11 years ago, I married Jordan. He is a funny, caring, TALL man. I love him to pieces.
For our first dance, we asked our incredibly talented friend Tracy to sing an Italian song, Con Te Partiro (made popular by Andrea Bocelli).
To say she sang it beautifully would be to underestimate how incredible her performance was. About one minute in to the song, we stopped dancing just so we could watch her seemingly effortless performance. I truly wish I had a recording of her performance. (Hint, Hint T)
In celebration of our anniversary, I thought I would post the song and its English translation here.
I love you Jordan. I'll go with you!
(Sorry, I can't make the video imbed, you'll have to make do with the link!)
I'll Go With You - Con te Partiro
(E. Sartori - L. Quarantotto)
When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room where the sun is absent
If you are not with me
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street
I'll go with you
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you
Now, yes I shall experience them
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer
With you I shall experience them
When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail
And yes, I know
That you are with me
You, my moon, are here with me
My sun, you are here with me
I'll go with you
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you
Now, yes, I shall experience them
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know
No, no exist no longer
With you I shall experience them again
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which I know,
No, no exist no longer
With you I shall experience them again
I'll go with you
I with you.
