Resta Qui - Stay with me

Goodnight all. I'm finally going to bed. I've listened to so much music today. So much that I'm speaking in song. j/k. :) There is a song I will leave you with. It's the perfect goodnight/goodbye song. It's called Resta Qui and it's sung by Andrea Bocelli. The Italian lyrics and English translation are below. But it is a song about his love for his lover. He loves her so much and doesn't want them to ever be apart (hence the title) because he doesn't want to lose her.
*sigh* I'm such a hopeless romantic. :)
Do you have someone you would sing this song to? I do and he's asleep upstairs right now. I'm going to go to sleep now too and be his angel and slow down time so we can be together longer before he has to leave again for work. :(
Buona Notte

RESTA QUI
Matteo Musumeci / Andrea Bocelli

Perderti così
Come un attimo
Mentre tutto va
Oltre i limiti
Della mia fantasia
Tu che eri mia!

Voli e brividi
Grandi sogni che
Forse realizzai
A che servono
Se tu non sei qui
Qui con me
Anche se ho sbagliato io…

Resta qui con me
io sarò per te
un angelo vero che songa e che sa
prederti la mano
e darti l’anima
resta qui
resta qui
tu che sei mia
un attimo e noi
voleremo là
dove tutto è paradiso se
noi noi saremo là
soli ma insieme.

Lo ritornerò credimi
L’uomo che hai amato in me

Resta qui con me
io sarò per te
un angelo vero che songa e che sa
rallentare il tempo
che non passerà
resta qui, resta qui,
tu che sei mia

Un attimo e noi
voleremo là
ogni giorno che
noi saremo insieme

STAY HERE


To lose you like that
As in a moment
When everything’s
Going beyond
Your wildest dreams
You who were mine!

Flights of fancy
Thrills and dreams
That maybe came true
What are they for
If you’re not here
Here with me
Even if I was wrong….

Stay here with me
I’ll be yours
A real angel who dreams, who can
Hold your hand
And give you his soul
Stay here
Stay here
You who are mine
One moment and we
Will fly there
Where all is paradise if
We we are there
Alone but together

I’ll come back believe me
The man you loved in me

Stay here with me
I’ll be yours
A real angel who dreams and can
Slow down time
And make it stop
Stay here, stay here
You who are mine

One moment and we
Will fly there
Every day
We are together
