Caruso

Lyrics

Qui dove il mare luccica
 e tira forte il vento
 sulla vecchia terrazza
 davanti al golfo di Surriento
 un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
 dopo che aveva pianto
 poi si schiarisce la voce
 e ricomincia il canto
 Te vojo bene assai
 ma tanto tanto bene sai
 e' una catena ormai
 che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
 Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
 penso alle notti la in America
 ma erano solo le lampare
 e la bianca scia di un'elica
 senti il dolore nella musica
 e si alzo dal pianoforte
 ma quando vide uscire
 la luna da una nuvola
 gli sembro piu dolce anche la morte
 guardo negli occhi la ragazza
 quegli occhi verdi come il mare
 poi all'improvviso usci una lacrima
 e lui credette di affogare
 Potenza della lirica
 dove ogni dramma e un falso
 che con un po'di trucco e con la mimica
 puoi diventare un altro
 ma due occhi che ti quardano
 cosi vicini e veri
 ti fan scordare le parole
 confondono i pensierei
 cos diventa tutto piccolo
 anche le notti la in America
 ti volti e vedi la tua vita
 dietro la scia di un'elica
 ma si, e la vita che finisce
 e non ce penso poi tanto
 anzi, si sentiva gia felice
 e ricomincio il suo canto
 Te vojo bene assai
 ma tanto tanto bene sai
 e una catena ormai
 che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai
 English:
 Here, where the sea shines
 And the wind howls
 On the old terrace
 Beside the gulf of Sorrento
 A man embraces a girl
 After the tears
 Then clears his throat
 And continues the song:
 I love you very much
 Very, very much you know
 It is a chain by now
 That heats the blood inside the veins
 You know
 He saw the lights out on the sea
 Thought of the nights there in America
 But they were only the fisherman's lamps
 And the white wash astern
 He felt the pain in the music
 And stood up from the piano
 But when he saw the moon
 Emerging from a cloud
 Death also seemed sweeter to him
 He looked the girl in the eyes
 Those eyes as green as the sea
 Then suddenly a tear fell
 And he believed he was drowning
 I love you very much
 Very, very much, you know
 It is a chain by now
 That heats the blood inside the veins
 You know
 The power of opera
 Where every drama is a hoax
 With a little make-up and with mine
 You can become someone else
 But two eyes that look at you
 So close and real
 Make you forget the words
 Confuse your thoughts
 So everything becomes small
 Also the nights there in America
 You turn and see your life
 Through the white wash astern
 But, yes, it is life that ends
 And he did not think much about it
 On the contrary, he already felt happy
 And continued his song
 I love you very much
 Very, very much, you know
 It is a chain by now
 That heats the blood inside the veins
 You know
