Time to Say Goodbye
David Abel & Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando sono solo
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Sì lo so che non c'è luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me

Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più

It's time to say goodbye

Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io sì lo so
Che sei con me, con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me
con me, con me, con me

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso sì li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò

Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
Con te io li rivivrò
Con te partirò





No, no, non esistono più
Io con te

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Abel/Orchestra's song Time to Say Goodbye are inspired by love, longing, and the inevitability of change. The opening stanza speaks of the loneliness one feels when there is no one around, and how even in the absence of words, one can dream and see hope on the horizon. However, without the presence of a loved one, it feels like there is no light in the room when the sun is gone. The singer longs for his lover to be with him, to show his heart to the world, and he acknowledges the light she has brought into his life.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about leaving behind places he has never seen or experienced before with his lover. He is ready to embark on a journey with her, exploring new countries and discovering new horizons. The two plan to set sail on ships that no longer exist, but they will live those moments together, making memories that will last a lifetime. When the singer is far away from his lover, he dreams of the horizon, knowing that she is with him, just like the sun and the moon.


The chorus repeats the line "It's time to say goodbye" to emphasize how everything comes to an end eventually, but it does not have to be a sad event. The lover decides to take a leap of faith and go on an adventure with his partner, and while some things may no longer exist, he knows they will always exist in his heart and in his memories.
