It's Italian
it means "I live for her".
But it can mean also "I live for You" (we, Italians, use Lei, female singular third person as formal way to addressing someone; more or less as Germans use Sie, plural third person)
I live = (io) vivo
per = for
her = lei
In this song, Lei (she/her) is music (in italian "musica" is a female gender name), but "lei" is properly used for persons, not for thing or abstract concept. But this song stress on a sort of wordplay

Since in the context it's referred to the music, the correct translation into English of 'vivo per lei' it's "I live for it"
Here is a link with the full song text in Italian.

It's Italian and it means "I live for her"
Vivo = I live
Per = for
Lei = her
But "her" in this case is not a woman, it's the music (in Italian the word for music, musica, is feminine), so in English I guess it would me more correct to say "I live for it" or "I live for the music".

There are two possible answers:
Vivo = I live
per = for
lei = her OR you (formal; much like "usted" in Spanish)
The formal "you" in Italian is technically supposed to be capitalized but sometimes people don't do it. It really could mean both; but since it is in a context of a song, it probably is informal and therefore, probably means "her."

Andrea Bocelli's Cd " Romanza : is one of my favourites and the duet on " Vivo per lei " is good but I prefer " Per Amore " For Love.

It means I live for her or I live for you but in this case if you know the song you may see that the singer refers to a woman. Bye!

it literally means "I live for her" but in the context of the song Bocelli is talking about music and not a woman as one might think so I guess you would haveto say something like "I live for the music"
