"...E dimmi che non vuoi morire" (Italian for "...And Tell Me You Don't Want to Die") is a 1997 song performed by Italian singer Patty Pravo. It was composed by Roberto Ferri and Gaetano Curreri, with lyrics written by Vasco Rossi.[1]

Pravo performed the track at the 47th Sanremo Music Festival in February 1997 where it took the 8th place and won the critics' award.[2][3] It was released as a single with a live version of "Qui e là" and included on the concert album Bye Bye Patty issued the same month. "...E dimmi che non vuoi morire" changed the fortunes of Patty's long-declining career and was her first top 5 chart hit in Italy in almost 20 years.[4] The CD single has sold in over 300,000 copies.[5]
