Every time the song is played somewhere are you going to have it in the trivia section? Fighting for Justice 02:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think it's fine to have a list of notable performances. —Lowellian (reply) 04:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
This song is played a lot more often than most people would think. Every SuperValu owned grocery store in America plays this song several times a day. Dy 162.5 (talk) 19:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Problem with dates

edit

The Con te partirò article claims:

"It was first sung by Andrea Bocelli at the 1995 San Remo Festival and recorded on his album of the same year, Romanza, and is considered Bocelli's signature song."

However, the article Romanza (Bocelli album) says that the album was recorded in 1996 and released in 1997, directly contradicting the "same year" claim above. One of the articles is wrong and shouuld be fixed. —Lowellian (reply) 04:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I had just noticed that. It is actually from the 1995 album Bocelli (album). TubularWorld (talk) 11:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but WHEN WAS IT WRITTEN?!!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BWernham (talkcontribs) 08:27, 23 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Plagiarism

edit

The song is a rip-off from Baccara's Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. Hektor (talk) 23:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is a cynical attempt to disparage a tender and moving love song. This song is not a rip-off from Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie, however, it may be loosely based on the Spinner's Rubberband Man. AspureasNewYorksnow (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Haha, Hektor rules! Yes indeed, in parts it is a rip-off from Baccara's Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. The lines "It's time to say goodbye" matches exactly with the opening melody (moaning) of Baccara's song. What does it mean disparage? Does it mean Bocelli/Brightman are not wallowing in cheap kitsch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.240.246.113 (talk) 22:45, 4 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I also agree with Hector. The article should mention the similarities with Yes Sir, I Can Boogie from Baccara. HmmMovo (talk) 08:28, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Translation

edit

"Partire" means "to leave", not "to go". The English translation "I will go with you" was chosen for metric reasons. Sjappé (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

capitalisation

edit

Any reasons that partirò isn't capitalised? It appears to be on the image and lots of references on the web. Btljs (talk) 17:20, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 25 September 2018

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Con te partiròTime to Say Goodbye – per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:USEENGLISH. Since this is the English Wikipedia, the main header should indicate the title by which this song is known in the English-speaking world, as evidenced by the appended image, within the article, of the lower album cover. The hatnote already specifies, ""Time to Say Goodbye" redirects here. For other uses, see Time to Say Goodbye (disambiguation)." On English Wikipedia, it is Con te partirò that should redirect to Time to Say Goodbye.     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 01:12, 25 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

If there were separate Wikipedia entries for Con te partirò and Time to Say Goodbye in the manner of Comme d'habitude and My Way, then such an approach would be appropriate. However, as long as English Wikipedia does not have separate entries for Con te partirò and Time to Say Goodbye, then the single entry's main header should be the English title, per this previously-mentioned album cover. Moreover, the proposed main header, Con te partirò (Time to Say Goodbye), presents the appearance of unnecessary disambiguation since it is a unique title which does not require a parenthetcal qualifier. A slight consensus might develop for the form, Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò) since such a qualifier disambiguates it from the little-known Time to Say Goodbye (Antique song), with Time to Say Goodbye then becoming a disambiguation page listing both songs. However, the Andrea Bocelli-Sarah Brightman song is an overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the other one.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 04:03, 27 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
