Time to Say Goodbye
Luke Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c' 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 accesso
La luce che hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te adesso s li vivro
Con te partiro su navi per mari che io lo so
No, no, non esistono piu, it's time to say goodbye
Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
E mancane le parole
E io s 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 s li vivro
Con te partiro su navi per mari che io lo so
No, no, non esistono piu con te io li rivivr
Con te partiro su navi per mari che io lo so
No, no, non esistono pio con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
Io con te.
The lyrics to Luke Kennedy's song Time To Say Goodbye (The Voice 2013 Performance) are in Italian, and they express the feelings of love and longing for a partner who is not present. The song speaks of the dream of being together, the darkness felt in the absence of the loved one, and the hope that comes with their presence. The song talks about the joy of finally experiencing new places and experiences with the loved one. It is a beautiful piece that expresses the emotions of love, hope, and the joy of new beginnings.
The opening lines of the song see the singer dreaming of new horizons, but with no words to explain how he feels. He acknowledges the darkness that fills the room when the sun is gone, but the presence of his loved one brings a light that illuminates all. The chorus then talks of the goodbye they have to say to the places that he has never seen, but now he is embarking on a journey with his lover, and he is excited to finally start living with them. The last part of the song is a reaffirmation of his love for his partner, and they will embark on new adventures together.

Cheers from the USA. Luke is a vocal SUPERSTAR ... let's face it. He needs to win and be heard in every country of the world. Perfect tone, timing and just words can not do this man justice. Wow. He is the complete package. You Aussies are doing something right recognizing such fantastic talents like Luke and Harrison. Amazing talent shining through once again.
