Bamboleo

"La Solitudine" (English: Loneliness) is an Italian ballad recorded by pop singer Laura Pausini. It launched Pausini's career in 1993, when she won the Sanremo Music Festival as a newcomer act.

"La Solitudine" was released as a single in 1993 from her debut album Laura Pausini, and was re-recorded as a slower, more dramatic ballad with live instrumentation for her 2001 compilation album The Best Of Laura Pausini: E Ritorno Da Te.

The lyrics to the Italian version of the tender song are about a boy named Marco, who was separated from his girlfriend at the urging of his family and sent to live far away from her. The (now former) girlfriend makes an emotional and heartfelt plea, singing to him about the loneliness they would feel without each other.

Other versions

"La Soledad", a Spanish version of "La Solitudine", was the first single Pausini released to the Spanish-speaking market in 1994. This Spanish version reached #22 on U.S. Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart. Pausini also re-recorded the song in 2001 for the Spanish-language version of Lo Mejor De Laura Pausini: Volveré Junto A Ti, with the same musical arrangement as the new Italian version.

Cuban timba group Bamboleo recorded a salsa version of "La Soledad" for their 1996 album Te Gusto o Te Caigo Bien. Bamboleo's version also features lead female vocals, but the final refrain repeats in both Spanish and English.

A year later, DLG followed suit, recording a salsa version of "La Soledad" for their 1997 album Swing On. Lead singer Huey Dunbar removed the reference to "Marco" and replaced it with "ella" (she). DLG's version also adds a spoken reggae bridge to the song, in which the woman Dunbar is singing to responds to his plea and vows to return.

Also in 1997, La Soledad was covered by world music group Pink Martini on their debut album "Sympathique," featuring lead male vocals.

The song also has a little-known English version titled "Loneliness," with lyrics written by Broadway composer Sir Tim Rice, which was released by German pop star Jamie Stevens on his 2002 album release "Unbreakable."

It also has a tagalized version titled "Hanggang Ngayon" written by Filipino composer Alvina Sy and sung by Ivy Violan on her album with the same title.
