"Al di là" (English translation:
"Beyond") is a song written by Italian composer Carlo Donida and
lyricst Mogol, and recorded by Betty Curtis. The English lyrics were written
by Ervin Drake. The song was the Italian entry in the Eurovision
Song Contest 1961, performed in Italian by
Curtis at the Palais
des Festivals in Cannes, France, on 18 March 1961, after Curtis had won the 1961
edition of the Sanremo Music
Festival on 2 February
1961, which served as the Italian national selection from 1958 to 1966.
It was
also recorded by Italian-American singer Connie Francis in Italian in 1962, and she
re-recorded it in a bilingual version later during the same year.
Composer
Donida is best known in America for writing "Uno Die Tanta," or
"I (Who Have Nothing)".
English lyricist Drake also wrote the lyrics for such songs as "Quando, Quando,
Quando" and "Good Morning
Heartache", and both the music and lyrics for "It Was a Very Good
Year".
Al di la means you are far above me, very far
Al di la, as distant as the lovely evening star
Where you walk flowers bloom
When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine
And my heart opens wide
When you're gone it fades inside and seems to have died
Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were
Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were
In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime
Then I knew all of you was completely mine.
Al di lá del bene più prezioso, ci sei tu.
Al di lá del sogno più ambizioso, ci sei tu.
Al di lá delle cose più belle.
Al di lá delle stelle, ci sei tu.
Al di lá, ci sei tu per me, per me, soltanto per me.
Al di lá del mare più profondo, ci sei tu.
Al di lá de i limiti del mondo, ci sei tu.
Al di lá della volta infinita, al di la della vita.
Ci sei tu, al di la, ci sei tu per me.
La la la la la...
La la la...
(Ci sei tu...)
(Ci sei tu...)
Al di lá del bene più prezioso, ci sei tu,
Al di lá del sogno più ambizioso, ci sei tu,
Where you walk flowers bloom
When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine
And my heart opens wide
When you're gone it fades inside and seems to have died
Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were
Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were
In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime
Then I knew all of you was completely mine.
Al di lá del mare più profondo, ci sei tu.
Al di lá del limiti del mundo, ci sei tu.
Al di lá della volta infinita, al di la della vita.
Ci sei tu, al di la, ci sei tu per me.
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la…la…la
PS
The film 'Roman Holiday' was shown in Colombo in the early 1960s and had this song. It was a very catchy tune and popular. The story was that the film depicted the antics of a member of the British Royal family of those years.
