i will survive
Donna Summers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You found me
Your love was a light
In the darkness that shone
So profoundly
Say that you'll stay
Do not be afraid, afraid
You, you're my breath
You are my imagination
Su le finesse
Song of my heart
Secrets I'm not afraid to whisper
Con te partiro
I'll go where you lead me
Wherever you are
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
Stranded alone on a sea of emotion
You found me
It's you who first found me
Come here, come here
Put your arms around me,
Come here
It's you who surrounds me
Come here, come here
Come here
Come here
You, you're my breath
The air I breathe
You are my imagination
Su le finesse
Song of my heart
Secrets I'm not afraid to whisper
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
Con te partiro
I'll go where you lead me
Wherever you are
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
In love together
Con te partiro
I'll go where you lead me,
Wherever you are
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
Forever true
In my...
Heart!
The first few lines of Donna Summers's song "I Will Survive" describe the feeling of being stranded and alone in a sea of emotion. The singer is lost and adrift until someone finds them – "you found me" – and their love becomes a source of light and hope in the darkness. This love is so profound that the singer begs the person not to leave them, saying "say that you'll stay / do not be afraid, afraid."
The song then transitions into a different melody, with the lyrics "Con te partiro" (meaning "with you I will leave" in Italian), likely alluding to Andrea Bocelli's famous classical crossover song of the same name. The singer vows to go wherever their lover leads them, staying in love forever and going with them wherever they may be. The use of Italian adds to the romantic nature of the lyrics, emphasizing the devotion and unwavering commitment of the singer to their partner.
The final lines bring the song back to English, with the singer saying "in my heart," again emphasizing the deep emotional connection they feel towards the person who has saved them from feeling stranded and alone. Overall, the song is a celebration of love and the enduring power it can have to help someone through their darkest moments.

Wonderful song!
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
Oh
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
