Con te Partiro


"Con te Partiro" by Andrea Bocelli is a song originally composed in the key of E major. The song, also known as "Time to Say Goodbye," was released in 1995 as a duet with Sarah Brightman. It was written by Francesco Sartori (music) and Lucio Quarantotto (lyrics). This iconic song has become one of Bocelli's most popular and well-known pieces. A curiosity about this song is that it was intended to be a farewell between a mother and child, but its emotional lyrics and powerful melody have made it a universal anthem of love and separation. The melody is characterized by Bocelli's breathtaking and expressive vocals, accompanied by orchestral arrangements that evoke a sense of longing and emotion.
