Grammar:
-
Così sono partito per un lungo viaggio
➔ Passato Prossimo with auxiliary "essere" and adverb "così"
➔ "Così" indicates 'so' or 'therefore', emphasizing the consequence of a previous action (though unstated here). "Sono partito" uses "essere" because "partire" is an intransitive verb. Passato Prossimo indicates an action completed in the past with relevance to the present.
-
Per non doverti rivedere
➔ Infinitive of purpose with negative particle 'non' and reflexive verb "rivedersi" using double pronouns.
➔ "Per non doverti rivedere" translates to "in order not to have to see you again". "Doverti rivedere" is the infinitive of "dovere" (to have to) followed by the infinitive "rivedere" (to see again), with the reflexive pronoun "ti" attached to the end.
-
E più mi allontanavo E più sentivo di star bene
➔ Comparative structures with "più...più" indicating 'the more... the more' and indirect statement with "sentire di + infinitive".
➔ This construction emphasizes a proportional relationship. "Più mi allontanavo, più sentivo di star bene" means "The further I got away, the more I felt like I was doing well." "Sentire di star bene" uses "di" to introduce the infinitive phrase expressing what was felt.
-
E quanto avrei voluto in quell'istante che Ci fossi
➔ Conditional mood (Congiuntivo Imperfetto) in an indirect statement, expressing a wish or regret in the past. Impersonal "ci" + "essere" in congiuntivo imperfetto.
➔ "Quanto avrei voluto... che ci fossi" translates to "How much I would have wanted... that you were there." "Avrei voluto" is the conditional past of "volere" (to want), expressing a wish. "Ci fossi" is the imperfect subjunctive of "esserci" (to be there), used in the subordinate clause after "che" to express the desired but unrealized situation. "Ci" indicates 'there'.
-
Perché ti voglio bene veramente
➔ Present tense of "volere bene" (to care for/love in a platonic way) with adverb "veramente".
➔ "Ti voglio bene veramente" means "I really care about you/I truly love you (in a non-romantic way)". "Veramente" reinforces the sincerity of the sentiment.
-
E non esiste un luogo dove non mi torni in mente
➔ Negative existential statement with "non esiste" followed by a relative clause with subjunctive mood ('torni').
➔ "Non esiste un luogo dove non mi torni in mente" means "There isn't a place where you don't come back to my mind". The subjunctive mood "torni" is used because the existence of such a place is uncertain or hypothetical.
-
Avrei voluto averti veramente
➔ Conditional Past Tense of "volere" (to want) + Infinitive "avere" (to have) + adverb "veramente". Expresses a wish or regret about something in the past that did not happen.
➔ "Avrei voluto averti veramente" translates to "I would have really wanted to have you". This expresses a strong desire that was not fulfilled. "Averti" combines the infinitive "avere" with the direct object pronoun "ti" (you).
