Biagio Antonacci wrote the song "Vivimi" for Laura Pausini in 2004. "Vivimi" is tricky to translate, as it can mean "share life with me" or "experience me" or "live me."

Laura Pausini, in concert, sings a song about the wrenching difficulties of a long-distance relationship. The music and lyrics were written by Biagio Antonacci.

This song is an ode to the region of Basilicata, also known as Lucania, in the southernmost part of Italy. Some of the lyrics go by very very quickly, which is why it's classified as advanced. Still, the refrain is slower and clearer, so why not give it a whirl, even if you're a beginner!
