To reach his massive Latin American audience, Ferro released a Spanish version titled "Y estaba contentísimo" .

The song's chorus centers on a specific memory: a trip to Amsterdam where the couple sat in the rain, oblivious to everything but each other. This moment, illuminated only by a single candle, serves as a metaphor for the simplicity and beauty of their shared intimacy.

(And I Was Very Glad) is a poignant 2006 ballad by Italian singer-songwriter Tiziano Ferro , serving as the second single from his multi-platinum album Nessuno è solo . The song is a masterclass in the nostalgia of lost love , exploring the gap between past happiness and the silence that often follows a breakup. The Story Behind the Song

The recurring line "ma non te l'ho mai detto" (but I never told you) highlights a central theme of regret. The narrator realizes that while he was "very glad" in those moments, he kept that joy hidden, perhaps contributing to the relationship's eventual end.

Despite the pain of separation, the narrator expresses a selfless wish for his former partner to find "joy and true love" ( gioia e amore vero ) in her new life.

The bridge features the narrator crying out to God ( "Dio, ancora, ancora, ancora" ) for just a little more time in that past happiness, emphasizing the depth of his loss. Versions & Legacy

In recent years, a 4K Remastered Official Video was released to preserve the visual legacy of the track for modern audiences.
