Italia

I am searching for the Italian lyrics to the song "Italia" in the new Chris Botti album entitled "Italia". It is sung by Andrea Bocelli. Music by David Foster and lyrics by Lorenzo Cherubini. Can't find it anywhere. Maybe it is too new.

I didn't know the song, but I must say it's absolutely beautiful. Here are the lyrics, written from what I could hear:

Andrea Bocelli & Chris Botti - Italia

E' passione forte che mi fa soffrire per amore
Ogni volta che io mi allontano so
che noi ci apparteniamo ancora un po' di più.

It's strong passion that makes me suffer for love
Each time I go away I know
that we belong to each other a little more.

La strada dove io bambino resterò
Dentro a questi sogni di musica
Libero di vivere la vita che vorrei.

The way I'll always stay (be) a child
Inside these dreams about music
Free to live the life that I want.

La mia musica è per te. immenso amore mio
questa melodia nasce dentro me sempre più
la nostalgia che ho di te amore e dolce terra mia.

My music is for you great love of mine
this song makes me feel more and more
the nostalgia I have for you beloved and sweet land (country) of mine.

Dear Lady A,
Thank you so much! What a beautiful translation. I have only been studying Italian for a year and so when I listened (over and over) to this song I was unable to really make out the exact words he was singing. So, to say the least, even though I was getting the gist of the song, I couldn't get it exactly.

It is a wonderful song....I appreciate your help!

Hi cry for the moon,
It is a new song recently released on a CD called "Italia" by trumpeter Chris Botti.
It is the title song on the album and features Andrea Bocelli singing it with Botti accompanying him on the trumpet. It is so lovely. I listen again and again.
