Cosa Sei by Ricchi e Poveri

Wow, this is such a beautiful song.
Its rhythm, lyrics, pacing, and the awesome video... Together, they perfectly capture the feeling of being in love, being captivated by that love, and letting it fully envelop your whole being.

Even though the video is shot in Milan, this song reminds me of the time I spent with my wife in Portugal. 

That feeling you get when you travel somewhere with your SO and she loves it. 
You love it because she loves it, then you realize you love it too...everything about it; the history of the place, the sophistication of the culture, the beauty of its people and language, the perfect weather, the amazing food, then the simple happiness of being able to drink it all in with the person you love.

Lyrics and translation:

A volte sai, non so perchè, mi trovo a chiedermi
Cosa sarà questa paura che ho di perderti
Che cosa c'è dentro di te che ti fa unico
E mi fa innamorare di te

Mi piaci sempre e passo I giorni stuzzicandoti
Con frasi come sto invecchiando sopportandoti
E forse è proprio il tuo carattere impossibile
Che mi fa innamorare di te

Cosa sei, cosa sei, cosa sei
Cosa sei, cosa sei, cosa sei
Sei qualcosa di più
Senza te io che cosa farei

Cosa sei quando dici di sì
Ogni istante anche adesso così
Cosa sei, cosa sei
Non lo sai neanche tu cosa sei

Mi piaci quando sei indecisa tra due abiti
E chiedi quale ma sai già che cosa metterti
È questo modo un po' infantile di non crescere
Che mi fa innamorare di te

Cosa sei, cosa sei, cosa sei
Cosa sei, cosa sei,…

English translation

She:
You know, sometimes I ask myself:
What is this a kind of fear to lose you?
What is inside of you that makes you unique
And makes me fall in love with you?

He:
I like to spend days teasing you
With phrases that I get old bearing you,
And, perhaps, your impossible character
Makes me fall in love with you.

He and she:
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
You are something more.
What would you do without me?
Who are you when you say “yes”
Every moment, even now?
Who are you? Who are you?
You don't know it.
Even you.
Who are you?

He:
I like when you are in doubts which dress to choose,
You ask me which one but you already know which one to put on
And this a bit infantile manner
Makes me fall in love with you.

He and she:
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
You are something more.
What would you do without me?
Who are you when you say “yes”
Every moment, even now?
Who are you? Who are you?
You don't know it.
Even you.
Who are you?

She:
If you only knew who you are when you are angry
And you remind me that I would lose having lost you,
And suddenly you merge in caresses
And make me fall in love with you.

He and she:
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
You are something more.
What would you do without me?
Who are you when you say “yes”
Every moment, even now?
Who are you? Who are you?
You don't know it.
Even you.
Who are you?
