Josh Groban - Un Giorno Per Noi (Romeo e Giulietta)

This song is so beautiful to me. It is by far my favorite song. Partially I think it is so amazing becuase whenever I hear it I am instantly calmed, instantly moved and many times instantly brought to tears, but I don't understand a single word. It is just that powerful.

Josh Groban does such an amazing job conveying the essence of the lyrics. The song is written and sung in Italian and below are both the Italian lyrics and what I found, via Google search, to be the English translation. I have no idea how accurate they are, but I think the idea behind what the song represents is intact.

You may want to turn your volume up a bit, as the song starts off very quiet. However, it will crescendo toward the ending, so be aware of that too. :)



Un Giorno Per Noi

Lyrics by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder;
New lyrics by Alfredo Rapetti aka Cheope

Un giorno sai, per noi verrá
la libertá di amarci qui senza limiti.
E fiorirá il sogno a noi negato
si svelerá l'amor ce l'ha t'ormai.

Un giorno sai, per vivere
la vita che ci sfugge qui,
Un giorno sai, per vivere
la vita che ci sfugge qui.

L'amore noi supererá
Io stacco lí e le maree dell'avversitá
E ci stará anche per noi nel mondo
Un tempo in cui l'amore vincerá
Un tempo in cui l'amore vincerá

A Time for Us

A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us, for the living
A life worthwhile for you and me
A time for us, for the living
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A time in which love will win
A time in which love will win
Pin It

    This is the link for the lyrics to the theme song for the movie "Romeo and Juliet" which came out about 1968-69. The theme song was called 'A time for Us' -- we sang it in choir. And, no surprise here, it is done in Italian because the play was set in Venice, I believe.

    Anyway, that is MY knowledge of the song. I have always loved the music, as it is very haunting but romantic.

    So, there ya go!
    Love,
    Mom

  2. Thanks, Mom! I knew it was the theme song, but that is really cool that you got to sing it in choir!
