"Ti amo" is a 1977 song recorded by Italian singer Umberto Tozzi from the album È nell'aria...ti amo. It achieved success at the time, becoming a hit in many European countries, including Sweden and Switzerland where it topped the charts. A Spanish version was released as "Te Amo", and had a good success in Spain and Latin America. Within the German speaking countries a German version by Howard Carpendale also received a great success in 1977, peaking at number two in Germany and number ten in Austria. In 2002, the song was overdubbed as duet with singer Lena Ka under the title "Ti amo (rien que des mots)", with Italian and French lyrics. This version was a success in France and Belgium (Wallonia), reaching the top three. At the time, the original version was re-released and achieved a moderate success in France. A french version of this song was recorded by Dalida in 1977. An English version was also recorded by Laura Branigan in 1984, which, most notably, was a hit in Australia (reaching #2). It should not be confused with the Gina G song of the same name from 1997.

Ti amo dove sei andato, amore mio, amore mio
I remember when I saw your face
You caught me smiling, I had to look away
And I could not resist the promise of your kiss
Now, dream is all I do, of paradise and you
(1) I wanna be where the sun is shining
Amore mio
I wanna have you there beside me
Amore mio
Now those lazy summer days
They seem so far away
Wherever you may go
Ti Amo
I remember sunsets on fire
Nights of endless passion
Burning with desire
I close my eyes, I can see your smile
Sky is clear, the ocean blue
I'm in paradise with you
(1)
Take me back to where the magic is
Let me hold you in my arms
Under the stars
Rainy days and lonely nights
Only darkness there's no light
Without you in my life
Ti Amo
