Se ci sei
Umberto Bindi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guarda, è tornato il sereno
non poteva mancare
perché se ci sei la vita sorride
Senti, anche il freddo è passato
non poteva restare
perché se ci sei ritorna l'estate
Forse tu appartieni ad un mondo
che non è questo mondo

perché se ci sei è tutto piu' bello
Forse da un paese di fiaba

sei discesa per me
e percio' amo te, amo te.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Umberto Bindi's song Se ci sei (If You Are There) express the joy and beauty of life when the person you love is present. The singer begins by saying that the clear sky has returned, as if it couldn't stay away when you are around. The cold has also passed, as if you bring warmth and light to everything around you. The second verse suggests that perhaps the person he is singing to belongs to a different world, a fairy tale world, and that's why everything is more beautiful when she is near. He then declares his love for her.

The lyrics are simple but profound, expressing the idea that love can transform even the coldest and darkest of moments into something beautiful and joyful. The song has a romantic and dreamy quality to it, with Bindi's soft voice and the gentle melody evoking a sense of longing and tenderness.
