will relive them
With you, I will depart
On ships over seas
That I know
No, no, they don't exist anymore
With you, I will relive them
With you, I will depart

Me with you...

I don't even like Italian. Kinda hate it. Reminds me of my father who speaks it or uses it any chance he gets when he's only very partially Italian. His side of the family is bizarrely obsessed with its Italian heritage.

Literally watching that Romanian quintuplets episode of South Park got me curious to hear this song that Kenny practices for his singing.

I didn't think I'd find... another nugget of meaning in it. I've known that episode for years and somehow this is the time I am actually looking up that song.

You know. Despite everything, Hopoe,
at the end of the day, it's you I want to depart with. 

To somewhere I don't even know.
