Amo solo te dolcemente
Amo solo te per tre volte t'amo
Amo solo te non so quanto
Amo solo te tanto tanto
Amo solo te per sei volte t'amo
Amo solo te pazzamente
Amo solo te nove volte t'amo
Io t'amo ora lo sai
Non lo puoi scordar oggi e mai
Amo solo te non dimenticar
Io t'amo a primavera
Col cielo rosa o blu
Io t'amo in pieno inverno
Con l'acqua che vien gi?
Io t'amo e se mi abbracci
Ti adoro ancor di pi?
T'amo notte e d?
T'amo da impazzir, ogni giorno cos?
Per l'eternit?
Io ti adorer?, sempre amor t'amer?
Amo solo te veramente
Amo solo te dolcemente
Amo solo te per tre volte t'amo
Amo solo te non so quanto
Amo solo te tanto tanto
Amo solo te per sei volte t'amo
Amo solo te fedelmente

Amo solo te nove volte t'amo
Amo solo te fedelmente

Amo solo te non dimenticar
Amo solo te fedelmente

Amo solo te fedelmente
Amo solo te pazzamente
Amo solo te non dimenticar
[E allora cantiamola da capo! ]
Amo solo te fedelmente
Amo solo te pazzamente

The song "Amo solo te" by Caterina Valente is a love song which translates to "I only love you". The song is about a person confessing their love to their significant other, stating that they only love them and no one else. The repetition of "Amo solo te" emphasizes the depth and sincerity of their love for this person. The song also highlights the different seasons and moments in time when their love is present, whether it be the spring with its pink and blue sky or the winter with its rushing water.
The singer proclaims their love for their significant other in different ways throughout the song. For instance, they love them "veramente" (truly), "dolcemente" (sweetly), "fedelmente" (faithfully), and "pazzamente" (madly). These varying adverbs highlight the different ways the singer loves the other person. They also mention how much they love the other person, stating that they don't know how much they love them but it's "tanto tanto" (so so much). The repetition of "per tre volte t'amo" (I love you three times) and "sei volte t'amo" (I love you six times) add a sense of poetic charm to the song.

Wenn man Stars wie Caterina Valente, Peter Alexander, Freddy oder Vico Torriani heute zum Glück bei Youtube sehen kann, weiß man erst, was heute für ein Müll durch die Welt rennt, der sich "Star" nennt. Schön dass man diese wirklichen Stars noch live erleben konnte.
