You and Me
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rimani ancora un po'
Sarà quest'atmosfera
Ma non mi dire di no
Per farti prigioniero
Qualcosa inventerò
Ma che bisogno c'era
Questo giorno è una pazzia
Ma la luna è amica mia
Se ti resta un sogno da buttare via
Soli in mezzo a una città
Solo amici e poi chissà
Poi non basta mai
Tante cose da dirsi
E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi
Poi non basta mai
Si fa tardi ma dai
Dove corri a quest'ora?
Just show me how to love you
Io non ti lascio più
Gabbiano di scogliera
Io sto una favola e tu?
Just show me how to love you
Fame o febbre o quel che sia
Mi ci sento a casa mia
Dentro questo sogno da buttare via
Non mi sembra vero ma
Sembra un'altra la città
E non basta mai
Tante cose da dirsi
E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi
E non basta mai
È già tardi ma dai
Dove torni a quest'ora?
Just show me how to love you
E ci ridiamo su
Gabbiano di scogliera
Ma dov'eri nascosto
Dov'eri fin'ora?
Tu cosa fai stasera?
Ci ridiamo su
Magari un'altra sera
Ed è già domattina
E la luna la spegni tu!
The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's "Just Show Me How To Love You" describe the singer's desire for love and connection with their partner. The first two lines translate to "What are you doing tonight? Stay a little longer. It must be this atmosphere, but don't tell me no." The singer is requesting that their partner stay with them, regardless of prior engagements, and hints at the possibility of imprisonment. The third line is a reference to the singer's creativity in keeping their partner captive, suggesting that the atmosphere between them is charged with romantic tension.
The singer goes on to describe the day as a "madness," but the moon is their friend. They suggest that if their partner has any dreams to cast aside, they can do it together in the middle of the city as friends. However, this seems to be a mere facade as they later say that it's never enough to just be friends; there are always more things to say, understand, and embrace. They ask to be shown how to love their partner, expressing their commitment to them with the lines, "I won't leave you anymore. Seagull on the cliff, am I a fairy tale and you?"
The singer reveals that they feel at home with the person they love and suggests that even a fever wouldn't take them away from it. They are living in a dream, and it's hard to believe it's real. They question why they've only just found each other, requesting that their partner show them how to love them. The singer finishes by saying that they can laugh and spend time together tonight before eventually turning off the moon and going their separate ways.

Tu cosa fai stasera?
What are you doing tonight?
Rimani ancora un po'
Stay a little while longer
Sarà quest'atmosfera
It's just the atmosphere
Ma non mi dire di no
But don't say no
Per farti prigioniero
To make you a captive
Qualcosa inventerò
I'll think of something
Ma che bisogno c'era
But was it necessary
Di amarti subito un po'
To love you a little bit right away
Questo giorno è una pazzia
This day is madness
Ma la luna è amica mia
But the moon is my friend
Se ti resta un sogno da buttare via
If you have a dream to throw away
Soli in mezzo a una città
Alone in the middle of a city
Solo amici e poi chissà
Just friends and then who knows
Poi non basta mai
Then it's never enough
Tante cose da dirsi
So much to say
E baciarsi e capirsi e stringersi
And to kiss and understand and hold each other
Si fa tardi ma dai
It's getting late but come on
Dove corri a quest'ora?
Where are you running off to at this hour?
Just show me how to love you
Just show me how to love you
Io non ti lascio più
I won't leave you anymore
Gabbiano di scogliera
Seagull on the cliff
Io sto una favola e tu?
I am in a fairytale and you?
Fame o febbre o quel che sia
Hunger or fever or whatever
Mi ci sento a casa mia
I feel at home here
Dentro questo sogno da buttare via
Inside this dream to throw away
Non mi sembra vero ma
It doesn't seem real but
Sembra un'altra la città
The city seems different
È già tardi ma dai
It's already late but come on
Dove torni a quest'ora?
Where are you returning at this hour?
E ci ridiamo su
And we laugh about it
Ma dov'eri nascosto
But where were you hidden
Dov'eri fin'ora?
Where were you until now?
Magari un'altra sera
Maybe another night
Ed è già domattina
And it's already tomorrow morning
E la luna la spegni tu!
And you turn off the moon!
