"Cose della vita" (translated: Things in life) is a song originally released in 1993 by Eros Ramazzotti. The single's highest chart placing was number 1 in Belgium, number 3 in Spain and number 4 in Italy. The original version also was a smash hit in Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay in the fall of 1993, gaining strong TV rotation. The music video for the song was directed by Spike Lee.

The song originally from 1993 saw an international revival through a bilingual Italian-English 4:48 version released in 1997 as a duet with American singer "Tina Turner". The additional English lyrics were by Ralston and Tina Turner herself. The track was included in a later album by Ramazzotti titled Eros. The album was released on 28 October 1997.

"Cosas de la vida"

As is traditional with many other successful releases of Ramazzotti songs, he released a Spanish language parallel release for Spain, Mexico, Latin America and USA Latin markets titled "Cosas de la vida". That version appears in the parallel Spanish-language version to the album Tutte storie retitled Todo historias
