A disciple of Luciano Pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari, the blind, Tuscany-born, vocalist has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary opera. His participation in Pavarotti's 1992 hit, Miserere, and Fornaciari's 1993 world tour brought him international attention. Opera, however, represents only one side of his musical persona. Bocelli has been equally successful as a pop ballad singer, having recorded duets with Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Eros Ramazzotti. Al Jarreau, who sang with Bocelli during The Night of Proms in November 1995, praised Bocelli when he said, "I have had the honour to sing with the most beautiful voice in the world." Bocelli grew up on a farm in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany. Beginning piano lessons at the age of six, he later added flute and saxophone.
Despite his obvious musical talents, Bocelli didn't consider a career in music until he had studied law at the University of Pisa and had earned a Doctor Of Law degree. Inspired to pursue music, he studied with famed tenor Franco Corelli, supporting himself by performing in piano bars.
Bocelli's first break as a singer came in 1992 when Fornaciari auditioned tenors to record a demo tape of Miserere, which he had co-written with Bono of U2. Successfully passing the audition, Bocelli recorded the tune as a duet with Pavarotti.
After touring with Fornaciari in 1993, Bocelli performed as a guest star in the Pavarotti International festival held in Modena in September 1994. In addition to performing solo and in a duet with Pavarotti, Bocelli sang with Bryan Adams, Andreas Vollenweider and Nancy Gustavsson. In November 1995, Bocelli toured Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain and France with "Night Of Proms", which also featured Al Jarreau, Bryan Ferry, Roger Hodgson of Supertramp and John Miles.
Bocelli's first two albums -- Il Mare Calmo Della Sera in 1994 and Bocelli in 1996 -- showcased his operatic singing. His third effort, Viaggio Italiano, featured famous arias and traditional songs from Naples. Although released only in Italy, the album sold more than 300,000 copies. With his fourth album, Romanza, released in 1997, Bocelli turned to pop music. The album included the hit, Time to Say Goodbye, recorded as a duet with Sarah Brightman. Bocelli continued to focus on pop balladry with his fifth album, Sogno, released in 1999, which featured a duet with Celine Dion of the David Foster- and Carole Bayer Sager-penned tune, The Prayer, sold more than ten million copies, received a Golden Globe award and led to Bocelli being nominated for a Grammy as "best new artist".
Amo Soltanto Te
Andrea Bocelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Non siamo soli io e te
Non chiedo luce ormai
Quindi il mio sole sarai
Siamo gli stessi qui
Decisi liberi
Intanto parlami
Prova ti amo ancora
Dillo anche tu
Non chiederei di più
Sei la sola
Senza un perché
Amo soltanto te
E non sapevo ma
Oggi è quel giorno che aspettai
Pura e pazienza sei
Da sempre sogno di noi
Siamo gli stessi sì
Decisi liberi
Soltanto seguimi
Se cerchi le parole
Prova ti amo ancora
Dillo anche tu
Non chiederei di più
Sei la sola
Senza un perché
Amo soltanto te
Prova ti amo ancora
Dillo anche tu
Non chiederei di più
Sei la sola senza un perché
Amo soltanto te
This is the only time
That I won't be alone
Andrea Bocelli's song "Amo Soltanto Te" is a beautiful love song that captures the essence of true love. In the first verse, Bocelli sings, "It's been too long since it's just been you and me, I don't ask for light anymore, so you will be my sun." These lyrics express the deep longing for someone you love and want to spend time with. The line "so you will be my sun" is particularly poetic, as it suggests that the person he loves is the light in his life.
The second verse continues this theme of love and longing. Bocelli sings, "And I didn't know, but today is the day I've been waiting for, you're pure and patient, I've been dreaming of us forever." These lyrics speak of the joy and excitement of finally being together with the one you love after waiting and dreaming about it for so long.
Throughout the song, Bocelli emphasizes the importance of being together and the deep love that he feels for the person he sings to. The repetition of the lines "try saying I love you again, I wouldn't ask for more, you're the only one without a reason, I only love you" highlights the simplicity and purity of true love.
Overall, "Amo Soltanto Te" is a beautiful expression of love that captures the joy, longing, and simplicity of being with the person you love.

I Only Love You
Click to see the original lyrics (Italian)
For too long
You and I haven't been alone
I'm not asking for light anymore
So you'll be my sun
We're the same here
Determined and free
For now, talk to me
If you're looking for the words
Try: I still love you
Say that too
I wouldn't ask for more
You're there all alone
Without a reason
I only love you
And I knew it, but
Today's that day
I waited for
You are care and patience
I've been dreaming of us since forever
We're the same, yes
Determined and free
Just follow me
If you're looking for the words
Try: I still love you
Say that too
I wouldn't ask for more
You're there all alone
Without a reason
I only love you
Try: I still love you
Say that too
I wouldn't ask for more
You're there all alone
Without a reason
I only love you
This is the only time
That I will be alone

In case you didn't know, singing a song with Andrea Bocelli for ANY singer, is like getting a degree from the best university in the world for a student. It means you're good enough to earn that privilege.
Now you know.
