Vivere - Carlo Buti w/Translation

Vivere - "To Live"
My Translation:
To Live (Vivere)

What a magnificent day
what a day to celebrate
my girl has left me
I'm free at last!

I've got my life back
and I intend to enjoy it.
when she left she said she wouldn't come back

Now I can live without misery
live without jealousy
with no regrets
with no concerns about love

I can enjoy the flowers, enjoy life
and still my feelings

I can laugh and be happy
I can laugh at a foolish world
I can live while I am still young
because life is beautiful
and I want to live more of it

Women want you to act in
in the comedy of love
they want you to play the
romantic lead
but when the curtain comes down in act 3
your faced with reality
Her romantic drama is a farce

Live! even if you feel a little nostalgic
I'm not bitter any more
I'm happy for the guy who took her away
To live while I'm young
Because life is beautiful

[STMARGO]

Pavarotti? Schippa? Both Maestro's to be sure! But, NO ONE! NO ONE, had the "color" in his voice that was borne by Carlo Buti. That is why he was known as Italy's "Golden Voice." I first heard his "Vivere" a few years ago. .."OMIGOD!!!" No one has ever moved my heart and soul that way with a song. I once listened to it non-stop on a drive from NW Indiana to St. Louis, MO. I would love to have a transliteration of every word. .... THIS IS MYYYYY SONG! Ohhhh my!

Bixio wrote this right?

[reduxmisc]

right.

[STMARGO]

Yes indeed anavas! Bixio wrote it! He wrote "Granada" too; if I remember correctly?

[reduxmisc]

no Granada was written by Augustin Laura

a well known Mexican song writer

[castorp1981]

I am a big Pavarotti fun but this is better then Pavarotti's version.

[csibez]

This song lifts your spirits.

Carlo Buti had such a wonderful voice

so warm, passionate and seductive.

[Level7Gentlemen]

Thanks to Titus, I can never hear this song again without thinking of Anthony Hopkins serving human pies.

[priapus56]

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it on the "Italy after Dark" C.D which I found in 1997. But, I've never known what the lyrics meant..POW!!!! What a revelation!!!!! SUPERB!!!! i shall sing it in the shower with even MORE gusto now! (p.s. i still love the ladies thou'..even at my age! (54).

[fairyofdew]

I listen to Buti & wonder couldn't be there's any one better in the world. I've listened to all the great to find - yes! There's nobody there. Although wait... may be in the Heaven.

[SuperDino2222]

Italian songs are beautiful this one is a gem, Carlo is thanking the guy that took his woman away from him, he's freeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[31operafan]

:) Best version I've heard! Weird lyrics, though...it's about a guy who's happy about breaking up with his girlfriend?! O.O Gee, it reminds me of the hilarious country song "I Got a Brand New Girlfriend".

[guitarboogieboogie]

Makes me wanna be an Italian!

[Mandophile]

a summary of the lyrics: 'finally, after having listened to all your jealous tirades, your insane questioning, and stupid comments about how much you love me and trust me, finally, I am rid of you and I can smile again and live life to the fullest without your jealousy. I am free!

[Mangiare1]

The voice of Carlo Buti is like water in the middle of a desert. Those who laugh

do not understand how his voice flowed freely without strain. He understood the voice and all it was blessed to do.The sound that people hear today are similar to the sound of GOATS. They have accepted it and they will never understand.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Carlo FOREVER!!!!
