It should be time to say hello

In regards to my earlier post, "Time to say goodbye," I just want to say that I've loved that song but never knew really what they were saying, other than "time to say goodbye." That's because the song is sung in Italian. Anyway, it's such a haunting song, I always thought they were saying it was time to say goodbye because they were leaving each other- due to a war, or death, or some other tragic separation. When in reality, it's so much better! After reading the translated lyrics, they are saying it's time to say goodbye to everything they've ever known, because they're going to start new adventures together. Though you'd never know it by the title, this is actually a perfect wedding song. It's so fitting, because at a wedding, you're leaving your family and starting a new one. You have an entirely new adventure awaiting you, and while it is scary and bittersweet, it is time to say goodbye to what you used to know. But the best part is, in saying goodbye to someone or something, you'll always be saying hello to someone or something else. :)
