Con Te Partiro


 Does this picture make it look like I have been traveling around Paris like my sister has for the past couple of weeks?  Well, I haven't.  You can find everything in Vegas.  

Check the volume on your computer. Good.

Now wait for it....wait for it.....

Four years ago, while Jason and I were visiting our friends in Vegas, we heard Con Te Partiro - the song that my dear friend Mark sang at our wedding.  It played during the light and water show in front of the Bellagio.  Never seen it?  Think the final scene in Oceans Eleven.  Never seen it?  Google it.  It's pretty spectacular.  It is one of our favorite things. 

Hearing this song with Jason was wonderful.  They play all types of music there so we were flooded with la-la-loveland memories of our wedding - since they certainly played it just for the two of us. 

On this trip, sans my hubby, the song began to play just as we were pulling up in front of the Bellagio yet again.  Love it! 

Did you check your volume?  Are you hearing this? 

Here's the English translation:
When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,

  1. I'm jealous. I wanted to see that one (Con Te Partiro is one of my favorite songs ever), but when we went there they had some 50s mix on.
