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".
Mille Lune Mille Onde
Andrea Bocelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Che la notte è già passata
Svegliati vieni qua
Fra le mie mani nasce il sole
Non pensare al passato
Quanta nebbia c'è là
Stringimi e parlami ancora
E vedrai si rivivrà
Legami con i capelli il cuore
Tu mia onda scendi dentro me
Stringimi che ormai io sono il mare
Questo brivido ti scioglierà
Parlami, abbracciami
Scivola, azzurra luna
Foglie e il vento ci porta
Siamo ali verso il blu
Stringimi e lasciati andare
Il mio vento ora sei tu
Legami con i capelli il cuore
Tu mia onda scendi dentro me
Stringimi che ormai noi siamo il mare
Questo brivido ti scioglierà
E le notti fuggono
Scivolo baciandoti
Mille lune, mille onde
Che attraversano il nostro mare
Legami con i capelli il cuore
Questo brivido ti scioglierà
These lyrics are from Andrea Bocelli's song "Mille Lune Mille Onde," which translates to "Thousand Moons Thousand Waves." The song is about waking up after a long and difficult night and feeling the warmth of the morning sun. The singer encourages his loved one to forget about the past and focus on the present, where they are together. He wants to hold her tight and talk with her, assuring her that they can overcome any obstacles together and have a bright future. The lyrics use water imagery to compare the lover's emotions to the sea and waves. The singer tells his loved one to tie their heart to his hair, and let her wave merge with his, becoming one and sharing their passion.
The chorus of the song is an invitation for the loved one to talk and hug, and to let themselves go, carried away by the wind, like leaves flying towards the sky. The singer feels that they are united forever, and nothing can stop them from facing the future together, overcome by their passion.
In conclusion, "Mille Lune Mille Onde" is an uplifting love song about hope, unity, and passion between two people who have overcome their past difficulties and are facing a bright future. The water imagery used throughout the song adds a poetic layer to the lyrics, emphasizing the depth and intensity of the lovers' emotions.

(lyrics)
Wake up my love, that the night has already passed
Wake up come here in my hands, the sun comes up
Don't think about the past, how much fog there is
Hold me and talk to me again, and you'll see it will be relived
Tie

Hold me that now I am the sea
This shiver will melt you
Talk to me, hug me, slide, blue moon
Leaves and the wind brings us, we are wings towards blue
Hold me and let go, my wind is you now
Tie

Hold me that we are now the sea
This shiver will melt you
And the nights run away, I slide kissing you
A thousand moons, a thousand waves, which cross our sea
Ties with the hair the heart this chill will melt you

Tighten me now that we are the sea
This shiver will melt you
And the nights flee, Slip kissing you
A thousand moons, a thousand waves, that cross our sea
Ties with hair the heart this shiver will melt you '

@@marianbaker5102 Wake up my love the night’s already over
Wake up come here in my arms the sun is rising
Don’t think of the past, all the mists that lie there
Hold me tight and talk to me again and you’ll see we’ll live again
Bind my heart with your hair
You’re my wave breaking inside me
Hold me tight for now I’m the sea
You’ll feel the thrill right through
Talk to me, Hold me, Glide,
Blue moon

We’re heading skywards
Hug me and let yourself go

And the nights slip by
I glide kissing you

Bind my heart with your hair
You’ll feel the thrill right through

I remember when I heard this wonderful voice on a commercial for Barilla pasta on TV; I dropped what I was doing and called the corporate office of the company and asked for the name of the singer on the commercial. Loving Classic Rock most of my life, it was great to hear something I could relax and enjoy from my soul (and I have no idea what he is saying, but I know it was good as gold)
