Time to Say Goodbye
LIV MOON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sogno all′orizzonte
E mancan le parole,
Si 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
Che hai accesso,
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada.
Time to say goodbye. -- Con te
Partirò.
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. -- con
Te io li vivrò.
Quando sei lontana
Sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole,
E io si 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. -- Con te
Partirò.
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
Io con te.
The song "Time to Say Goodbye" by LIV MOON features lyrics that speak to the presence of a loved one in the face of darkness or uncertain times. The opening lines describe a dream of the horizon, where words fail and there is no light in the absence of the sun. However, the singer acknowledges that having someone there, someone like the person they address in the chorus, brings light to the darkness. The lines "Su le finestre/Mostra a tutti il mio cuore/che hai accesso" convey the singer's willingness to open up, revealing their heart to the one who brings light to their world, their "luna" and "sole".
The chorus follows the theme of departure, as the singer announces their intent to leave with their loved one and finally see the countries they've never experienced before. They will do this on ships that sail in seas that "no longer exist", perhaps referring to the idea that the world is changing so much that the journey before them may lead to places that have been lost in history. Yet despite the unknown, the singer remains certain that they will experience these places "with you", "con te". The final line, "Con te partirò, io con te" emphasizes the unbreakable bond between the two, with the singer affirming their commitment to leaving with their loved one.
Overall, "Time to Say Goodbye" is a song that touches on the theme of the power of love to guide and bring light in uncertain times. The lyrics encourage us to embark on unknown journeys with someone we trust and care for, rather than face our fears alone.
