Con te Partiro was first sang by Andrea Bocelli at the 1995 Sanremo Festival and recorded that year. He has made a second version in English Time to Say Goodbye with Sarah Brightman and third in Spanish called Por ti Volare. This song is Bocelli’s signature. Con te Partiro has been translated into an English as Time to Say Goodbye, however it’s literal translation is “with you I will leave”. Andrea Bocelli is an Italian tenor and singer, songwriter. He had sight problems from birth but at the age of twelve following a football accident he lost his eyesight completely.
What we like
- We love Bocelli’s solo version in Italian. Bocelli’s expression allows you to somehow understand the meaning through the force of feeling without the necessity of understanding the words
Soul experience
- This song apparently has been played at many funerals and it has been no exception to us. The difference with us is we played this song to our grandmother many years prior while she was alive and saw the warmth of her reaction. When she passed at the wonderful age of 104 years we played this song at her funeral with a slideshow which gave tribute to her beautiful life. Upon hearing this song the two memories melt away to where only love exists. Far from being a song of sorrow it is a song rejoicing that of what we hold true
To reflect on
- 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

Louise Hay – one moment one action
“By embracing faith, instead of fear, we become an example of the love and strength needed to help change the world. Peace was never won with violence and faith has never been met with darkness.
Let us become the deliverers of hope through our intention to make the world a better place, one moment and one action at a time.”
Dalai Lama – a precious human life
“Every day, think as you wake up. Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others, as much as I can.”
Camino de Sydney | Route 3 | Edgecliff to Watsons Bay
There glistening with the sun on the water was that magnificent view of the harbour and city like some magical dream. Hypnotically I walked through that street soaking every aspect of the area. It was only later on that I discovered where I had been. It was Wolseley Road Point Piper home to the most expensive properties in Australia…
