Mi Historia
Nac el 16 de mayo de 1974. Pocos aos despus empec a desear que la msica fuese parte de mi vida. La primera cancin que cant fue Ramaya de Afric Simone, por suerte solo mi familia conserva la grabacin y me he decidido a publicarla por primera vez porque a partir de ah inicio todo. Mi padre, cantante y msico, me llevaba con l en sus noches de piano bar desde que tena 8 aos, no fue su voluntad la que le llevo a hacerlo, sino mi insistencia. Entonces me toc atenerme a muchas reglas, mis padres eran muy estrictos y es justo que as fuese. Yo era realmente pequea, pero fui siempre diligente y determinada y hoy en da esto es de gran ayuda en mi vida y en mi trabajo. Con 12 aos escrib mi primera cancin. Con 16 aos cante sola por vez primera, con las bases, en Boloa (Italia) en un restaurante. Con 18 aos me lleg una oportunidad nica: El Festival de San Remo en Italia y una cancin que sera mi espejo durante el resto de mi vida: La Soledad. Fue en el ao 1993. Hace veinte aos. Al ao siguiente comenc a cantar en espaol y os lo juro nunca hubiese podido imaginar el estar hoy aqu presentndoos un disco lleno de canciones que me habis dado el privilegio de convertir en xitos. Para mi este disco no habla de un resultado, sino de un tramo ms del camino que quisiera seguir haciendo durante muchos aos junto a vosotros. He credo en un sueo. Y he hecho bien en hacerlo. Gracias este sueo estando sola no vala para nada.

My History
I was born on 16th May 1974. A few years later I decided I wanted music to play a big part in my life. The first song I sang was Ramaya by Afric Simone, which (luckily) only my family has a recording of. Ive decided to release it now, for the very first time on this album. This song is how everything began. My dad, a singer and musician, started taking me along to his piano bar evenings when I was 8, not because he made me go, but because I made him take me. At the time I had to respect a whole bunch of rules as my parents were very strict, and rightly so. I was very young but have always been diligent and determined in what I do. I wrote my first song when I was 12. At 16 I performed for the first time alone one evening, with some backing tracks, in a restaurant in Bologna. At 18 I was given a unique opportunity: the Sanremo Music Festival and a song which is and always will be like looking in the mirror for me: La Solitudine. TH AT WAS I N 1 9 9 3 . T W E N T Y Y E A RS A G O . And I swear to you Id never have imagined Id be here now, presenting an album of songs youve given me the privilege to turn into successes. I dont think of this as an album about an end result, but rather another step in the journey Id like to continue on with you for many years to come. I believed in my dream. And was right to do so. On its own this dream wasnt worth a thing though so thank you

Mi primera cancin. El inicio de mi carrera en Italia

y despus, inesperadamente, en el resto del mundo. Empec a darme a conocer hablando de mi vida, de Marco y del tren de las 07.30 que tomaba en la pequea estacin de Solarolo (RA), donde nac, para ir a la escuela de arte de Faenza (RA) donde estudie durante 5 aos. Tena 18 aos y hablaba de la soledad como la estaba conociendo, melanclicamente, como muchos otros adolescentes. Para efectuar los arreglos de esta cancin haca falta un genio, alguien que pudiese convertirla en una pelcula, y no dude en contactarlo porque yo soaba con esta colaboracin desde haca aos no me esperaba que un da se volviese realidad y por esto sigo pensando que el hecho de no tener

miedo de nuestros sueos nos da la fuerza de hacerlos realidad: Ennio Morricone, un nombre y un hombre que el mundo envidia. Lo llame en una tarde de marzo de 2013 y le ped una cita, me contesto que lo llamase por la maana muy temprano el da 25 para organizarnos. Por la tarde ya estaba con l, en su casa, y con la msica. Y me dijo que s. Solo puedo decir que los grandes artistas saben ser tambin grandes personas cuando no estn sobre el escenario. Seguramente, cuando l me dice que se siente honrado por trabajar conmigo, no se est dando cuenta de que l ES la msica. Y yo soy solo una cantante que esta vez canta una cancin suya, junto a l, y de que el honor es mo.

omo en el caso de La Soledad esta cancin fue escrita por dos chicos de Miln que escriben msica como hobby increble ni siquiera me conocan y supieron describir el momento que estaba viviendo. La versin original, que supuso un gran xito en versin espaola, tiene un ritmo completamente diferente. Tambin tena un deseo con respecto a esta cancin, poderla realizar y cantar con un artista que se ha convertido en un amigo y que es una fuerza de la naturaleza: Marc Anthony. Le dije:Marc, quiero que sea como t! Latina! Quiero salsa hermano! Y el: I would LOVE to, mama! It would be my HONOR!!! And that happens to be my favourite song. En fin nosotros nos hemos divertido mucho y esta nueva versin es increble!
Like La solitudine, this song was also penned by a couple of guys from Milan whose hobby is writing music. It was incredible, they didnt even know me and yet they were able to describe what I was going through at the time. The original version has a completely different beat and the Spanish one we did was a huge success. I had hopes for this song, too, and wanted to produce and sing it with an American whos become a friend and is quite simply a force of nature: Marc Anthony. I told him: Marc, I want the song to be like you, Latino! Quiero salsa hermano! (I want salsa, brother). And he replied:Id LOVE to, mama! It would be my HONOR!!! And that happens to be my favourite song. Well... we had a lot of fun working together and this new version is crazy!

Qu cancin tan bonita! me gustaba por aquel

entonces y me gusta ahora. Rebosa alegra, fuerza y determinacin. Me representa mucho. En el videoclip original aparecan mis amigas Paola&Chiara, que an no conoca! La versin que hemos hecho est inspirada en Irlanda, una tierra con mucho significado y con una msica abrumadora, como quera que fuese mi nueva Gente.
What an extraordinary song! I liked it when I first recorded it and still do, enormously. Its full of joy, strength and determination - very me. My friends Paola&Chiara make an appearance in the original video clip, although I didnt know them at the time! The version weve arranged was inspired by Ireland, a land full of meaning and captivating music, just like I wanted the new version of Gente to be.

My first song. The beginning of my career in Italy and then, unexpectedly, the rest of the world. I began to get recognition as a singer by talking about my life, about Marco and the 7.30am train I used to catch from the little station in Solarolo (Ravenna) where I was born, to get to the art school in Faenza (Ravenna) where I studied for 5 years. I was 18 and talked about loneliness because sadly, like many teenagers, thats what I was experiencing at the time. I knew itd take a genius to arrange this song, someone whod manage to turn it into a film and had no doubt who that person would be. Although Id dreamed of working with him for years I never expected my dream to come true. But it did, which

is why I keep thinking that we have the strength to turn our dreams into reality as long as were not afraid of them. Ennio Morricone, a name and a man the world envies Italy for. I contacted him one afternoon in March to ask for an appointment and he told me to ring back very early the morning of the 25th to make arrangements. That afternoon I was with him, in his life, with his music. And he said yes! All I can say is that great artists are extraordinary people even when theyre not on stage. When he said he was honoured to be working with me he clearly didnt realize that he IS music. And Im just a singer. A singer whos singing her first song again, and is immensely honoured to be doing so with him.

A hora os puedo hablar de las coincidencias de la

vida!Haba ganado el Festival de San Remo el ao anterior y esto me permita volver a participar en la categora Big! Tena una cancin que les gustaba mucho, se llamaba Una vita migliore (Una vida mejor). Estaba persuadida de que aquella cancin era perfecta para m pero sin ni siquiera buscarla llego Amores Extraos. La primera vez que la escuche estaba en la casa que despus se convirti en mi fan club y donde por aquel entonces pasaba muchas horas leyendo y contestando a las cartas que reciba de parte de personas que me hablaban como si yo fuese su novia, su hermana, su amiga y que me contaban sus vidas y sus Amores Extraos.
Now let me tell you about a few of the coincidences that happened around this song. Having won the 1993 Sanremo Music Festival, it was my right to enter the Big Artists category the following year. I had a song I adored called Una vita migliore and was adamant it was the perfect song for me, portraying what I was feeling at the time. Then Strani Amori turned up, without me even looking for it. The first time I listened to this song I was in the house that had become my fan club and where I spent hours and hours reading and answering the letters people sent me, writing to me as if I were their girlfriend, sister, daughter... telling me about their lives and their Strani Amori (literally,

Me emocione mucho al pensar que podra dedicar una cancin a quienes me queran sin ni siquiera conocerme. As que llame a mi manager y le dije: Voy a San Remo con Amores Extraos!. Han pasado muchos aos pero os quera dar las gracias a vosotros por haber hecho que tenga la suerte de elegir esta cancin. N.B. la cancin que tendra que haber cantado la canto al final otra cantante, sin ni siquiera preguntarme si yo quera hacerlo y sufr por ello; pero el destino hizo que as fuesen las cosas y no puedo quejarme!

R ecuerdo el fro que haca en la montaa de Islandia donde grab el videoclip. Estaba sola con un helicptero sobrevolando por encima y una cmara que me grababa mientras le cantaba al cielo tu no me dejes ms. Siempre hay alguien a quien dedicrsela. Son pocas las personas que se han dado cuenta de que esta cancin habla de soledad, una palabra y una sensacin que siempre me ha dado miedo y esto me ha llevado a enfrentarme a ella en numerosas ocasiones con mi msica.
I remember how cold it was on the mountain top in Iceland where we filmed the video for this song. I was alone, with a helicopter flying over my head and a camera filming me while I sang never leave me. There is always someone or something to dedicate a song to, but only a few people have realised that this ones about loneliness, a word and feeling that have always scared me which is why Ive sung about it so many times. I still adore singing Incancellabile today, although something inside mes changed.

na de mis canciones preferidas. Desde este disco empec a escribir textos (lo haca ya desde antes pero en realidad no me dejaban firmarlas con mi nombre ups. Lo he dicho!) Y quien me estimul fue precisamente el protagonista de esta cancin que habla de amistad: Cheope. He cantado esta cancin en tres idiomas y he decidido incluirla aqu con en una versin indita italiano/portugus compartiendo la voz y la amistad con Ivete Sangalo. Una reina. Una voz nica. Una amiga que entiende muy bien Las cosas que vivo.
This is one of my favourite songs. It was produced when I started writing lyrics (which I was actually doing earlier but wasnt allowed to sign them ) and the person who encouraged me was the main character of this song about friendship: Cheope. I sang it in three languages and decided to include an unpublished italian/portuguese version of it here, singing with my friend Ivete Sangalo, a true queen of Brazilian music. A unique voice and a friend who really understands what I go through.

Strange Loves). I got really excited about the thought of dedicating a song to those who were fond of me without really knowing me. I called my manager and said Im going to Sanremo with Strani Amori. Many years have passed since then but I want to thank you for supporting the choice I made. N.B. The song I was originally going to sing was given to another performer and I wasnt even asked if I wanted to do it. Although this really upset me at the time, it was clearly the hand of fate and Im certainly not complaining now!

Estaba en Argentina para la promocin del disco

Estaba buscando nuevas canciones para el disco,

tena unas ganas terribles de volver a cantar Recuerdo que mi corista Emanuela Cortesi me llamo y me dijo: Laura hay un autor al que tienes que prestar atencin, su cancin es preciosa. Tenia razn, llore escuchndola y le dedique el texto a mi hermana que en aquel momento viva una situacin muy dolorosa. Creo que an hoy en da es una de mis canciones ms bonitas en todas y cada una de las versiones en las que la he interpretado.

I was looking for new songs for my album and was dying to sing again I remember that my choralist, Emanuela Cortesi, called me and said: Laura, theres a writer you just HAVE to listen to, his song is simply beautiful. She was right. I cried when I heard it and dedicated the lyrics to my sister who was going through a really difficult patch at the time. I still think its one of my best songs, in all the versions Ive sung.

Mi Respuesta cuando recib una llamada de David Foster. Casi me desmayo. El crea que haba llegado el momento de trabajar juntos seriamente y me dijo que tena una cancin que se adaptaba bien a m, escrita por Richard Marx y que formara parte de la banda sonora de la pelcula Mensaje en una botella con Kevin Costner. En ese momento no hable y pens en el lugar en el que nac, me volv a desmayar y solo despus recupere el habla para preguntarle cuando tena que ir a verle, el me contesto: La grabacin es maana en Los ngeles. Tena fiebre y un miedo increble. Pero a la tarde del da siguiente all estaba, con l, cantando en vivo y en directo con la orquesta que diriga el propio William Ross. Una experiencia escalofriante.
I was in Argentina promoting my La mia risposta album when I got a call from David Foster. I honestly thought Id pass out! He said hed decided that the time had come for us to do some serious work together and told me he had a song that would suit me, written by Richard Marx for the soundtrack to Message in a bottle with Kevin Costner. I was speechless, started thinking about the tiny little village Id been born in, almost passed out again and then somehow manage to find my voice and ask him where we could meet. Were recording in Los Angeles tomorrow, he told me. I had a temperature and was soooo scared, but the following afternoon I was there with him, singing live with an orchestra conducted by William Ross. It was an extraordinary experience.

Me llama Biagio Antonacci dicindome que quie- E sta cancin vio la luz en ingls y est firmada por
re que escuche algunas ideas... Viene a mi casa en Miln, se sienta en el silln blanco, el mismo que an tengo en mi nueva casa (y que tendr siempre para conservar el recuerdo) y con la guitarra empieza a cantar Ya no tengo miedo de ti Y yo Es el primer single! Es ma, la quiero enseguida!

Me encanto que le decidiese regalrmela, tuvo un xito enorme, pero sobre todo para mi es realmente una evergreen (hoja perenne). No me canso nunca de cantarla.

dos grandes autores suecos. Fue producida por una de las personas que ms estimo artstica y humanamente: KC Porter. La prefiero en versin original y as he querido dejarla en este disco, para quien an no la haya escuchado. En el videoclip entre los figurantes aparecen mi hermana y su marido jovencsimos!
This song was penned in English by two great swedish writers. I prefer the original version and chose to include it here for anyone who hasnt heard it yet. My sister and her husband, who were really young at the time, appear in the video.

So one day Biagio Antonacci called me saying hed like me to listen to a few ideas hed had He came to my home in Milan, sat down with his guitar on the white sofa I now have in my new house, and started singing non ho pi paura di te, tutta la mia vita sei tu. I went This just HAS to be the first single! Its mine! I want it now! I loved the fact hed decided to give me this song, its been enormously successful. Most of all, I never ever get tired of singing it.

Mi best of un disco que me ha dado mucho y

que me ha permitido viajar por el mundo con una gira en vivo increble y largusima. Esta cancin est escrita por Daniel Vuletic, un autor que me ha ayudado a expresar muchas veces mis emociones.
This song is from the Best of Laura Pausini album. Its given me so much and enabled me to travel around the world on an incredible, and really long, tour. It was written by Daniel Vuletic, whos helped me put my feelings into words many times. It talks about what would have happened in my private life a few months after the song had been released, when I made a mistake.

Cuenta, anticipando y por lo tanto asustndome, lo que algunos meses despus de la realizacin del disco hice en mi vida privada, cometiendo un error. El videoclip de esta cancin lo grabo Gabriele Muccino. Una experiencia preciosa.

The song came before this mistake, which freaked me out a bit. The video was filmed by Gabriele Muccino and his brother, Silvio. I felt as if I were part of them for a few days and it was a bit surreal too, to be honest, because I felt like an actress. A beautiful experience.

SURRENDER
NEW VERSION 2013 D. DEVILLER, S. HOSEIN, S. SMITH, A. ANDERSON

Q u historia tan larga la de esta cancin! Intentare ser lo ms concisa posible a pesar de no ser una de mis cualidades :-) Los jefes de Warner en Amrica llevaban aos pidindome que cantase en ingles pero yo no me senta preparada, antes o despus tena que encontrar el tiempo necesario para estudiar bien el idioma. No me gusta hacer las cosas a la ligera e imaginarme en la televisin americana sin entender ni poder expresarme me resultaba vergonzoso. En 2002 pase muchos meses en Los ngeles. Por la maanas a las 7 iba a la escuela y fue una experiencia maravillosa el volver a empezar todo desde el principio Recuerdo que algunos amigos y colegas me decan: quin te obliga? Yo tena ganas de aprender, de volver a empezar, de entender muchas cosas. Durante un ao busque canciones con la ayuda de los productores americanos del disco. Mientras grababa fui feliz por lo que estaba haciendo (en mi opinin el disco era precioso) y esperaba con todo mi corazn que eligiesen Its not a goodbye como primer single porque se trataba de una cancin que ya haba publicado en italiano y espaol y que me representaba completamente, en ingles tambin me gustaba mucho. Me dijeron que no, porque el tema era demasiado adult contemporaryy yo pens: vale, y qu

pasa?. Lo entend un poco ms tarde, ellos me queran pero transformndome en una artista ms young, probablemente sin considerar que yo ya haba elegido mi recorrido artstico desde haca aos. Un da el gran jefe me llamo y me dijo: Hemos elegido el primer single, te lo mando esta tarde y maana ya podrs cantarlo. Ya estbamos mixando el resto del disco. Escuche la cancin Surrender y pens que podra ser muy bonita cantada ms lenta Pero no fue as, sino al contrario, Surrender sali en versin Remix y llego incluso hasta las tres primeras posiciones de la dance chart en Amrica. Para muchos pudo ser una gran felicidad, pero yo me sent ajena a todo aquello que no era ni soy. Hable con la casa discogrfica de aquel entonces que me contesto que para ellos era lgico que continuase por esa direccin visto el xito del primer single. As que prepare mi maleta en el hotel de NYC y tome el primer avin de vuelta a Italia. Tome una decisin, muy seria, y que algunos crean equivocada, pero no lo fue para mi dignidad y el respeto que debo y quiero tenerle a quien me ha dado una carrera desde 1993 con el tipo de msica que a m me gusta hacer. Esta nueva versin refleja el modo en el que hubiese querido que la gente escuchase la cancin en el disco en ingls. Ahora juzgadla vosotros.

This song has a long story! Ill try and be as brief as possible although its not one of my strong points. :-) The bosses at Warner Bros. America had been asking me to sing in English for a few years, but I just wasnt ready. I had to find the time to study the language well first cause I hate sloppiness and even the thought of being on TV in the US without understanding or being able to make myself understood was embarrassing! I spent several months in Los Angeles in 2002 and for two of them went to school every morning at 7am. It turned out to be an amazing experience as I literally started from scratch I remember a few friends and colleagues saying whatever are you doing that for? but I wanted to learn, to try, to understand. I spent a year looking for songs with the help of an A&R (Artists and Repertoire division) from New York and the American producers of the disc. I was happy to record what I was working on (I think its a great album) and sincerely hoped Warner would choose Its not goodbye as the first single, as Id already released the song in Italian and Spanish and it really portrays me as I am. Its just wonderful in English. They said no,because the song would appeal to an adult audience rather than the one they wanted to target and I thought to myself So? Whats the harm in that?.

I understood a little too late. They wanted me, but were trying to get me to play to a younger audience. Theyd probably not taken into account the fact that Id chosen how I wanted my career to go a good many years before. One day the big boss called me and said, Weve got the first single. Ill send it over this afternoon and you can sing it tomorrow. We were already mixing the rest of the album. I listened to Surrender and thought how wonderful it would be if it were slower but thats not how it went. The remix of Surrender was released and went to top three in the American dance charts. I talked it over with the music label I was with at the time and they told me they felt it was best to continue as we were given the success the single was having. So I headed back to the hotel I was staying at in NYC packed my bags and took the first flight back to Italy. I made my choice, a tough one and maybe the wrong one for a number of years. However, it was the right one as far as my dignity was concerned, and the respect I had and wanted to show those whod followed my career since 1992 with the kind of music I love doing. This new version mirrors how Id have wanted to do it in English. Now its up to you to decide.

En este ao sucede un poco de todo estoy enfadada, perdida, y tengo miedo. Necesito amor, afecto y poder confiar. Por vez primera me ocupo sola de la produccin de un disco y por vez primera tomo todas las decisiones con mi instinto y mi corazn sin contar con demasiados juicios por parte de terceros. No s lo que ocurrir. Tengo miedo. Y llega una cancin que empieza as: No necesito ms de nada La amo. La quiero e intento cantarla con toda la verdad por delante que en ese momento sueo para mi futuro. Poco a poco descubro que muchas canciones presagian mi vida y que son premonitorias Cada vez que la canto me siento hermosa, curiosamente no siento miedo.
A whole bunch of things happened in 2004 I was angry, terrified, lost, needing love, affection and confidence in my ability. For the first time ever I produced an album on my own, deciding just to go with my instinct and heart without discussing it too much with other people. I didnt know what was going to happen and was scared. Then Biagio Antonacci turned up again. This time he came to my studio and didnt have a guitar with him. Instead, he sat down at the piano and started to sing non ho bisogno pi di niente, adesso che I was stunned and once again wondered why he didnt keep these extraordinary melodies for himself. I decided I wanted the song and tried to sing about my dreams for the future.

Esta cancin est incluida en el disco con el que ganamos el Grammy Award y con todas las otras que tambin lo estn, son y sern siempre, las canciones que se quedaran en mi corazn. Son las canciones de la venganza, son la muestra de que yo era capaz de hacer muchas cosas sola, a pesar de que me hubiesen dicho en numerosas ocasiones que yo sola vala bien poco. Muchos la llaman la cancin de la madrastra que me ha trado tanta suerte. Le he pedido a un amigo y artista inmenso que me acompae para poder compartirla: Alejandro Sanz, preparaos para sentir un verdadero escalofro!
Over the years, Ive discovered that many of my songs anticipate my life as it were, theyre kind of like a premonition Every time I sing it I feel beautiful, strangely Im not afraid at all. This song is on the album for which we were awarded a Grammy. And all the others on it are and will always be the songs of my heart, of Ill show them, of the proof I was able to do something alone despite having been told time and time again how little I was worth on my own. I wanted you to understand the beauty of these words in Spanish too, so asked a friend and extraordinary musician to sing with me and share it: Alejandro Sanz.

Solo hay que escucharla. No puedo decir ms, escu-

Un ao afortunado tras un ao de sufrimiento per-

chadla yo me senta as. La cante con rabia, con desilusin, con desconfianza, con ganas de venganza, con el miedo de no creer nunca ms en el amor. Por desgracia todos pasamos por eso. Al menos para m esta cancin supuso un apoyo y una ayuda, aun la canto con los mismos sentimientos porque ciertas maldades no se olvidan nunca. Puse demasiadas comas donde en cambio tendra que haber puesto un punto.
You have to LISTEN to this song, just listen. I cant say much else as thats just how I feel about it. Ive sung it when Ive been angry, disappointed, distrustful, wanting justice, scared of no longer believing in love. Unfortunately, we all go through it. At least I had this song to support and help me. I still sing it with the same feelings. Because there are certain kinds of spite you never forget. Id basically carried on and on with a relationship I shouldve quite simply broken off.

sonal. Me encontraba en Los ngeles cuando uno de mis productores me dijo que tena una cancin interesante en ingls. Fui a su estudio en Santa Monica, me hizo escuchar Like a flower y obviamente reconoc en seguida la voz de Madonna. Lo mire estupefacta y le dije: y? y l me dijo: Madonna quiere que esta cancin sea interpretada en espaol o italiano y cree que t eres la persona adecuada para hacerlo. No podra explicar la cara que puse ni la taquicardia que me dio. Solo os dir que Ella, la verdadera divina, me dio total libertad para escribir lo que quise. No me impuso nada. Mientras escribo esto an me pregunto si es real que me sucediese a m!
A lucky year after a very painful one. I was in Los Angeles and one of my producers told me he had this interesting song in English for me. I headed over to his studio and he put on Like a flower. I immediately recognized Madonnas voice, looked at him in surprise. He told me, Madonna wants someone to sing this in Spanish or Italian and I think youre the right person to do it. I cant describe the expression on my face nor how fast my heart started beating. But I can tell you this, being the truly amazing woman she is, Madonna gave me the freedom to write exactly what I wanted. She didnt force me to do anything. While I write these words I wonder, once again, if it really happened!

Mi hermana Silvia me anuncia su boda yo me

preparo feliz y melanclica porque siendo la mayor hubiese querido ser yo la primera y en cambio an estoy esperando! :-) Descubro que aun no tienen una cancin de amor. Cmo? La hermana de una cantante romntica como la Pausini no tiene una cancin para compartir con su marido? Qu sacrilegio! Entro en el estudio y le pido a un amigo pianista que me ayude a tocarla y le canturreo las notas que tengo en la mente y en la garganta. Sale en seguida, de un solo golpe. Durante la ceremonia no logre cantarla por la emocin. Esta nueva versin esta dedicada a vosotros a los futuros esposos.
So my sister Silvia announces shes getting married and Im both happy and a little sad as I prepare for her big day as, being the eldest, Id have wanted to be first but was still waiting! :-) I discover they dont have their own special love song were kidding, right? The sister of a romantic singer like Laura Pausini hasnt got a song to share with her husband? Sacrilege! So I head into the studio and a pianist friend plays the notes Ive got in my head as I hum. And out it comes. All in one breath. I didnt manage to sing it during the ceremony through, as I was too moved by all that was going on This new version is dedicated to you bride and groom.

Gracias a nuestros amigos en comn conoc a Luca Cuando escucho esta cancin me conmuevo, porque
Barilla, que an hoy es una de las personas que ms estimo en Italia por el padre que es por lo que junto a su familia crea cada da con humildad. Grabamos un anuncio para el da de la mujer y se transmiti en la televisin italiana la semana del 8 de marzo. Me pidi que pensase en una cancin y se me ocurri She. Mi idea fue dedicar la cancin a mi madre.

Ladies and Gentelment Michael Bubl y aqu se

canta de verdad! Los ngeles, en el mismo teatro donde ya haba cantado en concierto unos meses antes, esta vez en cambio estoy con el divertido, carismtico, entonadsimo para muchos mi mejor do. Quiero ser sincera, cuando lo veo y los escucho disfruto como una loca! Gracias de nuevo Michael
Ladies and Gentlemen, Michael Bubl and here things get serious. Los Angeles, the same theatre Id performed in just a few months earlier but this time with him fun, charismatic, with a great voice. Many people feel this is my best duet and I wanted it to be sincere, I gazed at him, listened to him and had the time of my life performing with him! Thanks again Michael

I met Luca Barilla through friends. Still today hes one of the people in Italy I hold in the very highest esteem because of the father he is and for that which he and his family humbly create day after day. He showed me everything his father Pietro and the great singer Mina made together and confided that he wanted to recreate those very special moments with me. We recorded an advert for International Womens Day aired on Italian TV in the week around the 8th of March. He asked me to think of a song and She sprang to mind. My idea was to dedicate the track to my Mum.

la produccin de este precioso tema es del mtico Phil Ramone, un productor que nos ha dejado este ao y que me veneraba. Cuando me vea me deca siempre: cantame algo aunque solo sea ciao! Lo conoc gracias a Luciano Pavarotti, otro amor musical de mi vida. En 2005 Phil me llamo y me dijo: La familia de Ray Charles me ha pedido que te pregunte si te gustara grabar un dueto Miro hacia arriba y le digo a Dios: Eres realmente genial! Por supuesto! grabo enseguida! Es un gnero musical muy diferente al mo y como siempre esto hace que an me guste ms la idea.
This song moves me whenever I listen to it. Its an amazing track and was produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, who passed away this year and was incredibly fond of me. Whenever we met hed say go on... sing me something even if its just ciao! I met him through Luciano Pavarotti, another musical love of my life. In 2005, Phil rang me and said: Ray Charles family has asked me to contact you to see if youd like to record a duet I look up and say to god: Well you totally rock! and of course the answer was yes, Id very much like to record a duet... right now! This kind of music isnt like mine at all, which is something I adore as my best duets have always been with singers whose music is different to mine.

Hay canciones que se quedan en tu mente para Una voz realmente increble. Andrea y yo empezasiempre y aunque no son tuyas es como si lo fueran. Yo tengo muchas y pens en reunirlas todas en un disco que llam YO CANTO y que es una recopilacin de algunos de los temas ms famosos de cantautores italianos. sta en particular est escrita por un artista muy intimista y cuando la escuche en la radio por primera vez pens Tambin yo quiero cantarla un da.
There are songs that stay with you forever and that you feel are totally yours, even if theyre not. Ive got loads of them myself, so I thought Id bring a few of them together in an album, IO CANTO compilation of some famous songs of italian songwriters. This song, in particular, was written by a very intimed artist and when I listened to it on the radio, I said to myself I want to sing it too one day.

M iguel Bos es una de las personas por las que sien- No hay mucho espacio pero no puedo evitar
to ms afecto en el mundo de la msica. Cuando me llamo para cantar en su disco Papito no solo me sent lista y feliz poe colaborar, sino que le propuse cantar ms de una cancin!... Miguel me pidi que cantase Te amar porque para l tiene un significado personal muy especial ver como se conmova en el estudio de grabacin en New York mientras cantaba para l me dejo sin aliento. Un do que llevare siempre en el corazn.

mos juntos en Italia, en San Remo, y l al igual que yo, antes de tener la suerte de convertir su pasin en trabajo, hizo durante mucho tiempo piano barun fabuloso aprendizaje que para los dos ha sido un verdadero placer. Lo quiero mucho, en nuestra vida personal tenemos tambin muchas cosas en comn, muchas alegras similares. Cant en su casa, en Versilia, con el escuchndome mientras me abrazaba bien fuertelo echo mucho de menos, estoy impaciente de poder coger su mano y cantar de nuevo!
Now heres a truly incredible voice. Andrea Bocelli and I started out together, at the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy and he, just like me, had sung in piano bars for years before being lucky enough to turn his passion into a career. Those years were our apprenticeship if you like, and we both enjoyed them immensely. Im incredibly fond of Andrea and we have a lot in common in our private lives, too, many similar joys. Ive sung with him at his home in Versilia, Tuscany, and he listened and held me tight I really miss him and cant wait to take his hand and sing with him again!

el hablar del estadio de San Siro. Como sucede a menudo no crea en mis capacidades y necesitaba apoyo en este caso debo dar las gracias a mi promotor y a mi manager porque me convencieron para subir al escenario del estadio ms importante y ser la primera mujer que lo haca. Y ms que a nadie debo estar agradecida con quien vino y regalo amor puro aunque estuviese diluviando Esta cancin estaba incluida en mi segundo disco Las cosas que vives .
Theres not space for many words here, but I couldnt not talk about the San Siro concert. As often happens I dont believe in my ability and need support in this case I have to thank my promoter and my manager because it was they who convinced me to be the first woman to go on stage in the most important football stadium in Italy. Thanks to all those who came to the concert, too, showing me once again that we have to make our dreams become reality and not just give them up because were too scared and then, when they come true weve got to rock the world, make them even cooler. This song was on my third album Le cose che vivi.

Miguel Bos is one of the people Im most fond of in the world of music. When he called to ask me to sing on his Papito album, I wasnt just ready and pleased to take part, but suggested we sang more than one song Miguel asked me to sing Te Amar because it holds real meaning for him at a personal level. Seeing him moved in the recording studio in New York while I sang for him left me breathless. Its a duet Ill carry within me forever.

CON LA MSICA EN LA RADIO

ay personas que cuando nos dejan nos ensean No s si ya he hablado de la pasin de mi padre H algo nico. Cuando perd a mi abuela Teresa, por Charles Aznavour. Es su preferido, en mi casa su voz suena desde que yo estaba en el vientre de mi madre. Una tarde recib una llamada: Creo que esta vez no podemos decir que no, hay una peticin para hacer un do con Aznavour. Me imagine a mi padre escuchando a su hija cantar con su dolo y supe que ese sera el regalo ms grande que podra hacerle. Cante con mucha ternura, con todo mi corazn y de este modo Charles se convirti tambin para m en un icono. Durante la gira cant con mi padre en do en varias ocasiones. todo un espectculo! mientras la vea dar su ltimo respiro ante los ojos de mi madre, con mis manos sobre las de ella y las de ella sosteniendo las de su madre, entend que muchas cosas iban a cambiar en m. Realice que la muerte es un momento indescriptible e inaceptable para quien como yo ama tanto la vida. Y supe que haba hecho bien al haber hablado tanto de mis sentimientos y al haberle pedido que me contase muchas cosas sobre ella. Esta cancin est dedicada a mi abuela. Y a vosotros, que estis aun a tiempo para no esconder vuestros secretos y vuestras verdades a quienes queris, para no arrepentiros una vez que ya sea demasiado tarde. Contad quienes sois. No esperis.
There are people who teach us something unique when they pass away. When I lost my grandmother, Teresa, I watched her take her last breath, my hands in my mothers and hers holding those of her mother. I realized much would change within me and understood that death is indescribable and unacceptable for those like me who love life so very much. I also understood that Id been right to tell my grandmother all about me and ask her to do the same about her. This song is for my grandmother. And for those of you who are still in time not to hide your secrets, your truths from those you love - talk. Dont wait. That way you wont be sorry when its too late.

NEW VERSION 2013 D . V U L ETI C , L . PAU SI N I , C HEO PE SPANISH ADAPTATION: J. BALLESTEROS

Sena que finalizar la produccin del disco y en

I dont know if Ive ever talked about my Dads fondness for Charles Aznavour. Hes his favourite singer/songwriter and has been played in our house ever since my mum was expecting me. One afternoon my manager called me saying: I dont reckon were going to be able to say no to this one. Ive been asked for you to sing with Aznavour. I imagined how my Dad would feel, hearing his daughter singing with his idol and felt I couldnt have given him a bigger gift. Singing tenderly, I really put my heart into this song and during the process Charles became an even bigger icon for me. When I was on tour I sang it a few times with Dad that was awesome!

cambio senta que faltaba algo, algo que capturase colores y perfumes, rayos de sol, felicidad. Llame a Daniel y a Cheope esperando que hubiese alguna cancin por ah perdiday la habay as la titulamos. En aquel periodo junto a mi manager tenamos pensado contactar a James Blunt pero no tena una cancin que me alentase a hacerloy entonces lleg ella, nuestra cancin.
I was about to wind up the production of the album but felt something was missing, something encompassing colour and perfume, rays of sun, joy. I called Daniel and Cheope hoping that there was a new song in the air and there was which is why we called it what we did (literally, early spring). At the time, my manager and I had thought of involving James Blunt but I didnt have the right song then this one arrived, our song.

en directo lo pasaremos en grande! Esta cancin, que terminamos de escribir en Cerdea durante la ltima fecha del World Tour 09, me conquisto enseguida. La primera frase Sintate aqu, en el suelo as, en esta sala que pintaremos Naci mientras pensaba en mi ltima mudanza y en mi nueva casa vaci en la que por fin no estara sola! No haba muebles y no tenia personalidad, pero esa casa estaba lista para recibir a dos personas que compartiran su vida, a dos personas que empezaban a conocerse y a construir cosas juntas. La nica cosa que tenan era una vela, una caja llena de cd, una botella de vino rojo yla msica en la radio
This new version drives me crazy and itll be fun sharing it live! We finished writing this song in Sardinia for the last date of the World Tour and it won me over immediately. The first line seduti qui, per terra cos, in questa camera da imbiancare (sitting here, on the floor, just as we are, in this room that needs painting), came about when I thought of the time I moved into my empty new house and was no longer alone (at long last!). There was no furniture and it had no personality, but was ready to welcome a shared life, that of two people who were getting to know each other and ready to build something together. All we had was a candle, a box full of CDs, a bottle of red wine and the music on the radio

C on el pasar de los aos he entendido que siempre Nunca fue un secreto mi deseo de ser madre, pero
Siento paz. Han pasado casi dos aos desde que se public m el ltimo disco y desde que tuvo lugar la ltima gira. Echo todo eso de menos, echo de menos a mis fans y a mi vida de siempre. Quise hacer una pausa para recuperar mi aliento, pero la verdad es que nunca he dejado de pensar en mi msica y en mi vuelta al escenario. Esta cancin naci as, resultado de un amor desmesurado por aquello que hago y por quien me permite hacerlo.
Its night time. Im alone in my bed in Castel Bolognese. Peace. Almost two years have passed since my last album and concerts. I miss everything, I miss my fans and the life Ive always lived. Although I wanted to stop for a while to take a breather, the truth is Id never stopped thinking about my music and about returning to the stage. Thats how this song was written. With immeasurable love for what I do and for those who let me do it.

Nueva York, que bellezael Lincoln Center, que E s de noche, estoy en mi cama en Castel Bolognese.
honorY nosotros ah dentro, con la msica a todo gas y un pblico increble un concierto inolvidable! Esta cancin fue el primer single de mi tercer disco, Mi respuesta. Mientras nos ocupbamos de la masterizacion el presidente de Warner Italia nos comunica que una joven artista italiana haba anunciado la salida de su primer single que se titulaba como el mo. Me entro el pnico, busque otros ttulos pero esta cancin ya la habamos escrito hace tiempo, durante la gira del ao precedentela llamaba Emergencia de amor desde siempreas que decid no cambiar el ttulo pero estaba histrica ;-).
The beauty of New York, the honour of performing at the Lincoln Center And there we were inside, with loud music and an amazing audience an unforgettable concert! This song was the first single on my fourth album La mia risposta, one I recorded in the US. Just as we were about to burn the album, the president of Warner Music Italy contacted us to tell us a young Italian singer had announced the release of her first single and it had the same name as mine! I panicked and tried desperately to come up with another title but wed written the song the year before while we were on tour Id always called it Emergenza dAmore I decided not to change the title but was hysterical about it ;-)

habr alguien que tendr que criticar o decir algo. Alguien que siempre encontrara solo los aspectos negativos para resaltar las diferencias entre nosotros. Pues Bienvenido sea. Yo, que ya estoy acostumbrada a leer y a vivir de todo, creo estar preparada para afirmar que la diversidad es nuestra fuerza. No tenemos que avergonzarnos nunca de lo que somos, nunca. Y no tenemos por qu cambiar si solo son los dems quienes quieren que as sea. Hay que afrontar las cosas con otra mirada y con otras motivaciones. Tenemos que hablar siempre, por qu? Relajarse ayuda a sonrer ms a menudo y a tener ms ganas de vivir, a despertarse por la maana con una nueva idea positiva. Que a este punto sea realmente Bienvenido.

un hijo llega cuando l quiere, no se programa en una agenda. Cuando menos me lo esperaba, tras un concierto me encontr mal y descubr que iba a ser mam. En ese mismo concierto cante Celeste, una cancin dedicada a todas las mujeres que no quieren rendirse ante la idea de tener un hijo. Mientras se pueda hay que intentarlo. Y yo he deseado tanto poder abrir las ventanas de mi habitacin y mostrar el cielo celeste de mi tierra a mi hija que hoy en da puedo decir que lo hago de verdad. Esta cancin me ha trado mucha suerte.
My desire for motherhood has never been a secret, but a baby arrives when it wants to, you cant plan it like you plan your schedule. And one day, when I was least expecting it, I started feeling queasy after a concert and discovered I was expecting. During that same concert Id sung Celeste, a song written for all those women who dont want to give up the idea of having a child. You absolutely have to try for as long as you can. And Id dreamed of being able to open the windows of my bedroom and show my daughter the blue sky over my homeland of Romagna and now I actually do! This song has brought me so much luck. 33

GRANDES EXITOS

As time goes by Ive understood that there will always be someone who has something negative or critical to say about you. Someone who simply HAS to find fault with what you do and how different you are. So Benvenuto, welcome to them. Im now used to reading about and experiencing all kinds of different stuff and am ready to hold that our strength comes from our differences. Never be ashamed of who you are - ever. And dont change either, if that change is for someone else. Weve got to start seeing things in a different way and with another spirit. Why do we feel we always have to talk about other people behind their backs? If we relax and smile more then well want to live more. Well wake up in the morning feeling more optimistic. So at this stage all I want to say is: welcome, whoever you are.

Cada uno de nosotros tiene una persona especial con quien disfrutar de la soledad. Despus de 20 aos hablo de este sentimiento de una forma muy diferente a la de antes. No es necesario que esa persona sea nuestra pareja, puede ser un hijo, un padre, un amigo, o nuestra pasin. Algunas sensaciones se sienten solo con pocas personas y solo con ellas sabemos lo que significa quedarse solo con el mundo alrededor apagado. Each of us has a special person to share the joy of loneliness with. And after 20 years I can talk about loneliness very differently to the way I did in the past. This special person doesnt have to be a partner, it can be a child, a parent, a friend or what were passionate about. There are certain feelings we can only have for a very few people in this world. Its only when were with them that we know what it means to be alone, whilst the rest of the world fades into the background.

Quien me conoce realmente sabe que a m me gustan las cosas claras. No me gustan los secretos ni las medias tintas. Necesito saber que quien tengo delante es transparente, lmpido. No me gustan los cambios pero muchas personas a las que he querido han cambiado o han intentado cambiarme. Una cosa es cierta: no soy una persona que se esconde y esta cancin es un himno a la claridad. Cantarla con Kylie ha sido realmente sorprendente. La adoro. Anyone who knows me well also knows Im one of those people who likes things to be clear. I cant be doing with secrets and half truths, I need to know that the person I have in front of me is honest, clear. I dont like change, but many of the people Ive loved either tried to change me or they themselves changed. One thing is certain. Im not one to hide away and this song is a hymn to clarity.

He querido resaltar el concepto de elegirserecprocamente aludiendo a cuando nos damos cuenta de que no podra ser de otro modo y de que tiene que ser enseguida, me refiero a todas las edades, en todos los contextos, y a todos los aspectos del amor. Hablo tambin de la imagen del tiempo que pasa, que no tiene tiempo para dejar a un lado a la cotidianidad, abandonarlo todo y tomarse ese tiempo para las personas que realmente cuentanEl amor te derriba la puerta de casa, el amor no se elige. I wanted to stress the concept of choosing each other mutually which happens when you decide you can live no other way immediately, at any age and in any context, in all facets of love. Im also talking about the picture of time which passes, which doesnt have time lets stop our routines, drop everything and take time out for those who count Love isnt a choice, it will break down your front door to get in.
