and " "che fortuna che ci sia..." is not finished. So tell me please, Alex: Does it mean "What luck that it is..." or "What luck there is..."?

I forgot to write in the remarks that, except the first sentence, it's a quote from the song "Sarà per te" by Francesco Nuti. 
- Son is an apocopated form for sono (apocopated verbs are very frequently used in poetry and songs, and sometimes also in spoken language). Despite our hate for words ending in a consonant, 1st and 3rd plural person of every tense can be apocopated: siamo -> siam ; avremo -> avrem ; facevano > facevan.
- Che fortuna che ci sia: the subject of "ci sia" is implied, but I'm quite sure it's "ella". So the meaning is kind of "I feel lucky that she's here" (lit. "What luck that she's here" ).
