Sal da Vinci – Per Sempre Sì (English Translation) Lyrics

💞 [Verse 1: The Journey from Strangers]
It all started from the very beginning,
When for you I was just a stranger.
Then I became a king with a heart in love—
You, a queen, now dressed in white as a bride.

We dreamed of children in a big house
And overcame all the difficulties.
Because a love is not a love for life
If it has not faced the steepest climb.

🎶 [Pre-Chorus 1: The Greatest Day]
And the music will start, and here I will wait for you.
I will give you the greatest day.

💍 [Chorus: The Eternal Vow]
It will be you and me—forever.
Bound for life because
Without you, it is worth nothing.
It makes no sense to live.

With my hand on my chest,
I promise it to you before God:
It will be you and me.
From here, it will be forever “Yes.”

🏔️ [Verse 2: Facing the Unknown]
I know well that the future is a great unknown,
But together with you, it will not scare me because
We will build everything, but we will not raise a wall.
Argue and make love—and then what is wrong with that?

🎶 [Pre-Chorus 2: The Song for You]
And the music will start; for you, I will sing.
I will give you the greatest day.

💍 [Chorus]
It will be you and me—forever.
Bound for life because
Without you, it is worth nothing.
It makes no sense to live.

With my hand on my chest,
I promise it to you before God:
It will be you and me.
From here, it will be forever “Yes.”

🕊️ [Bridge: The Power of One Word]
Only “Yes.”
For these days and a thousand more.
A simple “Yes”—
Eternity is inside one word.

💍 [Final Chorus]
It will be you and me—forever.
Bound for life because
Without you, it is worth nothing.
It makes no sense to live.

With my hand on my chest,
I promise it to you before God:
It will be you and me.
So it will be forever “Yes.”

💖 Lyrics Meaning & Emotional Core

“Per Sempre Sì” is a timeless wedding anthem that celebrates the journey of love from its first spark to its most sacred commitment. It acknowledges the challenges of a shared life while affirming that those very challenges are what make love real and lasting.

• Core Theme: The Journey from Stranger to Forever
  The song opens with a simple, universal truth: all great loves begin with two people who are strangers. The transformation from stranger to “king with a heart in love” and from unknown to “queen… dressed in white” is the miracle of connection. This is not a love that was always there; it’s a love that was built, earned, and chosen.

• Love Tested by the Climb
  The first verse contains a profound definition of lasting love: “Because a love is not a love for life if it has not faced the steepest climb.” True love is not the absence of difficulty but the presence of shared struggle. The couple has already “overcome all the difficulties,” and this history of overcoming is what gives their commitment weight.

• The Greatest Day
  The pre-chorus speaks of “the greatest day”—the wedding day, the moment of public declaration. The music starts, the singer waits, the vow is made. This is the culmination of the journey, the day when all the promises become official.

• The Vow
  The chorus is the vow itself: “It will be you and me—forever.” This is not a wish but a promise, made “before God” with “my hand on my chest.” The declaration that “without you, it is worth nothing” is the ultimate expression of dependence—not weakness, but the recognition that life’s meaning is found in the beloved.

• The Unknown Future
  The second verse acknowledges the fear of the unknown but refuses to be paralyzed by it. “Together with you, it will not scare me.” The couple will “build everything, but we will not raise a wall.” This is a beautiful distinction: building a life together does not mean building barriers. They will remain open, vulnerable, and connected.

• Arguments and Love
  “Argue and make love—and then what is wrong with that?” This line is refreshingly honest. A real relationship includes conflict and reconciliation. The speaker is not promising a life without disagreement; they are promising a life where disagreement is just part of the rhythm, not a sign of failure.

• The Power of “Yes”
  The bridge is the song’s emotional climax: “A simple ‘Yes’—eternity is inside one word.” The wedding vow is reduced to its essence: one word, spoken from the heart, that contains all the promises, all the hopes, all the years to come. This “Yes” is not just for the wedding day but for “these days and a thousand more.” It’s a daily choice, a perpetual affirmation.

• Forever “Yes”
  The final chorus changes “it will be forever ‘Yes'” to “so it will be forever ‘Yes.'” The shift is subtle but significant: it’s no longer a hope but a declaration, a certainty. The “Yes” has been spoken, and it echoes into eternity.

In essence, “Per Sempre Sì” is a love vow set to music. It traces the arc from first meeting to wedding day, acknowledges the challenges and unknowns ahead, and finds its power in a single word. The “Yes” is not just an answer to a question; it’s a commitment to face everything together, to build without walls, to argue and make love, and to choose each other every day. Without you, it is worth nothing. With you, forever begins now.
